Mondo Cane – a 2nd album and a DVD will eventually see the light of day
Faith No More – the album question is breached
Sorry guys, been busy and have been neglecting you lately I know…..also copped some shite from someone I used to respect regarding stubb which made me question the future of the site briefly.
Anyway, have been posting news to twitter though so if you don’t follow stubb yet, please do.
Thought I would post a quick round up of what has been happening lately:
via theholyfilament, who’s that with Vincent & Mr Green?
via PattonArchivo, Stanier is back working with Duane, will we see a new Tomahawk this year (and who’s on bass)?
via stubber “Timb”, a huge new Trevor Dunn interview at invisible oranges. A must read.
via postyMcP, a new Book of Knots album, Garden of Fainting Stars, and it’s on Ipecac!
via WanderLusting and Gadfly, a great live review of the Pivixki/Patton and Bill Gould’s “The Talking Book” show.
Trey announces on facebook a whole stack of new Secret Chiefs 3 tour dates along with the tip that there will be an extensive U.S tour with dates to be announced shortly.
Billy Gould releases “The Talking Book” (more to come on that soon).
A new one from Stanier’s Battles, Gloss Drop, out in June.
A huge newsletter from Carla Kihlstedt including news on a new Tin Hat album!
Think that’s most things for now. Hope everyone is doing well 
Lusty is back at it again providing us ravenous fans with the latest news. This time it’s over at American Noise in the form of a lengthy chat she had with Greg Werckman, Mr Patton‘s partner and Ipecac Recordings frontman.
Among other things, Greg talks about the the state of the music industry, life in the digital age of music (from a small label’s perspective), upcoming Ipecac releases and some news on Mike Patton projects.
On digital music:
“digital is getting really close to matching CD sales. The bands that tour sell a lot of CDs. It’s really kind of funny because a lot of people say ‘Oh the CD is dead,’ but it’s not. When our bands play live, they sell a lot of CDs at the shows.”
On social media:
“I remember Shawn (Vezinaw), who runs our Los Angeles office saying, “I need Mike to take pictures when he’s on the road with his phone, they don’t need to be good, just anything so I can put them on Facebook.” And Mike and I both thought that was kind of goofy. But Mike started doing it. He’d take a picture of a meal he had and Sean would put it up there and there would be hundreds of responses to it. It’s seems odd but you got to do it.”
On The Melvins:
“I still think, as popular as The Melvins are, that they are just ridiculously overlooked. I don’t think there’s a better hard rock band going and that includes the huge bands that play arenas like Metallica or whatever. The Melvins are rock and roll.”
On Mike Patton’s current projects:
“He did the score for the Italian filmThe Solitude of Prime Numbers so we’re going to be putting out that soundtrack. A couple of shows he’s done over the years we’ve taped: there’s a Fantômas New Year’s show that we’re working on that’s going to be this really cool, really funny live DVD that we’ll be putting out.
He’s in the early stages of working on some new Tomahawk music and some new Fantômas music, more Mondo Cane—he’s literally working on six or seven records right now. He’s also got this project (that we’re not putting out) called Nevermen, that’s coming out on Lex Records. It’s with Tunde from TV on the Radio and Dose One from the Anticon world. It’s just going to be three vocalists. It’s just a weird, kind of cool record. He’s also signed up to reprise his role in the Darkness II video game.”

Nice big article on Mike over at alarmpress with a few updates on his current and future plans:
“Between the second Mondo Cane installment and another tour, Patton isn’t done exploring. His restless nature won’t allow for that. And like usual, he and Ipecac partner Greg Werckman have a full schedule of upcoming releases, including a soundtrack by Daniele Luppi and a new album by experimental-rock studio project The Books of Knots.
And after the possibility of even more tour dates from the reunited Faith No More, Patton’s commitments, to be finished in no particular order, include a film score for the adaptation of The Solitude of Prime Numbers, an electronic Fantômas album, another Tomahawk release, the Crudo collaboration with Dan the Automator, and another Moonchild disc with the Zorn crew.“
There have been a couple of new Mike Patton interviews appearing here and there recently with lots of juicy new info, specifically on the future of Fantomas, Tomahawk and Faith No More. Check em out:
On Fantomas:
“I just need to write a new record for these guys. They’re just sitting around waiting for me. That’s the status. Very simple. I’ve just gotta, you know, do it. That’s (Fantomas) an important one to me. It’s close to my heart. I don’t wanna take it for granted.”
On Faith No More
“It just happened. I think it was a reconciliation of sorts. We’ve been offered to reform many, many times over the last ten years. At some point, we all realized, ‘Hey, what’s the problem here? Should we do this? Will the music stand up?’ That was a big question. So, we rehearsed to kinda figure out whether it would stand up or not. And it did. And here we are.”
On future Zorn Collaborations:
“Zorn’s written another Moonchild record that I gotta go out to New York and sing on it. In fact, I should be doing it right now.”
On Tomahawk:
“Yeah, yeah. But it’s not my project so… It’s Duane [Denison]’s project. He’s written a bunch of new tunes and he actually just sent me a CD the other day. It’s, like, acoustic guitar and metronome… We’re a long ways off, but yeah, I think there will be more music. Why not?”
On Mondo Cane:
“I knew I would interpret these pieces aggressively – but I didn’t want to murder them, because there has to be an element of respect there and to really just commit some kind of a crime in the name of nostalgia would not be cool… I wouldn’t sleep so well.”
On the future of Faith No More:
“I would venture a guess that this is going to be it, but hey – this is what our focus is now – once this is all over, maybe we’ll sit around, have a laugh and talk about the future. But right now I think it’s way too early to say.”
On future projects:
“I’m working on another score, for an Italian film which should be out later in the year. Mondo Cane is doing a tour in Europe in July, believe it or not, it’s a hell of a time to put it together but we’re going to be over there for around a month.”
Just came across a new Duane Denison interview where he talks about The Jesus Lizard reforming. Check it out:

I guess I’m behind the eight ball, didn’t even know this existed.

Forgot about these till I saw them on my old trade site.
These are from the heavily publicised London gig but a friend of mine told me this happened at the Brisbane Tomahawk show as well (prior to the London show), and no one really cared or complained…..
