  <title>Melvins performing Houdini in entirety 25th Anniversary Melvins in 1983 featuring original drummer</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Melvins are turning 25 and marking the occasion with a group of celebratory shows and feature a first set with the original line-up of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover (on bass) and original drummer Mike Dillard. For the second set Buzz, Dale and Trevor Dunn (bass player for Fantomas, MadLove, Mr. Bungle) will perform their killer album &quot;Houdini&quot; in its entirety. The Melvins formed in 1984 and has been labeled and re-labeled with each passing musical fad, but have outlasted each categorization and shone through as a creative entity that is unclassifiable. Their show at Emo's on Wednesday night is going to rock.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description>&lt;p&gt;Emo's Austin, Austin's best small venue for live music, is located just off 6th Street on Red River. On any given night you will find some of the best bands and the most colorful staff and patrons in all of Austin sitting at our bar. And don't let the doormen scare you--some of them are really nice guys (it says so in the women's bathroom).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <comment>All the Red River Street club rats who aren't rocking out to Ponytail and Harlem at Red 7 for the Chaos in Tejas pre-party will be at this show, watching these sludge-punk lifers plow through their most famous album, beginning to end.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.austin360.com/calendar/events2/etc/userEventDisplay.jspd?eventStatus=Approved&amp;eventid=243964&quot;&gt;more at www.austin360.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>

      <comment>Like a fine wine, Melvins only get better with age: The sludge sweetens, the riffage gets blacker, and King Buzzo&#8217;s hair gets more frightening.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://austin.decider.com/events/melvins-houdini,86537/&quot;&gt;more at austin.decider.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>

      <comment>Seattle&#8217;s Melvins reclaim a recorded summit on Wednesday with 1993 Atlantic debut Houdini, the epitome of the group&#8217;s Pacific Northwest metallic sinkhole.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Calendar/MusicListings?type=recommended&quot;&gt;more at www.austinchronicle.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>
