King Buzzo @ Visulite

It's as good as a Melvin's show, so I'll take King Buzzo on his solo acoustic tour coming to Charlotte.

Who knew what to expect here?  The Melvins have such a unique sound that I wonder if he is going to try and replicate it, or show us something completely new.  Turns out - a bit of both.  Buzzo has a solo record which he plays mostly off, but throws in some Melvins as well.  Lizzy was the favorite of the night (from Houdini).  Overall a captivating show without knowing many songs.  The normally quiet Osbourne was very chatty with this intimate crowd.  Told some great road stories about being with the Melvins, how different towns react, meeting and working with Mike Patton and generally some one on one with this small crowd.

My love of the uniqueness of the Melvins is well known.  This show just gives another aspect of their lead singer.  A musician, artist and, now, storyteller.  I'm glad I decided to go to this at the last minute.  I know a majority of music fans were at the PNC Pavillion tonight seeing Kiss, but I saw as good as (if not better) show here at the Visulite.
