Hangin with Mike Patton Amon Tobin & Terrecon!!
Last week August 10th, Mike Patton touched down in the Mtl with his project Peeping Tom. (http://www.myspace.com/peepingtomispatton)
For y’all out of the loop, Mike Patton is the legendary and insanely versatile voice that has cemented itself in music history with Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas (with Buzz, the guitarist from the Melvins and Slayer’s Dave Lombardo on Drums) Tomahawk and has worked with Björk and beatboxing king Rahzel.
Speaking of Rahzel, he was one of the culprits in Mike Patton’s band. Peeping Tom is a mix of the old and new, silly lyrics, screaming, r n b singing (with a HAWT back up vocalist by the name of ) metal guitars, spiderman on keys, a DJ drums and a gong.
Coulda used more gong.
I checked out the show with Amon Tobin (responsible for the soundtrack to Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Ninjatune) and several unclassifiable albums of production genius) He also worked on a couple tracks for the Peeping Tom album. A barely-conscious Terrecon also accompanied us-watch out for this cat, he’s the next big thing comin’ outta Montreal!!!! Barely-conscious because he’d been up for 3 days straight, giggin’, producin’ and partyin’.
We left from Amon’s pad and took the metro-an alien concept to Amon as he usually walks or grabs a cab and Terrecon as he drives. I played gracious host and chaperone to the two, explaining the wonders of our transportation system.
After purchasing earplugs, we checked out the show which drew a solid crowd of Faith fans, Patton fans and several other strains of weirdo including Kid Kola Moondata’s Rhyna, Bluebird and Ninjatune North America honcho Jeff Waye and his wife. Mostway into the show, Terrecon could no longer stay erect so he walked back to his car. So disorientated was he that he walked all the way to Papineau from Beaudry-the opposite direction from where we came, effectively making his cracked-out journey twice as long.
Amon and I hung back to chat with Patton who was still pink from post-show blood rush. The two chatted about how they needed to work on something together from scratch as they’re both insanely busy-Patton constantly on tour, this show an off-day from their romp with ridiculously popular Gnarls Barkley, and Amon working on a new record and constantly globe trotting. All I could do is stand there in awe as two of some of my favourite musicians were shootin’ the shit.
You don’t understand.
Faith No More was a minor religion to me and the first time I heard Amon I flipped-and continue to cuz the new shit? Shit...
Anyways, I talked to Mike for a spell, catching up. Every time he’d drop in the city we’d chat, ever since I beatboxed in his ear after a Mr. Bungle show, he’d been wanting to hear more. But he’ll only get the best...I’m workin’ on it!!!
The night ended with Pizza care of Amon and him headin to his girly’s. I headed home inspired by two of the sickest kids in the game. Soon it will be my turn, mwahahahaha!!!
