Sludge? Punk? Grunge? Nah.

Buzz Osbourne’s band of confounding rockers have finally hit their 30th birthday, and in celebration have announced an extensive tour of the USA. They’ve never been known to slouch and hold the Guinness World Record for the fastest ever US tour, but this tour’s a little less ambitious, with a comparatively modest selection of dates.

The Ipecac mainstays have been busy already this year, having completed work on an album comprised entirely of covers, entitled Everybody Loves Sausages. The album is made up of straight-faced covers of Queen, David Bowie, The Kinks and Throbbing Gristle and you can stream the whole thing over at Spin. [via Antiquiet]
