Seeing as it’s a Faith No More-fest in Australia at the moment, it seems like a good time to take a trip down memory lane and check out a Recovery interview with Mike Patton and Roddy Bottum when they were last in town, in 1997.

Bonus vid. Bungle Recovery interview in ’96
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 hopefully everyone that reads here has seen this but I thought I’d mention it. I just remembered it existed the other day and thought I’d post it just in case someone hasn’t seen it. Download the original video of Lunchroom Manners which features in Mr Bungle’s Self Titled album.

(TIP: It’s not great)
Aural Exploits has a limited edition (1000), green vinyl version of Mr Bungle’s Disco Volante available with the 7?. http://www.auralexploits.com/product_5994.htm
I need a new record player, anyone got any suggestions? (preferrably in australia)
The artwork for the upcoming Umlaut debut album, due to hit aussie stores February 14 and worldwide in March. Yay!
Now that the Disco Volante vinyl re-release has almost seen the light of day (fingers crossed), it looks like the Mr Bungle self titled album is next. Release date TBD.
Thanks to Fantomnomore for the news tip.
How odd…..some Mr Bungle news? Mr. Bungle’s Disco Volante is being reissued by Plain Recordings around July or August this year along with the original 7 incher accompaniment.
