bungle and melvins???? fuck me

Very cool.  My brother and I saw Mr. Bungle w/ Melvins in LA in February of 2020, right before Covid came around.  Good times were had.

 

 

Who the fuck is that?

 

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.

Big fan of their  "Mr Bungle" album... saw them for NYE in '91 at the Kennel Club in Sf and had an absolute blast, so when they announced a Warfield show in Feb 2020 we were pretty stoked.  They advertised it as a mix of a pre-Bungle very obscure album along with Mr Bungle songs, but they didn't actually play any Bungle songs, only a bunch of thrash metal along with the obscure album.  I left feeling bait-n-switched, so I'm not committing to this until I see a setlist.

"the [Mr Bungle] album mixes a variety of musical styles, including ska, circus music, heavy metal, free jazz, and funk."

well yea they do all kinds of stuff, but in general, if you dont like metal, or at least loud noisy music at all youre most likely not gonna like much from them aside from california, and all those other styles of music are more or less suspended within a framework of experimental metal.
