If you’re local and feel inclined, come catch Munkle down at the Basement just off Pitt St.

I have had the new album, Music to Dance to, for a couple of weeks and I love it. Have spun it at least once a day since I got it. I am in the process of writing up a bit of a review of the album which I had hoped to have had done by now before the show, but I failed. Anyway stay tuned for that over the next couple of days.

The latest Kerrang magazine, out 11th of March, features something that probably most of us never thought we would see in our lifetime, Faith No More!

“After an 11 year split, FNM are reforming for this year’s Kerrang!-sponsored Download festival. We chronicle how the San Franciscan nutjobs became the finest – and moist shocking – band of the ’90s!”

Linky

Mr Gould tweeted yesterday what can only be described as joyous and momentous news (if you are Australian or Brazilian of course). One step closer!

“In answer to your questions of shows outside the EU, especially from Brazil and Australia, yes, we are thinking of coming there.”

ASTRONOME: A NIGHT AT THE OPERA
Ontological Theater, 131 E. 10th St.
, New York, 10003
Richard Foreman is one of the most important theatre directors in the world, and has been a personal hero of Zorn’s for over 30 years. These two masters of the bizarre have now collaborated on a theatre/music piece and it is opening on February 5th at the Ontological-Hysteric Theatre at St Marks in the Bowery, New York City. This is one of those things that can only happen downtown-independent of any special grants, funding, institution or administration. ASTRONOME is the intense second Moonchild CD featuring Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn and Joey Baron, and Richard Foreman’s staging of it is absolutely stunning.
Please make a special effort to see this once in a lifetime event, opening FEBRUARY 5 AND RUNNING FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS!
