Melvins

In March 1993, during their performance at UCLA, the Melvins were riding the wave of their burgeoning influence in the grunge and heavy music scenes. Just prior to this live recording, in 1992, they released their critically acclaimed album "Houdini." This album, produced by the legendary Jack Endino, marked a significant point in their career as it was their first major release on a major label, Atlantic Records. "Houdini" showcased a blend of heaviness and experimentation that would become a hallmark of their sound, featuring fan-favorites like "Honey Bucket" and "Lizzy." Their live performances around this period were known for being raw and intense, capturing the energy of the band. This specific show highlights not just their musical prowess but also their emerging status as influential figures in the underground scene, melding punk rock dynamism with sludgy metal aesthetics, which would resonate with many future artists.
