Sludge rock legends the Melvins teamed up with vocalist Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes to record a cover of “Rebel Girl,” from Bikini Kill’s 1993 album, Pussy Whipped. The track comes from the Joyful Noise “Almost Live” series, which features limited edition singles recorded at their Indianapolis-based performance space.
“Each release in the series is cut on the spot using a 1940s record lathe,” says the Joyful Noise YouTube page, “and is limited to just 100 copies on hand-made 7″ records with screen-printed jackets.” This release is already sold out (of course), but you can watch the recording process below.
This summer the Melvins did a split release with Le Bucherettes titled Chaos as Usual (hear “Captain Comedown” here), and was only available on their tour which ended in July.
