NewsPatton Gears Up For Fennesz CollaborationAlways willing to collaborate with eclectic artists, Mike Patton will team with experimental Austrian musician Christian Fennesz for a 12-date tour this summer, beginning May 28 at the Moers Festival in Germany. "I'm a fan of his work and mentioned that it would be fun to do sometime," Patton tells Billboard.com. "Next thing I know his manager got offers for a couple shows, then he built a tour around it -- it just appeared. Like the way most collaborations started, it was mutual admiration." So fair the pair has "traded ideas" and is planning to play after "very little rehearsal," according to Patton. The collaboration is currently planned solely for the stage, but Patton doesn't rule out a future album between the two. "No plans at the moment, but you never know," he says. 2007 will see several new Patton-released releases, two of which arrive in July: Tomahawk's "Anonymous" (which includes re-workings of traditional Native American songs) and Eyvind Kang's "Atlantis" (classical-sounding compositions for which Patton supplied vocals). Additionally, there will be a yet-to-be-titled DVD of a Kaada/Patton performance, as well as a Patton-penned soundtrack for the film "A Perfect Place." The release schedule for Patton's Ipecac label is similarly crowded through the end of the year, including projects from Hella, D?lek, Unsane, Young Gods, Goon Moon, Robert Pollard's Circus Devils, Northern State, Imani Coppola, Rahzel and a CD/DVD package with animation by the artist Dalek and music by Tom Hazelmeyer. A week after the Patton/Fennesz dates wrap up, the singer will play several shows with Peeping Tom in New Zealand and Australia. Bone Thugs Working On Album With Twista Bone Thugs-N-Harmony continue to bring the curtain down on their once nasty feud with Chicago MC Twista via the collaboration "C-Town," a track from "Strength & Loyalty," the Cleveland rap troupe's new album. And the group's Layzie Bone says there's more where that came from. "We're working on an album," Layzie tells Billboard.com, though there's no firm timetable for its release yet. "We've got, like, five, six, seven songs. Twista is our dawg, man. We're unifying the Midwest. We had problems in the beginning, but that's too long ago to bring up. We're making music, man." The artists are, in fact, anxious to put the rivalry -- which dates to the early '90s and was as much about geography as anything else -- in the past. Twista (Carl Terrell Mitchell) guested on the Layzie Bone track "Midwest Invasion," which first appeared on the 2005 X-Ray compilation "This is Hip-Hop." And Krayzie Bone joined Twista for "Spit Your Game" on last year's Notorious B.I.G. project "Duets: the Final Chapter." "It definitely was a rivalry at one time, but it was all senseless, nonsense," says Krayzie. "We were just young and not even realizing what was going on. Now we're like, 'Man, what were we even beefing about?' We don't even know -- like, who rapped the fastest or whatever. It really didn't make sense. Now we're like, instead of beefing we can make money together." As previously reported, "Strength & Loyalty" is due May 8 via Full Surface/Interscope. The group is playing spot club dates to promote the album's release, including a release-day home town show at the Cleveland House of Blues, with a larger tour expected later this year. Save |
