Sweet!

“The Mike Patton concert at Paradiso - Main Hall was webcast live on 12 Jun 08. Right now we’re in the proces of clearing the rights of the video. The entire recording of the Mike Patton concert will be available soon.”

Mondo Cane Webcast at fabchannel.com

A hint from the S.G’s interview. Maybe not but it seems like it will be.

“EB:

So what’s your next release we should be looking out for?

 

MP:

Mondo Cane. It’s a new project of mine. It’s an orchestral project of ’50s and ’60s Italian pop tunes that I arranged.

 

EB:

Fabulous.

 

MP:

It’s a crooning record but with an orchestra. Not many horns. And, I wouldn’t say very jazzy, but much more orchestral ballad stuff. Lots of singing. But it’s not in English. Summertime we hope.”

Mike Patton’s Mondo Cane will be playing at the Holland Festival on the 12 June 2008 commencing at 20.30.

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
