Mr. Bungle

Mike Patton is a man of many voices. He is perhaps as well-known for his wails in Faith No More -- who will be playing Coachella on April 17 and the New York's Williamsburg Waterfront on July 5 -- as he is for projects like Mr. Bungle and Tomahawk, which are so delightfully far in left field that they hang out in the bleachers...

I usually go to four or five shows a week. It's how I discover many of my favorite bands and meet lifelong friends. Sometimes I see bands that are less than stimulating. Sometimes I see bands that are great. But, it's not so often that I see a band that makes me want to start a fan club for them...

The stories about Faith No More frontman Mike Patton's onstage and offstage antics are the thing of legend. Of course, there was the L7 tampon incident, the urine he drank from a woman's pump and those tales of feces-covered paper towels being stuffed into hotel blow dryers...

Entering into the first week of September, Noisecreep starts the month off with some amazing releases and notable debuts on the charts from the week prior. Reported by the good folks at Metal Insider, the projected 10-15,000 units sold was damn near spot on with Victory's Otep pulling in the highest debut, with 10,400 albums sold...

Trevor Dunn has always been a bass player to count on. He always does his job, and he changes the game when it fits. This goes for the actual bands he's been, in like Mr. Bungle, and when he's a hired bassist like on the recent Melvins' anniversary tour...
