Trey Spruance - Miller's Higher Life

Album: Indiscreet Stereo Test Record vol. 1 Label: Discreet/Indiscreet Year: 1995 Trey Spruance's first side project appearance was Scourge in 1990. It was a first attempt to bring heavy music back to life, which has been done successfully by his crippled pals in Faxed Head, who have their albums out on Amarillo Records. In the country/folk/rock band Dieselhed he has played live, helped produce one album, and played on one song. With Gregg Turkington he played in the experimental group The Three Doctors, produced the nationally well-known comedian Neil Hamburger, and helped with taping and producing various other releases from Amarillo, such as his latest composition, the Arabian-flavored Secret Chiefs 3 (which Danny Heifetz & Trevor Dunn also appear on). Another song, which the SC3 contributed to the Christmas Album Sampler, had Gregg Turkington, William Winant, and Danny Heifetz as guests. Trey and other Mr. Bungle members have worked with John Zorn, performing Cobra live a couple of times, recording Elegy, an ambient experimental piece, and played on the Burt Bacharach tribute album. He also appears on the recent Pop'o'Pies release. He was the lead guitarist on Faith No More's 1995 album King For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime. For the advanced listener he contributed a song to the very noise oriented Stereo Test Record Millers Higher Life, and performs every now and then under the name Noddingturd Fan. He has also collaborated with violin wizard Eyvind Kang, acts like Machine For Making Sense (6 piece experimental), the International Bustmonster Allstars, the Faxed Head-hating boogie woogie blues Bon Larvis Band, and the garage rock band Plainfield. Currently he's working on finishing a composition called Apokatastasis (out on Birdman records), and a new Secret Chiefs 3 album. Also, the black metal and techno influenced Holy Vehm project should be facing a release in the near future. Source: https://bunglefever.com/faq.html
