Mike Patton solo
I was checking out Pollstar today, and noticed that Mike Patton is going to be playing what appears to be a on-off show with John Zorn. I am familiar with Mike's projects, but haven't heard anything from his solo work.
Neither www.ipecac.com or www.mikepatton.com have anything to say about the show, so it may not be correct. I checked John Zorn's label website www.tzadik.com, and it doesn't list anything about it either. I noticed on Mike's website that he has worked with John previously, so that is a connection between the two, at least.
Has anyone seen him solo, and have any comments about it? I'm guessing it will be an interesting show, as it usually is with Mike, but I'd like to have a little more info about it.

I have not seen Patton solo, but I have heard a couple of his solo albums. YMMV on them. They have song samples on Amazon for his albums so you should check them out. I enjoy them, but I can definitely say they are not for everyone.
Will the show be at Zorn's place The Stone in NYC? I believe Patton has performed there... possibly with Zorn.

I didn't think to check out Amazon, thanks.
It's in Denver, and I imagine I'll end up going on my own. As with most Patton, except for Faith No More, I imagine it's definately not for everyone. I've played various Fantomas and Tomahawk for people, and they definately do not like it. Some will kinda get into Mr. Bungle, but that may just be for my benefit.

It sounds like it would be an interesting show.

mike patton also did a song with Teamsleep called "Kool Aid Party". It was never released on Team Sleep's official cd but you can find a copy of it online somewhere.
apparently it leaked a year before the official cd was released.

After listening to the samples on Amazon, I know I won't be purchasing either of his solo albums. I'm not sure whether or not I'll attend his show. I know it will be interesting, but I don't think I could handle an hour and a half of it.
Tomahawk, Fantomas, Bungle, etc. Sure, those are enjoyable, even if they are very strange. An hour of screeching and grunting, maybe not so much.

Which is exactly why I said:
It is very different from the majority of his other work. Now, I don't know exactly what he does with Zorn so it may be completely different.
but I can definitely say they are not for everyone.
