Band biography
Mr. Bungle photo
The American band Mr. Bungle was formed in Eureka, California, in 1985 by Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn after they had been kicked out of their high school band Turd. The band took its name from two short films which appeared in early episodes of the "The Pee Wee Herman Show," in which an ill-mannered, un-hygienic puppet clown demonstrated how good grade-school kids should not behave (only later did band members learn, through Faith No More bassist Bill Gould, that the porn flick "Sharon's Sex Party" also stars a character named Mr. Bungle). At first they were playing hardcore and death metal but eventually they began experimenting a lot with different elements and step by step turned into an avant-garde / fusion metal act. In May 2003 frontman Mike Patton announced that Mr. Bungle was probably over as the members were spread all over the world and didn't talk to each other. Instead he planned to concentrate on his other projects Tomahawk and Fantômas.
