Date night in the LBC. Melvins and Redd Kross. Proto sludge/grunge and amped up glam. Haven’t seen Redd Kross since ‘87, first time for Melvins. So much fun! . First Frame: Buzz Osborne – Melvins . Second Frame: Jeff & Steven MacDonald – Redd Kross . Third Frame: Gina, Iggy, and Lou. . First time at Alex’s Bar. Great venue – small, friendly staff, stellar jukebox between sets (X, The Damned, Cheap Trick, Buzzcocks, The Nerves, The Soft Boys, Television, etc.) . . #melvins #reddkross #buzzosborne #jeffmacdonald #stevenmacdonald #punkrock #grunge #glam #datenight #livemusic #livemusicisthebestmedicine

Saw the #Melvins last night at #alexsbarlbc and they killed it as always. Thanks to #KingBuzzo and the clan for rocking my socks off more times than I can count. Live music is the best therapy. 🤘🤘🤘#oldschooliphone4photoforthewin
