Mr. Bungle "The Night They Came Home" Virtual Live Concert Experience arrives June 11th! Pick up the Blu-Ray+CD, DVD+CD, VHS and digital at http://lnk.to/MBLive
Trevor Dunn says of the track, " 'Eracist' is a unique song in the Raging Wrath book. There was no initial demo, only a 'moshy' riff that Patton had come up with in the '80s, that somehow Trey remembered. Once that was unearthed Patton completed the tune with a double-time bridge and some lyrics about erasure and denial. It sees to me that it somehow feels contemporary while fitting in with our teenage songwriting style. I guess that's because it was written over a span of 35 years! You may notice that it's one of the only songs on the 'demo' that actually has a vocal melody. Back in the '80s we were mostly thinking about drums & guitar, which of course, is really all that metal is about."
About Mr. Bungle: Mr. Bungle was formed in an impoverished lumber and fishing town by a trio of curious, volatile teenagers. Trey Spruance, Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn beget the amorphous “band” in 1985 up in Humboldt County, Calif., sifting through a variety of members until around 1989 when they settled on a lineup that managed to get signed to Warner Bros. Records. No one really knows how this happened and it remains a complete mystery that even the algorithms of the internet can’t decode. Up until 2000 they released three albums (Mr. Bungle in 1991, Disco Volante in 1995 and California in 1999), toured a good portion of the Western hemisphere and avoided any sort of critical acclaim. Some argue that the band subsequently broke up but there is also no proof of this. What is true is that they took 20 years off from performing under said moniker while they pursued various other musics that, in contrast, paid the rent.
