Since <a href="spotify:artist:2zq0uqN9Wq12tqrQQt1ozw">Mr. Bungle</a> is notorious for taking substantial amounts of time between albums (it took them four years to follow up their 1991 debut), its bandmembers are left with a lot of time on their hands. Hence the members of <a href="spotify:artist:2zq0uqN9Wq12tqrQQt1ozw">Mr. Bungle</a> use their off time wisely, by writing, recording, and touring with other bands or, often, side projects.

The best side project of the bunch, Secret Chiefs 3, features <a href="spotify:artist:2zq0uqN9Wq12tqrQQt1ozw">Mr. Bungle</a> comrades Trey Spruance (guitar/vocals), <a href="spotify:artist:6hvUUAdvQkBwvcbSzAGXbU">Trevor Dunn</a> (bass/vocals), and Danny Heifetz (drums). If there are any remaining who think that the musicians in <a href="spotify:artist:2zq0uqN9Wq12tqrQQt1ozw">Mr. Bungle</a> are just a vehicle for vocalist <a href="spotify:artist:34Ai24gPz5YJ8NbksiNFef">Mike Patton</a>'s singing talents, Secret Chiefs 3 is the ultimate proof that this is not the case. Trey Spruance gets a chance to be the leader, as he wrote every track on their 1996 debut First Grand Constitution and Bylaws, and was the record's producer as well. Before the full-length debut appeared, the group whet their fans' appetites by including a Secret Chiefs 3 single with vinyl copies of <a href="spotify:artist:2zq0uqN9Wq12tqrQQt1ozw">Mr. Bungle</a>'s 1995 magnum opus, Disco Volante, as well as recording a warped version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" for a Japanese Christmas compilation. They were also signed on to contribute a <a href="spotify:artist:3oDbviiivRWhXwIE8hxkVV">Beach Boys</a> track to a Japanese <a href="spotify:artist:3oDbviiivRWhXwIE8hxkVV">Beach Boys</a> tribute album, showing that they can tackle just about any musical form put in front of them. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
