Fantomas

Fantomas

Ipecac

Imagine Mike Patton (the flapping fish guy, shut the hell up) making funny Tasmanian Devil noises over a really heavy band comprised of Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle), and Buzz Osbourne (Melvins). Very intense, heavy, hilarious short songs. Thirty of them all together. Apparently, this music was coordinated by Trevor Dunn, and fulfills all of my expectations to the max, dude. Thanks, Trevor. A side note to the idiots at the last Bungle show I saw…Hey assholes: when Fantomas come to your town, be sure to drink lots of alcohol, scream, and crowdsurf so no one who’s there to listen to the music can concentrate. Thanks.
