Biography of BandHeavy metal quartet Mudvayne formed in Peoria, IL, in 1996, its members adopting the unusual pseudonyms sPaG (M.
McDonough) (drums), Gurrg (G. Tribbett) (guitar), and Kud (C. Gray)
(vocals). The group's original bassist was replaced after two years by Ryknow (Ryan Martinie). During their development,
the band members began the practice of applying bizarre makeup. After self-releasing their first album, Kill I Oughta,
they were signed by Epic Records and recorded their major label debut, L.D. 50, which was released in August 2000 shortly
after the end of their first national tour opening for Slipknot. The album later went gold and earned Mudvayne the first
ever MTV2 Video Award at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. Mudvayne continued touring, and reissuing their self-released
debut EP Kill, I Oughta in November 2001 as The Beginning of All Things to End. A year later the band returned with its
official follow-up, The End of All Things to Come, which was recorded at Minneapolis' Pachyderm Studios with Tool producer
David Bottrill. With a new album came new personas, this time as space aliens. The band changed their names accordingly,
taking the new monikers of Chьd (Kud,) Gььg (Gurrg,) R-ьD (Ryknow,) and Spьg (sPaG). They embarked on a European tour,
arriving back stateside in July to join the "Summer Sanitarium" shed tour, featuring such heavyweights as Metallica and
Linkin Park. In 2005, the band released Lost and Found, its third album for Epic. |
