Quote from: Metalhead CowI don't really care. :P

You really should. Mike Kunka playes a fine bass and has had quite a few interesting band. I think this collaboration could be MASSIVE.

Does anybody know what happened to to the 3 men and a baby CD which was meant to come out on Subpop I think? Just curious.

I thought that there was a point when buzz wanted mike kunka to permanantly play bass for the melvins and offered to change the band name to mike and the melvins, or was he just trying to do a project with him for one record, or did mike agree on doing just one record. Mikes project with smoke and smoke is absolutely great though, very neat

the only mike kunka project i've heard material from was dead low tide.  why were so many of mike kunka's bands short-lived?  no offense...
