Mike Patton guests on the latest Secret Chiefs 3 7 inch release on a Traditionalists track titled “La Chanson de Jacky“.

The B-side, also a traditionalists song, is “a spaghetti-seasoned marination” rework of Book of Horizons’ “The Exile” titled simply “The Western Exile“.

Available now at mimicry.

Check it out! Let the speculation bungling begin……………………..

“That brings me up to June which I can’t talk too much about right now nor the months that follow because it’s secret and probably completely insane, but let’s just say that I plan on setting a world record this year. And I’m not even fucking kidding.”

From last night’s Mondo Cane show at the state theatre in Sydney (it was more amazing than I could have imagined) Chantel Bann brings us some great shots!

The long-time side band of Faith No More keyboardist Roddy Bottum, in which he’s a vocalist/guitarist will be releasing their new album ‘Feel The Sound’ on the 31st of January. It will be Imperial Teen’s first album since 2007.

More info at: www.imperialteen.com

Faith No More recently played the KFAD album in full at a show in Chile, which also saw Trey Spruance finally make his live debut with the band but wait there’s more…

FNM also played popular KFAD-era B-side ‘Absolute Zero’ live for the first time!

Ten years since their last album The Mark Of Cain are back with new single ‘Barkhammer’ from the soon to be released album ‘Songs of the Third & Fifth’.

Triple J’s Home & Hosed programme debuted ‘Barkhammer’ on national airwaves last night and the single will be available for free from The Mark Of Cain’s website for one day only on Monday 5th December.

“In a recent interview with mxdwn.com Eric San aka Kid Koala has given news of a new Lovage album, and also The Slew album:

We’ve heard rumors of a new Lovage album in the works. Is there any truth to that?
There is. The beats are done and my turntables are done, but that’s about it at this point. Mike [Patton] is still writing, hasn’t recorded anything yet. I couldn’t put an exact date on it. Sometimes it goes quickly, but if he’s busy sometimes it doesn’t. But soon, hopefully. I always thought it would be cool to drop it on Valentines Day.
Then you better get moving on it!
(Laughs) Yeah, we only have a few months. I should call him now, actually!
What about The Slew? New album in the works?
Yes also, we’re recording it. Mike is recording vocals. Right now we’re setting up the skeletons for the tracks. We’re going through it all and finding bits that we dig and cutting it to vinyl, reassembling so it has turntable flavor but with that heavy rock thing going on as well. It’s slated for next year.”

Cheers to Derek at goodbyesoberday for posting this.

Been waiting a while for an interview like this, a big ol interview about all his projects.

Crudo – indefinitely on the shelf

Peeping Tom – potentially two more albums with album number 2 being worked on or released next year.

Tomahawk – recording in February

Nevermen – in progress

Mondo Cane – a 2nd album and a DVD will eventually see the light of day

Faith No More – the album question is breached

Thanks corym for the heads up on this http://www.sydneyfestival.org.au/2012/Music/Mike-Pattons-Mondo-Cane/

So Patton has finally managed to get MC over to this side of the globe, did a quick bit of searching and can’t find any further dates yet but I’d imagine that more may show up.

okay the title really gives you everything, this is pretty much a copy and paste from Billy’s twitter:
“This is kinda cool, my Talking Book project as the soundtrack to Rebuild 2:” http://www.kongregate.com/games/sarahnorthway/rebuild-2 

sounds pretty cool
