40th anniversary tour

[amazonAMAZON]

Bungle played pretty much the whole Raging Wrath/Night They Came Home set but in the encore the also busted out that rearranged rendition of "My Ass Is On Fire" they used to do. Obliterated!

[black stallion]

They also played a tune from Bad Mood Rising I've never seen in a setlist, forget which one. The Rolling Stones type one with the cowbell groove where he says "bad idea"

Hammering

how the hell could this lineup not sell out a place in the LA area (if that's the case)? what is this world coming to? 

[Nizamark]

pomona is technically the "LA area" but it's also kinda the boonies.  it's a college town, but i'm guessing not a lot of college kids in 2023 are listening to bungle or melvins.

curious about tonight in hollywood.  the palladium is a really big room, like 4,000 capacity.  seems a bit ambitious.  when i saw bungle in LA in 2020 they sold out the fonda theater, but that's only like 1,200 people.

Zodiac back in the setlist too

Wow! That is a bit surprising. Or at least probably as surprising as it's going to get.

their IG story has plenty of clips from last night ... and so far doesn't seem like they've modified their set too much.

anyone that went to Poloma show think earplugs are necessary? Are they going full blast for this geek tour? I'm assuming yes (Obv depends on the venue- Last Melvins show at the Hawthorne, didn't need em wasn't as cranked)

anyone get any pics of the merch area? kinda anxious to see what kind of geek tour offerings they'll have available ..

[amazonAMAZON]

It's loud. I wore basic foam ear plugs and I'm so glad I did. No tinnitus today.

When they did the Fonda theatre in 2020 they did two nights. But yeah, that was before fans knew what they were actually doing. You could see even a few people last night who came expecting Egg and Travolta and their girlfriends made them leave early when it was all thrash metal.

oh yeah.  that's true.

still, filling the palladium seems like a stretch.  anyway if it's not sold out, as a fan i'll be happy. it's a much less annoying venue when it's not packed

Absolutely bring earplugs.
Merchandise wise, they had $30 letterpress cds, cheapy cds, devil head shirts.

well, it's Pomona. Unless you're living in the near vicinity, it's probably easier just to go to the palladium show.

I feel kinda silly asking about plugs, I knew the answer  *sigh*  I'm feeling old haha

[von grip]

Either way lol I'm psyched for this tour

It's probably all the Bungle fans, is there a message board somewhere for them?
