THE MELVINS WERE A DARK STAR IN THE GIDDY POP FIRMAMENT OF THE ABERDEEN EIGHTIES. OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR FRUSTRATING 10 YEAR CAREER, THE MELVINS' BRILLIANCE WAS ECLIPSED BY THEIR OLYMPIA ART WORLD CONNECTIONS AND THEIR OWN UNCOMPROMISING LYRICAL AND MUSICAL INTEGRITY : FOR THE GENERAL DIRGE PUBLIC, THEY NEVER QUITE CAME INTO FOCUS.
THE MELVINS WERE A BAND OF DISTINCT PARTS AND THEIR MUSIC WAS OFTEN PERCEIVED IN PIECES : BY SOME AS FAILED HARD ROCK, BLACK FLAG BOHO POSEY, OR SHEER SABBATH ATTACK NOISE; BY OTHERS AS PURE DOPE AND SEX DEPRAVITY.
THE RANGE OF ARTISTIC EFFECTS THAT DISTINGUISHED NIRVANA'S MUSIC REFLECTED THE BANDS VOLATILE POLYGLOT MAKE-UP. KURDT KOBAIN, THE CHIEF SONG-WRITER AND SINGER ( AND A GUITARIST OF PROTEAN POWER ), WAS A CLASSICALLY TRAINED DOPER WITH TIES TO THE STONERWITCHES - A LOVER OF EVERYTHING FROM PUNK ROCK BUS STOPS TO A GOOD PACK OF BUTTS. CHRIS NOVATACOMA, THE YUGOSLAVIC BASSIST, HAD STRONG CONNECTIONS TO THE SEATTLE AVANT-GARDE.
THE STORY OF HOW THIS RADICALLY DISPARATE CREW CAME TOGETHER - INTRIGUINGLY DETAILED IN THE BOOK UP ALL NIGHT : THE ABERDEEN UNDERGROUND STORY BY MATT LUKIN - IS AN UNLIKELY A CHRONICLE AS ANY IN THE ANALS OF ROCK.
- FERGUS LATHAM
- APRIL 1991.
