Biography

Roger "Buzz" Osborne (born 1964), also known as King Buzzo, is the guitarist/vocalist/songwriter and technically the only remaining founding member of the Melvins. He is characterised by his large frizzy afro-like hair. (Drummer Dale Crover is often regarded as a founding member, but he joined after the band was formed, though before they had yet recorded an album.) Buzz Osborne is also a founding member/guitarist for both Fantômas and Venomous Concept. He was also a high school friend of Kurt Cobain and the bassist for Cobain's first band, Fecal Matter, in 1986.
