What a great read and so comprehensive, too! Big fan of these guys ever since my best friend introduced me to their debut album in the early '90s.

I got to see them when they first rolled through Toronto in support of CALIFORNIA and they did not disappoint.

Great article Aaron! Saw them four times here in Australia. 2 shows DV tour & 2 for California. Wanted to ask if you have a spare DV sticker from the $2 scam offer? I am missing one - pink one with front cover image.

Wow, this was epic, Aaron! Saw Mr. Bungle at the 9:30 Club in 1992. Was totally obsessed with the debut album and Lynch's Blue Velvet yet Patton's bondage mask was still shocking. I remember reading a FNM interview in NME that summer that Epic didn't catch on until after FNM had already released the record and toured the US and then they had to basically do it all over again. I always wondered if that bizarre hood and coveralls combo was a form of penance for the excess of those FNM tours.
