Via the always informative Inside the Rock Poster Frame blog, details of Faith No More’s tour posters for their New Zealand and Australia shows. The big news is that the poster for the Melbourne Festival show on 25 February is being designed by one Bill Gould. Unfortunately, no image of that one yet but the posters will be on sale at those shows and later on SecretSerpents.com, which still has Europe posters on sale as well.
Here’s the Auckland poster by Brian Ewing and Buff Monster.
Billy and Roddy have just tweeted that Faith No More will play another show at the Warfield in San Francisco on 12 April after having already announced shows for the 13 and 14 April:
RODDYBOTTUM Hey!!! We’ve added a THIRD Warfield show! Monday the 12th, the third and final SF show. On sale now!
MRGOULD You know what? We’re adding a THIRD Warfield show: April 12!!!!
Courtesy of a a very welcome message from Simon in the comments, I have been alerted to the existence of the superb FNM.com YouTube channel.
The channel features the essential MTV Angel Dust sessions video, an education for FNM fans of course but also for music fans in general on the studio workings of a band on the up. Enjoy Jim in his prime, Billy the musical director, Mike P on guitar, Puffy relaxing, Roddy being kept very busy and the major v minor battle in this seminal 12-part series.
Link fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.
As you know FNM’s presale for the Warfield gig on 14 April and the added Warfield gig on 13 April sold out in a nanosecond. But don’t despair, the full release of tickets is still scheduled to take place on Sunday morning at 10am PST.
Here is the Ticketmaster link.
Oh, and a quick word of congratulations to all the regular (and new) commenters and visitors who have snaffled San Fran tickets – really looking forward to your song-by-song updates during the shows! Such a shame FNM are so unpopular in the States! And thanks also to all of you who have contributed travel advice
I have been able to order seated tickets for the 24 February show just minutes ago so get over to Ticketmaster.
Bill and Roddy have tweeted details of the presale for the band’s first US show in 13 years at the Warfield in San Francisco on 14 April.

Bill Gould, Roddy Bottum and the Soundwave festival have all just tweeted details on Faith No More’s extra Melbourne show on 24 February.
Soundwave supply all ticket details in their long tweet:
FAITH NO MORE’s 1st Melbourne Soundwave Sideshow sold out in less than 3 minutes.
With Soundwave in Melbourne also having sold out, the band set out to find another show to help appease their legion of ticketless and frustrated fans; and finally found an opportunity to do so by joining forces with fellow headliners AFI; to form what will be the greatest Soundwave Sideshow of all time. Without further ado:
