Buzz Osborne

August 07, 2020

Buzz Osborne co-founded The Melvins over 30 years ago. They have toured the world many times over and have released 30+ records.
Since their first tour, his work ethic and dedication to rock and roll sustainability has kept them on the road and putting out great, thoughtful records almost annually.  In this episode Buzz tells us about the first Melvins tour with southern California hardcore band RKL. They encounter filthy accommodations, acid trips, arrests and skinheads. Right when the tour comes to an abrupt end, Buzz witnesses the unimaginable in a Brooklyn phone booth that changes his perspective on tour and life in general. Music by Buzz Osborne and Joe Plummer.
