Thanks to my buddy Mike at Atomic Basement (KOWH Comic book! Duh!), we have some semi official confirmation that the Amsterdam Mondo Cane concert originally streamed on the FabChannel website (RIP) in 2008, will be released sometime in the (near?) future.

According to the solicitation promo material made available recently for the Mondo Cane album, there will be “an upcoming DVD which will feature a live performance of Mondo Cane in Amsterdam”.

This is great news! Hopefully it will feature the entire concert, and not just a smattering of songs from the show like the soon to be released Mondo Cane album.

Mike Patton is set to perform Luciano Berio’s Laborintus II in Amsterdam on June 18 at the Holland Festival.

The show is described on the official site as a “Full-length programme centred on Luciano Berio’s masterpiece Laborintus II.” More info can be found at the Holland Fest site

The Official Announcement:

“Mike Patton is not one to shy away from experiments. The frontman of Faith No More guest stars in a programme featuring Luciano Berio’s 1965 masterpiece Laborintus II, a modern concert chamber opera based on works by Dante, TS Eliot and Ezra Pound. Ictus, the Nederlands Kamerkoor and video-collective Visual Kitchen support Patton and his musical guests. Laborintus II mixes a whole range of musical styles, from dramatic opera to ‘60’s European jazz. After the break Patton will hold an improvisation session with a host of greats from the international jazz scene. The evening is rounded off with a steaming DJ-set inspired by Italian B-movies.”
