King Buzzo (Melvins) & Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle) tour

Melvins’ King Buzzo and Mr. Bungle’s Trevor Dunn will join forces this summer for the ‘King Dunn Tour,’ which kicks off on August 1st in Pioneertown, California. J.D. Pinkus (Butthole Surfers/Melvins) opens on all dates — see all shows below.

“I’ve been waiting a LONG time to do an acoustic tour with Trevor,” Buzz Osborne comments. “He’s a fantastic player, and has the ability to make his bass sound like an oil tanker crashing into a coral reef.”

Collaborators on multiple occasions, Osborne and Dunn have a history of working together, such as Dunn’s involvement in King Buzzo’s 2020 album, ‘Gift of Sacrifice,’ and their shared membership in Fantômas. Additionally, Dunn has contributed to Melvins Lite.

On their upcoming tour together, Dunn will showcase his skills on a stand-up concert bass, while Osborne will take on vocal and acoustic guitar duties.
