King Dunn
King Buzzo, iconic founder and singer/guitarist of the Melvins, and Mr. Bungle bass player Trevor Dunn have teamed up as “King Dunn” for a two-month late-summer tour. Dunn is playing a stand-up concert bass, while King Buzzo is singing and playing an acoustic guitar. But don’t expect a laid-back evening. As King Buzzo said prior to the tour kicking off, Dunn “has the ability to make his bass sound like an oil tanker crashing into a coral reef.” Yeah, we’re definitely intrigued by this pairing. JD Pinkus, best known for his membership in Butthole Surfers and (natch) the Melvins, opens.
$32 ($29.50 adv.).
media release: The Melvins' Buzz Osborne had the unfortunate experience of releasing his sophomore solo album, Gift of Sacrifice, in the early days of the pandemic and of course, the ensuing tour was aborted. Now, with a fresh reissue of this "lost" album coupled with his 2014 solo debut, This Machine Kills Artists, Buzz hits the road, joined by his Fantômas bandmate, Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle).
