Melvins Announce Across the USA in 51 Days: The Movie! DVD for Nov. 13 Release
Those rascally Melvins kicked off their latest run through the UK and Europe a couple nights ago, having once again joined forces with Jared Warren and Coady Willis from Big Business, and the long-running specialists-in-the-zany have newly announced the release of Across the USA in 51 Days: The Movie!, which chronicles their 2012 tour playing all 50 states plus Washington D.C. between Sept. and Oct. 2012. It’ll be out on DVD, presumably through Ipecac, on Nov. 13. Please note, this is not the same as the Melvins documentary The Colossus of Destiny – A Melvins Tale, which successfully beat its crowdfunding target earlier this year.
Take it, PR wire:
THE MELVINS RELEASE ACROSS THE USA IN 51 DAYS: THE MOVIE!, RELEASED NOV 13; ON TOUR NOW
The Melvins, who are currently in the midst of a European tour, flash back to their 2012 attempt at a world record setting tour of the United States (plus DC) with the Nov. 13 DVD release of Across The USA in 51 Days: The Movie!
The tour launched on Sept. 5, 2012 from Anchorage, Alaska and wrapped up fifty-one days later, Oct. 25, on the sunny shores of Honolulu, Hawaii. “We figured it was time for us to do something REALLY crazy,” Buzz Osborne said at the time of the band’s transcontinental trek. The band documented the outing via Spin and also through a collection of never-before-seen video footage.
