According to consequence.net, Melvins‘s frontman, King Buzzo and, Mr. Bungle‘s bassist Trevor Dunn, are teaming up for a summer US tour that will see the two musicians performing acoustically together. Butthole Surfers’s bassist, JD Pinkus will serve as the opening act for all dates.

King Dunn Tour kicks off on August 1 in California, and runs through September 26 with a show in Phoenix, Arizona. Tickets to select shows go on sale January 26 through Ticketmaster, with the rest of the tickets being available on the Ipecac Recordings website. Fans can also check for deals or pick up tickets to sold out shows through StubHub, where their purchase is 100 percent guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.

Osborne and Dunn have a long history of collaboration because, both musicians are members of the band Fantômas. Dunn also has played on King Buzzo’s 2020 album, Gift of Sacrifice, and recorded with Osborne and Dale Crover under the moniker Melvins Lite.

When speaking about the upcoming tour, Osbourne said: I’ve been waiting a LONG time to do an acoustic tour with Trevor. He’s a fantastic player, and has the ability to make his bass sound like an oil tanker crashing into a coral reef.”
