The Melvins, who wrapped up their latest European tour over the weekend, debut a video for “Hideous Woman” (https://youtu.be/UGhK4m-frkQ) from their recently released album, Basses Loaded (Ipecac Recordings).

Pinkus, Big Business’ Jared Warren, Mr. Bungle/Fantomas’ Trevor Dunn (aka Melvins Lite) and Melvins’ drummer Dale Crover swapping the drum kit for bass in the Melvins 1983 iteration.
