But not much…………

Not sure who they are but the song sounds interesting.

The Qemests – Lost Weekend Ftr Mike Patton

Anyone got any more info on this band?

Bloody brilliant show as always. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of these guys you have to see them live, they put on a great show. Some of the items thrown in to the crowd by the band included a garbage bin, mic stands, and band equipment boxes. The security guards didn’t look overly impressed. Greg stole a cymbal from Gil and wedged it between the left house speakers. Never been to the roundhouse before but I have to say it’s a great venue. Pretty much good views from anywhere in the place.

Ben hooked me up with a photographers pass which was awesome of him (thanks heaps Ben) so I managed to score some pretty sweet photos of the event. Here is a smattering of the better ones:

Bar McKinnon will guest star on a few songs this Friday the 17th with Dillinger Escape Plan at their Palace (formerly Metro) gig in Melbourne. Should be interesting Anyone going, please take pics!

Trey Spruance and Tawb b. Dorenfeld (Director/Writer of The Anna Cabrini Chronicles) conducted an interview with UCSC Radio to talk about the movie The Anna Cabrini Chronicles. I have been keen to see this movie and after seeing snippets in these interviews I am even more so. If you are interested in the move after watching these interviews, head on over to www.annacabrini.com.

So it looks like Crudo have debuted the track “Let’s Go” on their myspace page. On first listen I thought it sounded eerily similar to his General Patton work.

According to patton archivo this song was played live by Peeping Tom last year a couple of times. He has links to a couple of youtube videos of the song being played by Peeping Tom as well.

Their myspace also has a few new Crudo promo pics:

My friend Henrik from the cv mailing list recently posted an overview of the Trey Spruance interview recently published in the magazine rock-a-rolla. Go grab a copy, it’s a great read.

I’ve got the new issue with Trey’s interview and it was pretty
interesting. I’ll mention a few interesting things from the interview.

First of all Trey talked about how he came to do the Xaphan album.
When SC3 were playing at the Stone, Zorn happened to be there and he
ran home and came back with Masada Book II (300 charts) at the end of
the show and offered Trey to make a record and arrange however he
wanted. Next Trey and Jason Schimmel looked through the charts and the
ones Zorn suggested struck him immediately and he knew exactly what he
wanted to do.

Then he compares Zorn’s way of doing this to his own way, for example
the amount of time he spends on SC3 records. Also the way of doing
live shows is different, where Zorn get the players ready on the same
day of the show (or they’ve rehearsed before) and play the show.
Whereas Trey has a “pool” of players that are “broken in” and get
whoever’s available for those shows.

He also says he’s more into composing than being “fixated” on an
instrument. The Book of Souls is divided into three folios and a lot
of it is at the mixing stage and doing the Xaphan got in the way of
that, but helped creatively.

He says that FORMS and Holy Vehm is next up for the live shows.

Furthermore, he says that he “resents” iPods for ruining the artwork/
image aspect of the album/single.

WoM will release a cd with a band called The Diminshed Men, some kind
of surf-ish music and also Girth (the band which Peijman is in).

At the end of the interview he talks about the demise of Mr. Bungle,
saying that he probably was the one who was in denial longest, until
late 2005 and the way that it ended was weird, sad and awkward. He
thought the problems could be solved and that the band could’ve made a
fourth album. Trey says: ” “Management” certainly didn’t help, and
continues not to, and that’s the only grudge I bear.”

He says he doesn’t have a grudge against Patton, but that he wouldn’t
be too eager to get into a band situation with him these days. But
all in all, he thinks Mr. Bungle had a good run and that he thinks
fondly of those days.
He also stated that he still has material for a Bungle record and that
he would be positive to a live album.

Then he talks about the other members of Bungle, saying that he’s
heard some of Trevor Dunn’s stuff and that he always likes his
playing. He mentions that he played with Umläut, Bär McKinnon’s band,
on the Australian tour and that he always likes things about Fantômas.
He also sounds enthusiastic about Patton‘s Mondo Cane project and
says: …”which sounds perfect for him – like something he should have
done all along.” He’s not into the more rock/hip-hop stuff that
Patton’s been doing, but that’s probably because he doesn’t like
anything that sounds that way. At the end he expresses his admiration
for Danny Heifetz drumwork.

He also talks a lot about middle eastern philosophy and the difference
in recording techniques between SC3 and Bungle. Well there you go,
that’s about as much as I can write about it!

“We’ve always been a band that has an element of unpredictability,” Weinman says in vast understatement. “At the same time, there’s a lot of people who think our music is just noise. But everything we do has a purpose and has a meaning.”

“Mike Patton is the former lead singer of Faith No More, and has also sung with leftfield rock bands such as Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk and Fantomas. His latest project is the score for the independent short “A Perfect Place,” a production of Bay Area Fantoma Films. Patton recently voiced characters in “I Am Legend,” as well as several video games including The Darkness, The Portal and the forthcoming Bionic Commando. This fall, he will premiere his orchestral rock project Mondo Cane. We talked to the longtime Bay Area resident about some of the places he goes to catch his breath.”
