The latest newsletter to appear via the Faith No More official mailing list hit inboxes this morning. U.S dates soon!

“Hi Kids.

First of all, yeah, we know we’ve had this mailing list for awhile now; to be exact, we’ve been collecting your names since May! Nevertheless, we’ve been hard at work: two tours of Europe and one of South America. Plus, we’ve tried to keep this whole endeavor as honest as possible; we haven’t employed any so-called  “street teams” for  viral marketing on forums, etc, and we’ve done our utmost to try to stick to the no-interviews policy, in order to keep the focus centered around the shows and the music.

However, although we’ve been relatively quiet on a media level, that is not to say that we haven’t appreciated the 1000% percent support we’ve received from our fans. Truly, these shows have exceeded our expectations, and a big part of it has come from  the amazing energy of the audience. It’s been a real shot in the arm, and made this worthwhile for all of us.  We honestly had no idea what was going to happen when we got into this, and are humbly overwhelmed by your attention and praise and good will.

So, here’s a big THANK YOU for 2009, and a wish that 2010 is a productive, prosperous and happy one for all of you!!

Cheers,

FAITH NO MORE

The Soundwave Festival recently released the official soundwave timetable. Faith No More are (obviously) headlining and will be hitting the main stage (Stage 1) at 20:40 until 22:00.

Isis have a much less luctrative slot and time length. They will hit stage 4 at 13:40 for a 40 minute slot and will be followed by Clutch.

Recently Isis frontman Aaron Turner was interviewed on the Governors Ball.

The interview is downloadable. Check it out: Part 1 & Part 2.
