#359: Mr. Bungle's Trevor Dunn

Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn is our guest this week! We discuss
the origins of Mr. Bungle while the guys were still in high school,
why he felt that he and his friends gravitated towards metal in
those years, and his ongoing drive to write music that sounds new
and original to him. In light of the band's plans to release a
re-recording of their early demo, The Raging Wrath Of The Easter
Bunny, Trevor discusses how that project came together, if he would
want to revisit any of the other three demos Mr. Bungle put out,
and the chances of releasing all the B-side songs from the band's
Warner Brothers catalog. He also talks about his collaborations
with avant garde icon John Zorn through the years, being surrounded
by musicians that are workaholics, and the chances of fans hearing
all new material from Mr. Bungle or two of his other projects,
Fantomas and Tomahawk. Petar, Brandon, Jozalyn, and Sylvia discuss
the death of Eddie Van Halen and how his music impacted our lives,
and Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher's stark disclosures of the
financial realities for musicians in our genre, even "successful"
ones. Songs: Van Halen - "Judgement Day" and "Eracist," Mr. Bungle
- "Raping Your Mind" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
