Faith No More and Imperial Teen
Joining his schoolfriends Billy Gould and Mike Bordin in Faith No More in 1982 (replacing Wade Worthington), Bottum remained in the band until its demise in 1998. However, after 1992's Angel Dust and its ensuing tour, Bottum's input into Faith No More was reduced significantly. In an interview made available to fans on the band's King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime album (vinyl collection box set), Bottum explained that his contributions to the band's efforts had necessarily declined because of the death of his father that year. In 2009, Bottum returned to Faith No More for a reunion tour and possibly a recording.
In 1994/1995, Bottum formed Imperial Teen with Lynn Perko, another Bay Area music veteran. The band is perhaps best known for their single "Yoo Hoo" used in the 1999 film Jawbreaker.
