YOUR QUESTION

I have a totally inconsequential question but I’ve been curious about it for a while and I don’t know why.
From what I’ve seen, every Bungle performance from the beginning up through the tour for the first album had you at stage right and Trey stage left. But since DV and continuing to the present day on the Raging Wrath shows, you guys switched. Was there any reason for this?

MY ANSWER

I seem to remember that early on I was stage left, but I think we randomly changed things around on occasion for no good reason. No idea if there was any logic to the set up when we were a septet. Later, it made sense for the keyboard station to be where it was and for me to be tucked back, as it were, with Danny. In general, I don’t have a personal preference, although I was taught by a jazz band instructor in college to set up on the high hat side and I tend to automatically do that. I think it does give me a better sight line to the drummer.
