Nick Oliveri recently updated the Mondo Generator website with news on his current projects. The former Queens Of The Stone Age and Dwarves member recently recorded guest vocals for the new Turbonegro record. The song he appears on is titled "The Final Warning" and features a complete orchestra. Oliveri also discusses a tentative project with Casey Chaos of Amen called Suicide Pact.
Speaking of Queens Of The Stone Age, the band has pulled the remainder of their European dates as frontman Josh Homme has taken seriously ill. The band was touring Europe and were planning to perform three shows in one night in London on March 3rd, however Homme began coughing up blood in his hotel room those plans had to be postponed. There's no word yet if the band's US tour in support of their upcoming record Lullabies to Paralize will be affected.
In November and December I joined the Mark Lanegan Band for the Bubblegum tour. It was crazy!!!!! I went to Europe to open as Acoustic Tornado and ended up also playing guitar in his band as well, 25 songs in a day! I was reading off of cheat sheets, (thanks for those pages Michael.) It was pretty stressful but in the end it all worked out good and the tour was all good!
I was hoping to get started on the new Mondo Generator album with Ben Perrier and Ben Thomas of the mighty '"Winnebago Deal" but things are postponed because I'm still seeking a co producer, or I may do it myself. Also Cargo Records Germany has released Mondo Generator 3 the EP on vinyl and it is pretty bad ass looking. It is available on the store page and we also have the Nick Oliveri Demolition day / Mondo Generator 3 the EP split CD available as well. Thank you to all the artists involved in the cover contest! The finalist are going to be on the inside gatefold of the EP and the winner is going to be on the 15 song full length vinyl release of Demolition day. It was so hard to just pick one! Sorry for taking so long to release it. I'm headless right now, so until I find a new manager things will be a bit fucked!
Josh came to my house , and gave me the new QOTSA record to trip on. It's good but I can't help but know I could have added what is missing. I did sing a track on the new Turbonegro record .The song is called '"the Final Warning" and it is killer! There is a complete orchestra on this track so it is badass. Turbonegro is one of my favorite bands and it was an honor to be a part of it. Thanks Tom and the rest of the Turbojugend . I might do a project with Casey Chaos called Suicide Pact, we thought it would be good to fuck some shit up together, since that is what we would be doing anyway! , we'll see&&.. Anyways goodbye, talk to you soon!
