Yesterday (February 28th), Mr. Bungle played their first-ever show in Japan, bringing their thrash-tastic Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny tour to Toyosu PIT in Tokyo.
There, the stacked lineup of vocalist Mike Patton, guitarists Trey Spruance and Scott Ian, bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer Dave Lombardo tore through a head-spinning, neck-snapping 17-song set, opening with "Grizzly Adams" and closing with Sepultura's "Territory." In between, Melt Banana guitarist Agata joined them for the Circle Jerks' "World Up My Ass," and multihyphenate Makigami Koichi joined them for a vocal improvisation on "Methematics."
As for Bungle's usual revision of "Speak English or Die" into "Speak Spanish or Die," the politically incorrect crossover classic — by Ian's old band S.O.D. — became "Speak Japanese or Die" instead.
Photographer Sayla (follow her on Instagram or X) was in the house to catch all the unhinged action — check out some of her standout shots below.
