Biography

Dunn started to play of low as a teenager. With the college, Dunn formed Mr. Bungle with the singer Mike Patton and the guitarist Trey Spruance. The beginnings of Mr. Bungle mixed the Thrash metal, the Hard rock, and the Funk with vulgarity and humor suitable for adolescence. With influences metal, Dunn extended its musical abilities by playing of the jazz around San Francisco all while being integrated in various musical genres. Its Flying technique on Disco music , the second album of Mr. Bungle illustrates his maturity as a musician while the compositions change style musical several times within the same song.

Like the other members of Mr. Bungle, Trevor Dunn is very discrete on the reasons of the rupture of the group in 2000. Moreover, Dunn even avoids speaking about Mr. Bungle in general, although he states to have enough information to write a book in connection with the group (and of new songs to make an album enough to accompany the book). At the beginning, he declared that he was going to leave a book, but one knows few things about the continuation of this project. Dunn acknowledges: " This idea of book is Far from being a reality. It is right a vague idea in my spirit for the moment, and that includes demonstrations, repeat, of the telephone hoaxes, the photographs that one used forever, etc the quantity of material which was not used or was heard and which I accumulated during the years are more or less incredible. Believe, that will not arrive me before a good end of temps."

It is now in the groups Fantômas and Trevor Dunn' S Trio-convulsant (its own group). These groups have both of the contracts with the label of Mike Patton: Ipecac Recordings .
