Led by rock legend Buzz Osborne, who has been touring with his band for 42 years, and boasting the sterling musicianship of drummer Dale Grover, bassist Steven Shane McDonald, and drummer Coady Willis, the sludge-metal and hardcore-punk musicians of Melvins return to Davenport's Raccoon Motel on September 19 in support of their April release Thunderball, an album that, according to AllMusic, "confirms they haven't finished challenging themselves or their audience, not by a long shot."
