Ipecac has also announced the forthcoming Melvins-Lite album 'Freak Puke' scheduled to be released on June 5. Melvins-Lite is Buzz and Dale along with the great Trevor Dunn. (Have no fear, this collaboration does not spell the demise of the Melvins/Big Biz alliance) There will be a Melvins-Lite tour later on this year.

“The Melvins have a long history of mixing up our line-ups and I think that’s what has kept us relevant for so long. Consider the Freak Puke record the fifth side of the four-sided Melvins‘ triangle.” - Buzz
