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:

From Ipecac:

“Wanna hear a secret? The new band, Crudo, is playing a top secret warm up show in San Francisco at Great American Music Hall on Thursday May 22nd and tix just went on sale. This will be the first ever appearance of the Mike Patton/Dan the Automator project. It is the warm up show for their appearance at the Sasquatch festival at the Gorge in Washington on May 24th. No word on where or when the record will be released but should be fun live. Be the first to witness Crudo!!!!!”

Came across a couple of interesting interviews that I thought I would share:

Tidbits from the synthersisradio audio interview:

• A soon to be released dvd of the fantomas melvins bigband
• A Summer release for the Mondo Cane album
• Mike performs most of the stuff for the A Perfect Place OST. He brought in a couple of percussionists and a couple of horn players but most was done with his keyboard and samples

The latest collaboration between Mike Patton and Dan the Automator, Crudo (described as “strange and bizarre R n’ B”) is to debut live at the Sasquatch Festival. No news on an album release date (rumoured 2009 release). The festival runs from the 24th to the 26th of May 2008.
