Lucky Chilean Bastards! Fresh off Billy’s twitter:
“Santiago, Chile: King for a Day from front to back, with original guitarist Trey Spruance!! Told you it would be something different…!”
Do I even need say… I wish I was there!

Forgot to post this a while back, but Chantel Bann made the epic journey from Oz to the states to catch the Hollywood shows, and she managed to get some great shots (as usual 
)

So lots of goss is making the rounds after the recent Faith No More shows in L.A. Mindbait has some insight in to the state of Fantomas as heard from ‘the Gerg’ Werkman and also rock photographer slash CoS writer @wanderlustingkh recently tweeted some interesting titbits as heard backstage from Mr Dave Lombardo:
“Fantomas isn’t tracked. Lovage is. Dave still has to do drums. Dave said the ‘electronic’ part of the next album is that he’ll play and Patton will dub over with an electronic drum kit… he said Patton’s working on the theme, I think a lot has been recorded from the other dudes… And there you have it folks – that’s your Fantomas scoop straight from the mouth of the world’s best drummer Dave Lombardo.”
Anyone else heard any new news?
