Faith No More Links for day…(vol. 143)
- After that mega Patton post, it would be remiss of us to omit to mention Roddy’s Imperial Teen. Unfortunately, we’re too late to mention their two most recent shows in Portland and Denver. But Roddy and co have three more dates lined up:
Aug 17
Knitting Factory
Brooklyn NY
tickets
Sept 29
Know Theatre
1120 Jackson Street
Cincinnati OH (Midpoint Music Festival)
Oct 14
Treasure Island Music Festival
San Francisco, CA
tickets
No footage from either gig has surfaced yet but here’s one short Denver fan verdict.
And the band:
- Here are some stunning and revealing interviews with Billy and Puffy from - I think – Dutch radio show Toazted from 1997:

And two more from 1995:

Part 2

Think these might be the other way around. Interesting point at the start on working on new material and some revealing insights throughout. - Meanwhile, reaction is still coming in on Faith No More‘s recent European jaunt. The Final Word have a note-perfect review of both London shows: “More than the band, tonight, I think the crowd are really rather keen. And that’s part of the rub : the audience often make the show. Tonight, if the audience are a vampire, the band are the transfusion. From the opening moments, to the final seconds of their cover of Jay-z & Kayne West’s “Niggaz In Paris”, Hammersmith is some kind of rampant, slightly overweight, slightly middle-aged, 5,000 strong orgy of jumping. “
- And London indie zine Drowned in Sound have a fetching gallery from the Brixton show:
- And here’s Bill with un peu de francais pur les gars et les filles at the Faith No More French Community

- And via faithnomoreblog, Tomahawk will play a Halloween show at the Granada Theater in Dallas on Wednesday 31 October. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased from granadatheater.com

- Via @andymalt on Twitter, the strange stats that Beluga and Grooveshark gathers on band listeners. Here’s the Faith No More page. Certainly, the geographical data seems spot on and there’s lots to play with on the other tabs. Not sure what’s the exact source though but here’s the science bit.
- We’ve featured a few Faith No More appearances on 1990s UK Channel 4 show The Word before but not sure if we posted these two together before. What a Day and I Started a Joke from March 1994.
