Biography
Olivia Newton Bundy was a co-founder of Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids. He was replaced by Gidget Gein at the bass later in 1990. After being replaced by Gein, in 1991 Bundy formed Lungs (subsequently renamed Collapsing Lungs, and renamed again to Lungs), where he also played bass. The band was signed to Atlantic Records in 1993 and a year later they released their only major label record, Colorblind. The band also headlined the 1993 Slammie Awards, where Marilyn Manson won several categories. Lungs disbanded in 1994.
In 1996 Brian along with notable DJ Grynch created a new band, Nation of Fear. They released the song "Immortal" on a compilation album for rock station 9.49 WZTA. Later that year Nation of Fear would release their well-received self-titled album on DiMar Records. They would go on tour with Genitorturers and were even joined on tour by Lords of Acid. Nation of Fear (like their tour-mates) were known for stage antics including S&M, powertools, and pyrotechnic shows.
In 1998, Nation of Fear's second release Everything Beautiful Rusts, while receiving much more attention, failed to keep the band together and by 2000 they had broken up.
Bundy can now be seen on a weekly music show Feedback featured on the television channel PAX.
