How about you? Any luck? Not sure if anyone noticed but they added extra nights to all three cities (and they all sold out too of course).

Nope, were they ever this popular back in the day?

That Dead Cross album from a years back totally slays.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
I caught them on tour for that album and it was such a fun show. Mike and Dave were having a ball, the whole band seemed to be. I have video of Dave's toddler niece going up on stage - with major hearing protection on, of course - and rocking out with the band for a bit.
Another of your Muppet heroes Richard?
The days of getting gouged to see someone is long gone. I'm sure it would have been a fun gig.
This was pretty hip. This fuckin guy can play. I also checked out a portion of Don Cab 2 - interesting stuff.

^The one time I saw Don Cab, Che was belligerent and rather a bit of a dick. I think he might’ve been drunk, too.
The show was good, though.

He always was. Saw them three times. Best drunk drummer ever!
This is actually apparently true. When Mike Banfield (second/non-tapping guitarist) quit Don Cab before the American Don album, he gave an interview (MOJO, I think?) where the subject came to the fore as one reason for his leaving. From what I understand, it basically started with Damon Che suffering from severe stagefright but realizing while drinking at rehearsals that he could block out all externals and still perform gracefully when taking in alcohol continuously - so he did accordingly during gigs.
There was also a debacle concerning this when the band finally broke up, Ian Williams (first guitarist) moving on to Battles and Che himself having played in Bellini, an international math-rock "supergroup". Most of his collaborators seemed to opin that Che may have been a better drummer by drink, but an equally worse person from it.
Arh, glorious freaks like Baker, Moon and Wyatt were stage-drunks as well.

Excellent! Great interview too.

Seemed like a no-brainer for me. I went with the t-shirt and single combo.

That's some sweet merch

"New" Bungle album? Looks like that to me.

Not sure I'm going to like this, it's not really the Bungle stuff I love.

I am going to imagine that these limited LPs will be worth boatloads at places like Discogs when they (inevitably) sell out. I may pick one up and not open up, possibly forever. You get the download code so you can still spin 'er on the home hifi. I agree Ian - although I am a fan of extreme/death metal, I am sure the older Bungle albums align better with my tastes, but maybe this album will change my mind. Hearing it recorded via an iPhone on YT doesn't do the material any justice.

Pre-ordered the yearbook CD edition.

Got the Red vinyl. The black splatter is already sold out...I can surmise that the vinyl LP's will sell out in a matter of days/hours.

Bungle fans are hardcore in their utter devotion to those lunatics.
