Melvins & Boris playing classic albums in full on co

Boris and Melvins are teaming up for the "Twins of Evil tour" this fall where they will each be playing a classic album in full. Boris will perform 2002's Heavy Rocks and Melvins will play 1991's Bullhead. The seven-week tour begins August 24 in Los Angeles and wraps up October 14 in San Diego, hitting most major US cities along the way. All dates, which are with Mr Phylzzz, are listed below, and tickets for all just-announced dates go on sale Friday, June 9 at 10 AM local time.

The NYC date of the tour is part of Desertfest NYC on September 16 at Knockdown Center (tickets).

Boris' Takeshi notes the connection between the two bands: "Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead."

Boris also have a collaborative album with Uniform out next week.
