About
Mr. Bungle on Tour
Inventive and experimental rock band Mr. Bungle's avant-garde style includes a unique blend of of instrumentation and genres that can include ska, death metal, jazz, lounge, pop, Middle Eastern, surf and funk, and more. Mr. Bungle's hybrid sound invites listeners on a sonic rollercoaster ride, hopping from genre to genre. This unique sound has amassed them a global cult following.
They released their first studio album, Mr. Bungle, after signing with Warner Bros in 1991. Their next album, Disco Volante, was released in 1995, followed by California in 1999. The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo was released as a full-length album in 2020.
With their genre-defying, sonic experimentation, there's never a dull moment at a Mr. Bungle concert.
Mr. Bungle Live in Concert
Having reunited in 2020, Mr. Bungle's lineup includes Mike Patton (lead vocals), Trey Spruance (lead guitar), Trevor Dunn (bass), Dave Lombardo (drums), and Scott Ian (rhythm guitar). Ian was a member of the pioneering thrash metal band Anthrax, and Lombardo was Slayer's former drummer and has worked with hardcore punk groups like the Suicidal Tendencies and Dead Cross. Patton and Spruance are original members of Mr. Bungle.
Originally formed in Eureka, California, by high school buddies, the first iteration of Mr. Bungle consisted of Dunn, Danny Heifetz (drums), Theo Lengyel (alto saxophone), Clinton McKinnon (tenor saxophone), Patton, and Spruance. The band's name comes from a '60s children's educational film that was later featured in Pee-wee Herman's first HBO special. Mr. Bungle reformed in 2020 for what was supposed to be three shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Brooklyn. The plan was to perform their 1986 demo -- The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo -- in its entirety, but demand for tickets was so high that additional nights were added, and the spark to tour was ignited.
Mr. Bungle's unique sound has influenced legendary artists like Korn, System of a Down, Incubus, and Uncle Kracker.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Patton Is God
by Ben D. on 5/17/23House of Blues Las Vegas - Las VegasI'm a Mike Patton fanboy, so my review is biased at best... On top of that, I'm an old school metalhead. To see Patton, Trey & Trevor with Dave Lombardo AND Scott Ian? I'm in hogs*** heaven. Additionally, Melvins & Spotlights just absolutely laid waste to the crowd. Amazing sets by all. My only wish is that Mr. Bungle would come back again and play some of the classic era as opposed to just the 1st demo. Regardless, the show was amazing and I would go back in a heartbeat. Maybe, come to a larger venue as HOB couldn't handle the crowd...
Rating: 5 out of 5 Top 3 best shows ever!
by Banger Lo Truglio on 5/17/23House of Blues Las Vegas - Las VegasThe most unbelievable show ever! Super powered music to the soul. Melvins were epic, of course. Heavy and fulfilling. And Mr. Bungle was the most insane thrash metal show you can imagine. I won't forget this show for a long long time. I want to go again. I would go every night for 2 weeks if I could. It would be the happiest 2 weeks I could imagine.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Mr. Bungle did not disappoint
by Doran on 5/14/23Hollywood Palladium - HollywoodMr. Bungle came out strong without mercy. They basically played material from their new album (which is amazing) and a couple of covers. Also, Scott Ian can still make a guitar catch fire.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Metal Loving Yogi NOT disappointed
by Tammy Ocean on 5/14/23Hollywood Palladium - HollywoodThis was a fantastic show. Not only because my buddy from back in college was drumming on stage, but because the entire evening seemed to share some unity- the synchronization of amazing acts Spotlights, Melvins, and Bungle- and the venue was clean and easy. I even saw some folks standing outside on an upper deck and I figured it was a VIP section⌠later came to find it was an awesome outdoor smoking area with a bar that I could actually still watch the show from an open door!! My seats felt like I was backstage with the bands and I literally was close enough to call out to my friend and be heard. I could even perform some impromptu yoga on some plushy black couches while in line for merch. What good energy! I was asked for my business card and treated like a VIP from the lovely staff near my seats. Long live heavy metal! tammyoceanyoga on IG
