History
Mr.Bungle came into being in the town of Eureka, California in 1985. The first incarnation of the group featured bassist Trevor Dunn & vocalist Micheal Patton (formerly of Tural), guitarist Trey Spruance & drummer Jed Watts (from Scourge), and trumpet player Scoot Fritz. After Fritz left the band, Theo Lengyel & Clinton "Bar" McKinnon were recruited as new horn players. Jed Watts was also replaced.First, by Hans Wagner, and then by the current drummer Danny Heifetz. The name "Mr.Bungle" was taken from some short films which appeared on the "Pee Wee Herman Show" and starred the rather ill-manner, Un-hygenic Mr.Bungle, a puppet clown, as the model of what every grade-school kid shouldn't be.(only later did the band learn, through Faith No More bassist Bill Gould, that the porn flick "Sharon's Sex Party" featured a character named Mr.Bungle as well)
