Concerts with Fantômas
When Mike Patton in 2004 contacted FES, to report how much he was impressed by the band’s music, FES could not be anything else but flattered and surprised. Mike Patton, leading man of Faith No More and of many other projects / bands (Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom), has now become a legend. Patton invited FES as support act for his European tour with Fantômas. The tour ran along the greatest rock venues in Europe and the band played to sold out audiences everywhere. Patton, impressed by the enthusiasm, decided on a selection of FES material and released them on his American label IPECAC. Under the heading ISMS (IPECAC-53, 2004) he made a compilation of 19 songs from the six FES cd’s, mainly from The Armstrong Mutations and Minoes, but also from previously unreleased material, an introduction to the FES repertoire for the overseas audience, as it were. Mike Patton said about the album: "It's really unique and engaging stuff. It's going to blow people's minds."
