Sieg Howdy! (2005) |
A Live History of Gluttony and Lust (2006) |
Sieg Howdy! is the second album by Jello Biafra and The Melvins, often cited as "Jelvins". It consists of songs recorded during the same sessions that produced their first collaboration Never Breathe What You Can't See but not used on that album, plus remixes of four songs from the first album. The opening track, a cover of the Alice Cooper classic "Halo Of Flies", has special significance for Biafra and The Melvins, as Biafra had heard The Melvins cover it when he first witnessed the group perform live.
Also featured on the album is an updated version of "California Über Alles" with new lyrics by Biafra about the recall campaign that placed Arnold Schwarzenegger in the California governor's office, recorded at Neumos on 30 December 2004.[1] Notably "Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything)" would be a song where Biafra openly criticizes his former Dead Kennedys bandmates.
The remix of "Enchanted Thoughtfist" is notable as it is the first time Biafra and his fellow co-conspirator in Lard, Al Jourgensen of Ministry, have collaborated on a recording since the sessions for Pure Chewing Satisfaction and 70's Rock Must Die. Dälek and The Deaf Nephews provide the other remixes on the record.
Sieg Howdy! would be initially released via Alternative Tentacles circa September 2005 on CD and an LP & 7" set, splitting the last track into two parts on the 7".Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[2][3]
