A concert that promises to be a sensory trip with its mixture of jazzcore, surf distorted rock and opeistic passages, all seasoned with the unpredictable charism of Mike Patton.
Brief Biography of Mr. Bungle
Born in 1985 in Eureka, Californiaas a project of teenagers obsessed with Frank Zappa and cinema B, Mr. Bungle consolidated himself as a Sound social experiment. The original trio –Mike Patton (vocalist of Faith no More), Trey Spruance (guitar) and Trevor Dunn (bass)-created an anti-gender manifesto where the Death Metal collided with TV commercial samples and Caribbean rhythms.
Your first homonymous album (Mr. Bungle1991), recorded after being discovered by John Zorn and signed by Warner Bros.it was an acid smoke bomb: songs like Travolta o Squeeze Me Macaroni They mixed Grindcore with Lounge Music, challenging all commercial logic.
In Flying disc (1995) brought experiments to the extreme: of the free jazz in Carry Stress in the Jaw to the nuclear pseudo-flamenco of Desert Search for Techno Allah. To California (1999), their most mature work, incorporated theremines and surf-pop melodies distorted, as in Retrovertigosong that became generational anthem.
Hiatus and resurrection: 20 years of myth
After dissolving in 2000 – without formal ads, only an eloquent silence – the members dedicated themselves to parallel projects (Tomahawk, Fantômas, Secret Chiefs 3). But in 2020with an enlarged formation that included the legendary drummer Dave Lombardo (Slayer) y Scott Ian (Anthrax guitar), resurrected to record The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunnya reworking of its 1986 demo.
The album, a raw thrash metal without concessions, showed that its transgressive spirit remained intact. The subsequent tour and the live album The Night They Came Home (2023) They were reconnected with a new generation of fans, eager for their theatricality on stage.
Chile: The epicenter of his return
The concert at the Movistar Arena will not only be a recital: it is the Consecration of an underground cult. With a setlist that promises to review its 90’s trilogy and themes of its new era, the band has confirmed that it will include exclusive improvisations for the Chilean audience.
“In South America they understood from the beginning that our music is not a genre, it is a mental state”Trevor Dunn declared Rolling Stone Chile. It is no accident that its last live DVD be recorded in Buenos Aires during the 2023 tour.
