Fantomas Sydney Drum Media Review

gronk

As it appears in the latest Drum (10th Feb issue):

“Fantomas nearly upstaged the main act with their renditions of ’70′s and ’80′s classic and cult movie theme songs, whilst dressed in white cricket uniforms, zinc smeared on cheeks. With a tight energy that took years of touring to hone, the band were amazingly precise on every note, especially drummer Dale Crover, whilst still giving frontman Mike Patton a chance to add his falsetto flairs and convulsing body movements to songs Der Golem and Cape Fear. They continued to play through through The Director’s Cut in random order, leaving the audience satisfied to the point where the main act could have been forgotten entirely.”

The rest is about Serj Tankian and his “band”. I’m not going to bother transcribing that as their show was less than average.
