"LORI WAS A REALLY SOLID BASS PLAYER, SHE HAD REALLY GOOD METER..."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on Lori Black, a.k.a., "Lorax," the MELVINS second bassist who joined the band when they relocated to San Francisco, CA. She also played bass in hardcore punk band CLOWN ALLEY with Mark Deutrom (another former MELVINS bassist).
""Lori was a really solid bass player," said Crover. "She had really good meter and would bust me for speeding up, which helped me become a more solid player. I really liked her. She was really into spirituality and things like that. She really had a tough time because she assumed people wouldn’t accept her being in the band. One, being a female, and two, replacing Matt Lukin" [the popular bassist who later joined MUDHONEY]. “We’d kicked out Lori before [1992] because she had a whole bunch of troubles,” said Osborne."
-- THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, "Shirley Temple’s Grunge Connection, As Remembered by the MELVINS’ Buzz Osborne," by Tim Appelo, February 2014
