Fantomas, Mondo Cane, Crudo and Peeping Tom Deux
To celebrate the 10th birthday of Ipecac Recordings, the man formally known as gerg, Greg Werkman, was interviewed in the latest issue of rock-a-rolla (a quality magazine).
On the new Fantomas:
“Mike’s not even really begun on that. He has ideas but it’s not even close.”
On Crudo and Peeping Tom:
“There will also be a new Peeping Tom record, not this year though… Then him and Dan the Automator started working on a band called Crudo. The thing about Mike is that he always has five or six records at various stages, all at the same time and it’s hard to tell which one’s gonna get done first. And then other things happen in his life and everything is put on hold. He just did the score for Crank: High Voltage. That took up four or five months of his life this last year, and when things like that happen everything else stops until he finishes those projects.”
On the much anticipated italian pop covers album Mondo Cane:
“We got Mike’s big project that he’s been working on for a while, a little over a year, called Mondo Cane. He sings italian pop songs with a full orchestra. He taped a couple of the shows he did over there last year and then he’s been in the studio working on the tracks and adding some strings. It’s taking longer now with the FNM stuff going on, it’s gonna delay it a little. I hope that record comes out in November of this year, but maybe not.”
Hat tip and thanks to mindbait for the heads up and transcribing the interview snippets!

[...] Stubbadub have excerpts from an interview in rock a rolla magazine with Greg Werkman from Ipecac records on Mike Patton’s future plans. Sample quote: “There will also be a new Peeping Tom record, not this year though… Then him and Dan the Automator started working on a band called Crudo. The thing about Mike is that he always has five or six records at various stages, all at the same time and it’s hard to tell which one’s gonna get done first.” [...]

Shite. So the much-anticipated (by me anyway) release of Mondo Cane has been put back even further thanks to the nostalgia fest that is currently going on?
Onwards & upwards. Forwards & never backwards.
Mind you, Download did look a blast!

Dude, I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt that, heh

sorry gronk
did’nt get back to you on the mit gas(love thing)got the lyrics from darklyrics.com anyone who has gone thru a nasty break-up must be able to relate to this album tho patton eat’s the biscuit.. check out capt midnight then rape this day for starters then go to mayday then the rest of the album to join up the dots it’s def about his separation /split from titi….just goes to show you can be a genius and loved the way patton is, but at the end of the day he’s only human and takes break-ups the same as the rest of us.check it out!

i checked it out thanks for the link. I’m a bit skeptical on the accuracy of some of those lyrics but it gives you a good idea that’s for sure.
poor guy, wonder what happened? strains of a touring musician relationship?

Oh Dear, Please.
The Mondo Cane show has been on youtube and bittorrent for what?
At least 6+ months now the last time I checked.
Really, Dear.
Take a pill and take a deep breath. It’ll be OK…
Patton has been bumming around and fucking around on bullshit art school projects for ELEVEN YEARS now and you’re going to blame FNM 2009 for all his backlog woes?
Really?

Mondo Cane has been in the works for a long time though. He usually doesn’t muck around with an album for so long, unless it’s peeping tom, and that was only cos he was pimpin it to the majors…… I’m well keen to get the Mondo Cane release, but I’m definitely enjoying the FNM reunion that’s for sure

In a word, yes.
Glad to see you have waited patiently on Mike Patton to stop wasting time on ‘bullshit art school projects’, as you describe it, for 11 years and provide you with some more nice memories to enjoy in your dotage.

one of those bullshit art school projects is one of my favourite bands
July 8th, 2009 at 2:01 am
Which one? Fantomas perhaps?
July 8th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
yep Fantomas for sure
I really hope that band isn’t dead.

Nah, it’s just having an extra-long Sunday morning lie-in. It’ll get out of bed when it can be arsed!
