- Warfield posters are on sale at Secret Serpents.
- More media love for Faith No More’s Coachella performance. Here’s the Examiner review. Sample quote: “I wanted this to be so good, and with only 50 minutes to perform, they had to nail it and nail it quickly. Good news is they did, and every song was something to be marveled at.”
- And here is Beat Crave: “Comedy aside, it was a stellar set, with the band burning through pre-Patton hits like the synth-woozed crunch of “We Care a Lot” and, of course, the slam-bang rap-rock kinetics of “Epic,” all with the energy and dedication to creating an experience that bands half their age would be hard-pressed to muster.”
- And MSN’s Reverb blog: “Singer Mike Patton, hair slicked back, dressed in a pressed red jumpsuit that matched the IMAX-screen-sized red velvet curtain behind the band, struck arm-outstretched poses like an Italian opera divo, snarling and crooning through the band’s extensive catalog. His mercurial voice was ballasted by FNM’s towering low-end rhythm section of bassist Billy Gould and drummer Mike Bordin.”
- Meanwhile, more Mondo Cane news. The Wroclaw Poland date for 22 July we previously reported has now been confirmed. Ticket details here.
- And Mike will fittingly also bring Mondo Cane to Italy, on 25 July at the Jazzin’ Festival in Milan. Tickets from ticketone.
- New Jersey’s Aquarian Weekly has a review of the Mondo Cane release, due out on 4 May: “It’s a wonderful cross section of Italian pop that the many-talented vocal acrobat has curated on this release, and Mondo Cane is a warm love letter to Italian music that Patton has highlighted for his cultish audience.”

Hope MC does at least one tour stop in the US, like he had hinted at in a previous interview. Would be amazing to see live, plus no crowd surfing!
I’ve still got to update my blog with Wednesday pics from The Warfield. Got some really good ones!! First I have to go to the doctor to see if I have a concussion or not
– loving Mike Patton is dangerous, kids!
Cheers,

It´s a pity I can´t see FNM playing in this phase of their touring. I saw them last June in Berlin, Germany. One of their first shows after 11 years of not performing together. They must be better again now.
I’d LOVE to see Mondo Cane come to the US, at least for a few shows, especially after hearing the album today.
Anyone going to the Wroclaw concert and know any details of whether the venue is indoor or outside? because it’s on a small island, located on the river in the old town part of the city centre. I can’t see any photos or a seating and standing plan anywhere online.
I’m also dying to see Mondo Cane in the US, hopefully CA. I’m seriously putting money aside in case it happens, would definitely not want to miss it!
I’m also hasty to see Mondo Cane soon in France or in Belgium =’) But, as we say here, “no news means often good news”…
