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!

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.”

Suit of Lights celebrate the release of their new album Bacteria (featuring Trevor Dunn on Bass duties)on Saturday August 15 atLouise & Jerry’s.
Stubbadub has a copy of the album to give away closer to launch date so keep an eye on the site for more info.
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.
Can’t wait for this one.
Trevor discusses his band Mad Love and the problems associated with being the leader of a band. Very cool interview, check it out:
Cheers to KittySpit for the heads up
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.
The Tour Dates:
29 Apr 2009 – Kung Fu Necktie, Philadelphia, PA
30 Apr 2009 – Asbury Lanes, Asbury Park, NJ
02 May 2009 – Union Pool, Brooklyn, NY
Also I know it’s been there for a while, but check out Trev’s latest update on his website. Definitely worth a read.

Thanks to AJBlake for the tip.
The follow up from trio Patton, Dunn, Baron’s Six Litanies for Heliogabalus, “The Crucible” will be released shortly on Tzadik.
Official Tzadik Announcement:
“The legendary Moonchild trio returns for another intense journey into the worlds of magic, alchemy and witchcraft. Following one of Zorn’s true masterpieces Six Litanies for Heliogabalus, this fourth volume streamlines and simplifies the music with new melodic elements bringing Zorn’s sax and the lyricism of Masada into the power and structural complexity of the patented Moonchild sound.
With Patton using his prodigious voice to sing melodies in addition to his preverbal screams and howls, The Crucible is another bold step from mad alchemist John Zorn. Including special guest guitarist Marc Ribot on one Led Zeppelin influenced track, this is a rocking new installment to the Moonchild-Astronome-Heliogabalus legacy.”
Trevor Dunn along with Testament‘s Alex Skolnick have guested on Terror Syndrome’s new track “Rusty Trombone” which has recently been uploaded to their myspace.
“Alex Skolnick and Trevor Dunn are unfuckingbelievable on this song. Trevor’s Bass playing is exactly what I pictured it to be… ultra creative, tasteful and plainly awesome!!!! This song was written with Trevor in mind. He informed me that he used his Alembic 5 String Bass from his Mr. Bungle days when he recorded his part, which I thought was pretty fucking cool.”
