  <title>101X Presents: The Melvins w/ Big Business (outside)</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Nearly 25 years have passed since the Melvins  were formed, and to this day they remain one of the most brutal forces in underground rock. They&amp;rsquo;ve always had the ability to attract an audience made up of both metal and punk fans, and because of this they have garnered a huge cult following. They are currently touring in support of their newest album &amp;quot;Nude with Boots&amp;quot;, called a &amp;quot;perfectly honed tablature of bludgeoning guitar work&amp;quot; by Billboard. Check them out at Emo&amp;#39;s on Friday night with openers Big Business. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click &amp;quot;I Like It!&amp;quot; to win free tickets!             &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <comment>The Melvins have begun a second life since the addition of two-man wrecking crew Big Business, which pulls double duty as opener. Their monolithic second album together, Nude With Boots (Ipecac), is chock-full of midtempo metal dirges, tandem drum sequences, and thundering Zeppelin grooves. The sludge oozes over to Beauty Bar on Saturday with the semiannual return of Tia Carrera side project Migas and Oh, Beast! &#8211; Austin Powell
