New Mike Patton Triple J Interview
Triple J, an Australian ‘alt’ radio station this morning aired a recent interview with Mike Patton from his San Fran home.
Interesting points that came from the interview include:
- He is about to complete a film score for an italian movie called “The Solitude of Prime Numbers”
- The Nevermen project with doseone and TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe should be due at the end of the year. He describes the project as a ‘vocal trio’
- He has a new Fantomas album bubbling away in the back of his mind
- Duane Denison is hard at work writing music for the new Tomahawk album

The interviewers here suck, Mike has to run most of the interview himself.

yeah they were pathetic. they ask stupid questions which mike has to twist around in to something useful.
pretty sad actually how far triple j have fallen.

Cool that he mentioned PIVIXKI! Anthony Pateras is a friend of mine and an amazing composer- also the drummer from PIVIXKI went to my high school…
ZOMG!

I used to listen to Triple J all the time when I was living in Sydney and I have to agree that they could’ve been more creative with their questions, but at least their lack of asking much lead to more of Mike talking! Great to hear news about a new Tomahawk record being on the radar. Looks like that will surface sooner than a new Fantomas record anyway. That looks like a long way off, yet.

Triple J have always been good to Patton and his niche bands over the years though. When they used to have their Triple J TV shows they had two seperate interviews with Peeping Tom (Patton & Imani) on both JTV & JTV Saturday.

Perhaps it’s best to let Patton flow rather than lumber him with questions and take over like some ego-driven political commentator. I thought they done ok and let Patton speak which he seemed only to happy to do.

Alot of great news coming out of the interview, hopefully new Fantomas and Tomahawk albums early next year.

I agree with Jim Bowen.
It’s a good interview, I thank those guys to let Mike talk as much as he wanted.

I would think we’re a good one and a half to 2 years away from seeing the next Tomahawk album and given he hasn’t even started writing the next Fantomas album yet and factoring in all their schedules (eg Lombardo won’t be free until after the touring cycle finishes for the next Slayer album) it would be a good 3 maybe 4 years before the next Fantomas album. I doubt he’s going to have it done before Slayer write/record/tour their next album.
It’s pretty disappointing since it’s already 7 years since Fantomas last recorded an album too (both DC & SA were recorded at the same time in ’03).

i’d read somewhere that slayer were looking to retire, not sure if raining blood was going to be last album or the next one will be… or maybe i’m completely wrong about all of this but either way yeah i doubt we’ll see tomahawk or fantomas ‘early’ next year
