As we await Faith No More’s second weekend in Soundwave, a quick digest of some recent band news.
FLATTBUSH have announced that they will be supporting Faith No More on one of their April US tour dates. Their announcement came via No Studio in unique style:
Yes, that’s Espen J Jörgensen who collaborated with none other than Bill Gould of Faith No More on 2013’s Fugly and previously Sequential Art.
More on Fugly
Much more on Flattbush over at Bill’s Koolarrrow
More on Espen
And we’ll have more news on the FNM/Flattbush date in due course.
As we previously reported, Faith No More have been confirmed for the Friday night of the PINKPOP festival in the Netherlands on 12 June.

Here’s the promo video:
As we previously reported, Bill launched his signature ZON bass last week in Japan. Here’s a video from the guitar company of him speaking about it:
Some somewhat overlooked videos from TOKYO last week.
Mike turns the tables on phone filmers during Evidence:
Japanophile Jon Hudson plays a snippet of Japanese traditional tune Sakura
The vinyl only €15 inc shipping ? This sounds cheap ? Anyone else ?
And then I remembered I’d also ordered here

Ordered it here http://www.cede.ch/de/music/?branch_sub=4&view=detail&id=1224539&branch=1
Hope they press enough copies. It’s already at #305 in the Amazon sales rankings.
Just pre-ordered…awesome!
Oh, cool. Thank you.
I pre ordered it from Amazon.
I don’t know about digital, but Amazon has a pre-order link for the vinyl
Good point. I also hope the remix will be available digitally.
Also, while I love Kool Arrow, I’m not very big on Flatbush…some good political opinions, some I’d have some argument with, but music that just doesn’t do it for me. I would love to see CAF open a show or more and would kill to have Chuck and VUA open some shows!
When are we going to get some details about the physical release of Superhero? It’s only 3 weeks away. What about preorder on the digital copy? …not on iTunes yet.
