History
Mudvayne formed in 1996 in Bloomington, Illinois. The band's members met through the local music circuit, and often played in bands together, as well as in each other's bands; McDonough's band Brainsaw featured Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray.
In 2005, their third album Lost and Found was released with the band members' real names and without any gimmicks.The band has said that future use of make-up is not out of the question.
In mid-2005, Mudvayne played on the main stage of Ozzfest. After this tour Mudvayne started a world tour which included Australia, North America and Europe. During their show in Sydney various Australian TV personalities made an appearance such as Nikolas Crowfoot, Mitch Jones and Craig Welton. These concerts were a great success. Mudvayne originally toured Australia in 2001 as part of the Big Day Out festival.
