Mind Funk were an American stoner rock/grunge band (having started out as a funk metal band on their first album) containing members of Chemical Waste and several other bands, originally known as "Mind Fuck" but were forced by Epic Records to change their name. The band signed to the Sony/Epic-label and released their self-titled debut album in 1991. Guitarist Jason Everman, known for stints on guitar and bass with Nirvana and Soundgarden, joined and later left in September 1994 to join the US Army 2nd Ranger Battalion and the Special Forces. Louis Svitek went on to later perform with Ministry and has since opened his new recording studio and label, Wu-Li Records. John Monte also later performed with Ministry.
