Mr. Bungle- Quote Unquote

Have a lump of the Bungle.

Extremely rare promotional video for "Travolta" (aka Quote Unquote)from the first album.

"Stage Antics

More so than other Mike Patton related projects, Mr. Bungle was known for their terrifying stage shows, where Patton would wear a gimp mask and Trevor Dunn would donn a blue dress and pigtails while headbanging maniacally. The presentation of the band on stage has sometimes been close to a realization of Antonin Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty in the musical domain. This was particularly felt at the live shows during the "Disco Volante" era. The shows for the "California" tours, while still involving various members wearing masks and dressing up, were no longer showing evidence of Artaud's influence."
