Mr. Bungle is an American experimental/avant-garde rock band fronted by Mike Patton. They released three widely discussed studio albums: Mr. Bungle (1991), Disco Volante (1995) and California (1999).

Fronted by Mike Patton, with longtime collaborator Trevor Dunn; early work involved producer John Zorn (credited in reviews). The band is noted for genre-blending "crossover" approaches and for three studio albums frequently cited in reviews: Mr. Bungle, Disco Volante and California.

DeBaser reviews praise Mr. Bungle's adventurous crossover approach across three studio albums. Critics highlight Mike Patton's vocal versatility and the band's genre-bending compositions. Disco Volante is often described as the most kaleidoscopic and experimental; California as melodic yet eccentric; the 1991 self-titled debut as accessible and seminal.

For:Listeners of experimental, avant-garde and crossover rock; fans of Mike Patton and genre-defying music

 The praise of the absurd, the triumph of nonsense, twenty-five years after “Trout Mask Replica” the miracle repeats itself.
