The latest issue of Rock-a-rolla magazine has a new interview with Trevor Dunn talking to him about his latest band Madlove. They posted a snippet of the article on their home page which paints a rather dire picture regarding any hopes of a Bungle reunion ever happening:
“Faith No More have done it, but those expecting a Mr. Bungle reunion shouldn’t hold their breath – unless, of course, they can hold it for a really, really long time. “I don’t think it’s gonna happen unfortunately” bassist Trevor Dunn told Rock-A-Rolla. “I mean, I say unfortunately on behalf of people who want it to happen – I actually don’t want it to happen.” Dunn, who recently released the debut album with his brand new band MadLove, talked to us about his current projects and the joys of playing “traditional rock music”. Check out the full interview in the latest issue of Rock-A-Rolla Magazine, out now.”
Although Trevor does not seem interested in a Bungle reunion, Bar and Danny have both expressed interest in working with the bungle guys again one day, so anything is possible.
Check out the latest issue of rock-a-rolla for the whole article plus interviews with Jello Biafra and Chuck Mosley.
So I totally forgot to mention Trevor Dunn’s latest venture, MadLove’s new album White with Foam has hit the streets! Mine is still in the mail so I haven’t managed to hear it yet, but from all accounts it’s great. The album launch is on the 16th of September @ Southpaw, Brooklyn, NY so get on down there if you’re local.
Rumour has it (and according to La Tercera), the support role for Faith No More’s Chile show (29 October) is going to be either The Melvins or Trevor Dunn’s new band MadLove. Why not add them both and make it the Geek Show 2.0? Either way that’s going to be a nice line up for those lucky Chileans!
So the day is fast approaching for Trevor Dunn’s new rock outfit “Madlove” to release their debut album. The date? According to Ipecac it will be available on September 1st.
The tracklist for “White with Foam” is:
1. Rats With Wings
2. Thread
3. Absence & Noise
4. Dirty
5. In Love (In Theory)
6. As Sad As It Was Beautiful
7. Broke
8. Left With Nothing
9. Knowing
10. The Mute Number
11. Art Of Denial
12. All The Nerve Endings
Holy Crap! How did I miss this? Just released on Tzadik is the follow up to 2008’s “The Dreamers“ simply titled O’o and it features our good buddy Trevor Dunn on bass!
“Named for an extinct Hawaiian bird whose delightful song will sadly never be sung again, O’o is the exotic follow up to The Dreamers, one of Zorn’s most popular and appealing musical projects. Featuring the same dynamic band of masters from Zorn’s inner circle, O’o presents twelve more lyrical and adventurous instrumentals combining world music, surf, exotica, soundtracks, easy listening, minimalism and more into a fabulous and exciting new music. Beautifully packaged in original artwork by Chippy, this is charming and adventurous music passionately performed by a downtown super group.”
Featuring:
Cyro Baptista: Percussion
Joey Baron: Drums
Trevor Dunn: Bass
Marc Ribot: Guitar
Jamie Saft: Piano, Organ
Kenny Wollesen: Vibraphone
After being tantalized with glimpses of footage of Trevor Dunn’s baby Mad Love from their brief live stint, word from the man is that their debut album will be released around September on Ipecac Recordings.
Trevor Dunn’s band Mad Love featuring Sunny Kim (vocals), Trevor Dunn (bass, vocals), Ches Smith (drums), Hilmar Jensson (guitar), Erik Deutsch (keyboards) have completed their debut album, titled White With Foam (to be released soon on Ipecac), and are also preparing for (literally) a few U.S shows.
Trevor describes the album as “one of the straighter, more commercial things that has ever been associated with Ipecac and therefore may not appeal to the label’s usual clientele”. Read more about Mad Love in Trevor’s latest Mad Love blog.
