Guesting on tour for Bungle are Jeff Atridge playing keyboards and William Winant playing percussion.

Also there is lots of new merchandise being sold on the tour. Mr. Bungle are currently yearning a Roland DJ 70 Mark 2 (with SCSI port) 32MB RAM. It's an old piece of hardware which may not be that easy to find - especially in big stores. Probably at pawn shops. In tech time today, and SCSI port is outdated. But this sampler is needed, so if you got one e-mail Pick-A-Winner Management. If I were you check Bungle Fever for the news until I return. Heather's redesigned site looks fabulous.
