Buzz Osborne shares how to route a Melvins tour in an interview with Billboard's 'Behind the Setlist' podcast.

Melvins launched a warm-up tour for its run with Napalm Death by playing California cities such as Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo and Pioneertown — places that may not fit neatly into a traditional A-market strategy, but make sense for bands willing to follow Osborne’s lead.
