Caca Volante News

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.

Bill Gould set up a Twitter account to send updates on the band’s progress leading up to the upcoming tour. So now you can get updates directly from the band!

Bill Gould played bass on a song, on the second album of the romanian rock band “Coma”, album called “Nerostitele” (“Unspoken”). The song is named “Mai presus de cuvinte” (“Above words”, or “More than words”). Bill Gould also made an apereance on stage with Coma, on May 31 2007, in “Suburbia” club, Bucharest, Romania.

A four-minute video interview with former FAITH NO MORE bassist Billy Gould about his current stint as the touring guitarist for the German heavy rock/noise trio HARMFUL has been posted online at this location: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=2018072798.

Gould last year finished producing HARMFUL’s follow-up to their “Sis Masis” album (2005) at Blubox Studios in Troisdorf, Germany. Entitled “7″, the CD was released in February.

Commented Billy: “Originally, I decided to produce the band because I liked the music. Once we began working together, I realized that we had a lot in common, musically speaking. I think I can actually make a positive contribution here. What excites me about the band is the fact that it is straight-up with no pretense, while managing at the same time to throw in some beautifully twisted chord progressions. I haven’t done anything like this for almost 10 years, so this will be an adventure for me too, and isn’t that what it’s supposed to be about? Besides, this is a great band, and if my involvement helps them to expand beyond Germany, then it’s totally worth the effort.”

Seems like bill gould has found a new band. He seems to be the fourth member in the german band “Harmful”. Here is the original content from harmfulweb.de, for all of you who can read in german:

“05.12.06 / Da nun schon seit einer Weile ein Gerücht kursiert und wir von vielen Seiten darauf angesprochen worden sind machen wir es nun ganz offiziell. Ja, die Gerüchte sind wahr. Billy Gould, ex-FAITH NO MORE Bassist und Gründungsmitglied steigt bei HARMFUL ein. Als 4. Bandmember wird er Gitarre spielen und den HARMFUL Sound dabei um ein schönes Klangspektrum erweitern. Auf der Tour im März des kommenden Jahres wird Billy Gould schon mit dabei sein. Dort könnt Ihr Euch dann livehaftig davon überzeugen. Hier schon die 100% bestätigten Termine der “HARMFUL” Tour 2007.”

Gould is to be a guitarplayer in that band. Seems very interesting. Harmful is one of the few innovative German underground bands, successfull since several years.

We had ex Faith No More founder member and bass player Billy Gould on the telephone about the new Fear Factory record “Transgression) (which he plays on, out in August 2005) and about 7 years after the split of Faith No More. Recorded on the 2nd of August 2005.

“The time in Faith No More took a lot of energy and we had lots of pressure on us all the time. For 17 long years. It got harder and harder… It wears you down. I needed a couple of years off. If there’s only one guy of 5 that wants to go on, it ain’t gonna work. Now Faith No More is like an ex-wife. I have a drink with them once in a while, but nothing more than that.”
