From Roddy:

“a mighty mighty thank you to the fans who had us over in june. aMAzing. see you in august.”

Just came across a new Duane Denison interview where he talks about The Jesus Lizard reforming. Check it out:

Nashville Scene Duane Denison Interview

One of stubb’s readers, John, has been trying to get some info out of the French promoters that recently prematurely advertised the Mondo Cane shows at Cité de la Musique. Finally he has received a response. Hopefully this will help anyone else in the same boat:

“Dear Sir,

we are sending a mail for all the public of these concerts. thank you for
waiting again a little.

Best regards.

L’Equipe des relations avec le public
Cité de la musique”

What exactly the “mail” is that they are sending is yet to be discovered, but hopefully it “arrives” soon.

As part of the North Sea Jazz Festival this weekend, of which John Zorn is Artist in Residence, Secret Chiefs 3 will be playing Masada (Xaphan?) on the Yukon stage.

“With a show that is freaky, sometimes rock hard, but especially enchanting, Secret Chiefs 3 is able to transport its audience into the dark cellars of the musical underworld. During the Jazz Rocks! theme on Saturday on the Yukon stage, SC3 will unleash its demons and shock its audience but also charm them with their magical, improvised show.”

It’s getting closer! After hearing snippets of songs from Chuck Mosley’s new album, Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food via his vlogs and myspace, the time has almost come for the album to hit the streets.

But until then, we will have to be content with the official press release that has just been made available:

Reversed Image Unlimited To Release

CHUCK MOSLEY’S WILL RAP OVER HARD ROCK FOR FOOD

Former Faith No More Vocalist’s New Solo Album

~August 11, 2009~

New York, NY—Rap and Rock music, though viewed through the public lens as worlds apart, are not as distant from one another as they seem. The energy, aggression, and valiant spirit make them the perfect vehicles for unabashed expression, and rap-rock veteran Chuck Mosley realizes this. He is the embodiment of the unification of these two musical forces, as well as the various musical influences he has accumulated as both an artist and an avid music fan. On August 11, he releases his first solo album Will Rap Over Hard Rock For Food via Cleveland-based label Reversed Image Unlimited.

Mosley’s return with Will Rap Over Hard Rock For Food showcases the Godfather of rap-metal seamlessly blending rock, hip-hop, metal, punk and funk. Recounting his previous work, Mosley, as he describes it, would “rant to the beat.” On his latest effort, Mosley’s musical stew combines this approach with an exploration of his vocal range.  It’s apparent that he chose to let his amalgam of cultural saturations melt into this new album, which he describes as “just very normal for me.”

Will Rap… was produced by multi-platinum award-winning producer/engineer Michael Seifert (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Fountains of Wayne, and most recently Reversed Image electro-rockers THIS IS A SHAKEDOWN!). Featuring guest appearances from a cast of characters Chuck has affectionately deemed Vanduls Ugenst Allliderasy, John 5 (Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson), Roddy Bottum (Faith No More, Imperial Drag), and Michael Cartellone (Lynyrd Skynyrd) all contribute to the record. Korn frontman Jonathan Davis (courtesy of Warner Bros. Records), who attributes Mosley as a massive influence, also makes an appearance on the lead single “The Enabler”.

In the 70s, Mosley was just a kid growing up in Southern California with no limitations on his tastes in music. A musical sponge, he studied classical piano for 10 years, while soaking up influences from jazz, rock, pop, and early rap. Eventually signing on to front Faith No More, he crafted these influences to pioneer a whole new take on heavy music. Bringing the rhythm and raw emotion of rap vocals to the riff-laden, chaotic-nature of rock, Mosley became an innovator which many musical acts would emulate, including Korn, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Kid Rock. He would later front legendary hardcore/reggae group the Bad Brains as well.

On July 28th – August 10th, fans will be able to pre-order Chuck Mosley’s Will Rap Over Hard Rock For Food CD Online at www.ReversedImageUnlimited.com <http://www.ReversedImageUnlimited.com>, and receive a personally autographed  CD, plus completed download and a special edition postcard.

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)”

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!
