Search SiteAboutThe Secret Chiefs 3 are a revolving band hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. Led by former Mr. Bungle guitarist Trey Spruance, the Secret Chiefs 3 perform a wide range of musical styles including surf rock, Persian, death metal, cinemaesque themes, and various others. The band formed in the mid-nineties with members Trey Spruance, Trevor Dunn, and Danny Heifetz. Since then the Secret Chiefs 3 have had revolving musicians on each of their albums, including former members from Mr. Bungle and Estradasphere, as well as musicians William Winant and Eyvind Kang, among others. There are continuing theological and philisophical themes running through the band's history. The visual presentation of the albums relies heavily on icons and symbols related to these ideas...
