I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Wonder what this means.
My understanding is that Mike Patton and Trey Spruance made up a while ago, and are on good terms now. But Trevor Dunn, who's been building a busy career as a first call jazz/avant bassist in NYC for quite a few years, doesn't want to live in the past and absolutely won't do it; I think he may have also had a falling out with Spruance. And those three guys are essential; they wrote almost all of the material, and without them it isn't really Mr. Bungle. Any of Bar McKinnon, Theo Lengyel, and Danny Heifetz would be good, but they're not quite as important.
According to this Trevor is on board -

^Oh man, that is excellent news.
Let’s hope this thing gets recorded and filmed.

I dunno. I sorta felt that they'd already said what they had to say - and that was interesting but somewhat conclusive.

But I don't think Easter Bunny was ever properly said. There is good music in there, and I think it is still music that deserves to be heard by new ears in a new light in 2020.Originally Posted by Scrotum Scissor
Plus it's difficult for me to imagine that Spruance and Dunn would be content to simply revisit without revision. (Patton may have proved otherwise with the FNM reunion which, while highly enjoyable, didn't improve upon or alter the past--though the new album is excellent.)

I agree, but then again these guys have so much going and indeed also evolving for them. There shouldn't even be a need for turning back and least of all without revision. Of course this is probably all about exactly that - revision. I hope.

Nice!

Cool. Probably won't be coming near me, but I'm glad the band is back together.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
I am definitely in, all things being still equal in Feb 2020.
Lombardo on drums??!
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
It will probably be expensive but I'm tempted to head down to NYC.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I'm tempted to head UP to NYC. Threw the possibility by Charlie (friend/big fan) to see if he's game for a roadtrip.

Guess I'll have to wait for a video of the shows.
I think I made it through the album once a long time ago, it was such a horrible sounding copy of a copy of a...
What's funny is I was just looking at a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder on Reverb about 10 minutes before I read this thread. Still had the tab open, but now it's closed. For good.
Lombardo is a beast. Portnoy would have been a better choice but whatever. I'm sad this isn't coming to Ohio.
The Prog Corner
Lombardo has been playing with Patton for a while in various bands. He also has been part of several Zorn/Masada endeavors with Secret Chiefs 3. So he's part of the family already, as well as being in Slayer which inspired early Bungle.

Sounds logical, Portnoy is rarely the better choice.

I was kinda hoping the whole Portnoy suggestion was a joke.

Presale tix for Brooklyn long gone yesterday. Hoping I can score a pair today, although it's AXS handling the tickets and they give me hives.
Understood on the points above regarding the point to it all (revision vs. repeat). This is one where I'm OK admitting it's just because I'd love to see them regardless.

Sure you can pick it up at 3x the price from the scalpers.
