Band Reunion Photo Collage

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Roddy drove up to San Francisco from Los Angeles today to rehearse with the band.   He promised photos when he arrived and posted these shots of the individual members on TwitPic.  This is the closest we’ve gotten to a reunion photo so far.

Twitter! Twitter! Twitter!

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Twitter has been around for over two years, but it seems to have reached critical mass recently.

Billy Gould (@mrgould) started using it to communicate about the Faith No More reunion.  Then Roddy Bottom (@roddybottom) joined.  Even Chuck Mosley (@chuckmosley) has an account now.  With the launch of the new website, Ipecac Recordings (@ipecacrec) is now on Twitter as well.

I often come across things of interest, but don’t get around to posting them until it’s old news or I’ve forgotten about them entirely.  So, with the recent popularity of Twitter, I realized that I can send out tweets much more frequently and more timely than I can update this site.  So for fresh content, follow @CacaVolante on Twitter.

Faith No More Back on the Cover of Kerrang! Magazine

Kerrang! Magazine has always seemed to promote Faith No More more than other rock music magazines, so it comes no surprise that the news of Faith No More’s reunion would take the cover of the March 11th issue.

Kerrang! Magazine - March 3, 2009

In this week’s Kerrang! magazine we welcome back the newly reformed Faith No More! 

After an 11 year split, FNM are reforming for this year’s Kerrang!-sponsored Download festival. We chronicle how the San Franciscan nutjobs became the finest - and moist shocking - band of the ’90s!

Faith No More Paved the Way for Nirvana?

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

According to a Digital Spy interview with Krist Novoselic, bands like Faith No More “paved the way for Nirvana.”

“Living on the margins for so long, living in the underground scene it’s like: ‘Oh this will never catch on’.

“But it did, and it was starting to change where you had bands like Faith No More and Jane’s Addiction.

“They were these rock bands but they were more like alternative or edgy. Then they paved the way for Nirvana.”
