Roddy and Mike program ABC’s Rage in Australia in 1995.

Russian fans got the treat of their lives yesterday at Moscow’s B1 Max club , in yet another spectacular highlight of what is proving to be one of the most successful reunion tours in rock history (in stubbadub’s humble opinion.)

Faith No More not only unveiled Zombie Eaters for the first time this tour, but Mike Patton leaped unceremoniously into the pit of frenzied fans mid-way through From Out of Nowhere! Energy is running high and it seems like the guys are really enjoying themselves!

After nearly 12 years this is how you do it!

UPDATE 2: Ipecac now have official word on this:

“It has come to our attention that tickets are being sold for Mike Patton’s Mondo Cane in Paris on February 19 & 20. Unfortunately these dates are not correct. Mike did not agree to these dates. If you bought tickets, please get a refund. We are working on getting the correct dates. (http://www.ipecac.com/news/426)”

UPDATE: Mike’s manager Greg Werckman has stated that Mike will not be playing these shows. He says Mike was approached to play the shows but stated he was not available until March.

Tickets have just gone on sale for two Mike Patton dates with Ochestre Nationale d’Ile de France. February 18th and 20th, 2010. The concerts will be held at Cité de la Musique and are expected to be the first Mondo Cane shows since the highly successful Amsterdam concert of 2008.

A double album of Mondo Cane (Mike Patton and The Metropole Orchestra) is expected for release in November this year, though a later date to coincide with the Paris shows, is likely.

The event is already selling quickly. Get your tickets HERE!

June 14, 2009 Milan (Italy), ROCK IN IDRO @ The Palasharp

June 16, 2009 Berlin, Wuhlheide

June 20, 2009 Scheeßel @ Hurricane

To celebrate the 10th birthday of Ipecac Recordings, the man formally known as gerg, Greg Werkman, was interviewed in the latest issue of rock-a-rolla (a quality magazine).

On the new Fantomas:

“Mike’s not even really begun on that.  He has ideas but it’s not even close.”

On Crudo and Peeping Tom:

“There will also be a new Peeping Tom record, not this year though… Then him and Dan the Automator started working on a band called Crudo.  The thing about Mike is that he always has five or six records at various stages, all at the same time and it’s hard to tell which one’s gonna get done first.  And then other things happen in his life and everything is put on hold.  He just did the score for Crank: High Voltage.  That took up four or five months of his life this last year, and when things like that happen everything else stops until he finishes those projects.”

On the much anticipated italian pop covers album Mondo Cane:

“We got Mike’s big project that he’s been working on for a while, a little over a year, called Mondo Cane. He sings italian pop songs with a full orchestra. He taped a couple of the shows he did over there last year and then he’s been in the studio working on the tracks and adding some strings. It’s taking longer now with the FNM stuff going on, it’s gonna delay it a little. I hope that record comes out in November of this year, but maybe not.”

After being tantalized with glimpses of footage of Trevor Dunn’s baby Mad Love from their brief live stint, word from the man is that their debut album will be released around September on Ipecac Recordings.

Can’t wait for this one.
