Disco Volante (Italian for “flying saucer”) is a strange, contrarian document of a record, perhaps Mr. Bungle’s strangest, and that’s saying a lot, maybe more than you could imagine. With 12 challenging, occasionally revelatory songs clocking in at more than an hour, the LP is driven by wild percussive threads and an overarching sense of madness, and is big on cuts and editing. To be clear, though, Disco Volante ’s means of editing and undermining verse-chorus-verse conventions are nowhere near as pressurized as 1999’s California . Here, songs begin and end almost arbitrarily, with bizarre sound sequences appearing before, during and after key compositions. It’s not as fulfilling or sensical to listen to just one or two songs from the LP, or skip around outside the band’s predetermined sequencing. If you take it in from beginning to end, perhaps as intended, it’s a bizarre but oddly fulfilling trip.

And the compositions! The album opens with a grind and a roar: “Everyone I Went To High School With Is Dead,” which gives some indication of its ferociousness through its title. The band members speak-sing in deadpan unison, with Patton occasionally breaking into a scream or a roar, and Trevor Dunn unleashing the meanest, meatiest bass line on this side of the Melvins’ “Night Goat.” That composition also challenged those looking for the playfulness of Mr. Bungle , if nothing else. Then there’s “Sleep (Part II): Carry Stress in The Jaw,” a jazz workout, which begins with Dunn racing a blaring trumpet and unfurls into a nine-minute composition of alarming depth. It wraps up with a “secret song,” complete with faux-Grandpa Simpson voiceover, which sounds like Henry Mancini dropped too much acid while writing the Peter Gunn theme. “Mow Meeshka Mow Skwoz” is one of the band’s finest moments – on this or any record – and contains some Tex Avery-inspired sequences that border on the deliciously delirious.

As previously mentioned, the record has depth due partially to Patton’s vocal inventiveness. But that depth is also partially due to Danny Heifetz’s brilliant drum work. Heifetz darts between free-jazz stylings and hyper-precise death metal, sometimes at the drop of a hat. (The band makes great use of metal throughout; some of the record’s best moments are cranked up to 11.) And, freed up from the kind of cinematic editing and cut-heavy postmodern pastiche of California , here the band’s transitions are sudden and, yes, again, challenging – but often masterfully conducted.

Some 25 years later, a few songs on Disco Volante seem to act as precursors for what followed the band’s demise in the early 2000s. This is particularly true for “Desert Search for Techno Allah,” which revels in all the mid-90s house tropes you could imagine. But, beyond that, its fascination with Middle Eastern scales and Islamic mysticism portends the arrival of Trey Spruance’s Secret Chiefs 3, God bless ‘em.

Elsewhere, some songs (especially the collage-style trappings of “The Bends,” which calls for heavier editing) haven’t aged well. But that’s part of the charm of Disco Volante . The band, with Patton in the spotlight and the rest of Mr. Bungle reeling from the ska-, metal-, and funk-delirium of the self-titled outing, was being consciously difficult with its second Warner Bros. LP. It was a means to suggest that, if you couldn’t keep up with them, you might as well leave – one can think of no better means of getting an audience hungry to pay attention. If that’s not a beautiful, big middle finger to the strait-laced typicals out there, we don’t know what is.

Watch: MR. BUNGLE Kicks Off Summer 2023 U.S. Tour In Baltimore

MR. BUNGLE , which recently completed its first post-pandemic tour dates this past May as part of the Ipecac Recordings ' "Geek Show" , kicked off its summer U.S. tour last night (Tuesday, September 5) at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, Maryland. Fan-filmed video of the entire show — courtesy of the Jim Powers   YouTube channel — can be seen below.

MR. BUNGLE 's current dates, which mark the band's first shows on the East Coast (with the exception of New York City) in 23 years, find MR. BUNGLE once again featuring their "The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny" demo lineup: Mike Patton , Trevor Dunn , Trey Spruance , Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo .

MR. BUNGLE released "The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo" in 2020, an album that saw the Eureka, California-born band record songs from their 1986 cassette only demo. The collection's release was preceded by seven February 2020 shows (Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York). The newly revamped version of the seminal band sees Trevor Dunn , Mike Patton and Trey Spruance joined by Scott Ian ( ANTHRAX , S.O.D. ) and Dave Lombardo ( DEAD CROSS , ex- SLAYER , SUICIDAL TENDENCIES ). Rolling Stone dubbed the album "a feast of ingenious riffs… and pure manic energy," Stereogum said " MR. BUNGLE are reliving their very earliest days and kicking a whole lot of ass in the process," and Decibel declared it "one of the best thrash records of the year."

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, California, 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 music that, in contrast, paid the rent.

Kicking off our fall season properly! Tonight we welcome Mr. Bungle and only a handful of tickets remain, get on it! Posted by Rams Head Live on  Tuesday, September 5, 2023

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.
