Faith No More Hordern After Party Goss
Hanging out backstage at the Hordern at the FNM after party has it’s benefits.
The following is some info I picked up from various convos I had during the party.
Mike Patton:
On the new Mondo Cane album – May release date for hopefully June and July tour
On the Paris Mondo Cane show situation – He is not happy with the way the French venue handled the Mondo Cane show by selling tickets before he had actually confirmed the show. He is looking at other possible venues and mentioned that the Sydney Opera House was a good possibility as they had approached him to do a Mondo Cane show there
Jon Hudson:
On new material and Faith No More‘s future – He has no idea what is going to happen post second coming completion. None of them have discussed it yet. The plan was to do Europe and Australia and finish up with a few US shows. With the tour nearing completion they will get together at the end and work out where they go from there.
On the reunion - They just all got together to see how it felt. He said if anyone had actually heard them the first time they played together again, he is sure no one would have wanted it to happen

On the festival tour Scene – He much prefers the intimacy of smaller venues like the Hordern as you can see and interact with the crowd. Festivals (such as soundwave) feel like you are just playing to a giant faceless blob
Gregg Turkington:
On faxed Head – Has put together an albums worth of Faxedhead stuff. Trey has expressed his enthusiasm for the new album, but Gregg is struggling to pin him down to record it and make it happen.
Billy Gould:
On Faith No More returning to Australia – He said if it is going to happen it will happen sooner rather than later because he is getting too old for this sort of thing (so probably very unlikely to occur)

Danny Heifetz:
Current Projects – He recently recorded drums for the upcoming as yet untitled theHead album. Danny toured with theHead in support of “Cubic Meters” back in 2003.
And care of the Horden, the Faith No More setlist from the Hordern show………They were going to play As the Worm Turns!

Oh yeah and this guy is one of the nicest guys around. Thanks Billy for an amazing night
