Have you been sitting around all summer wishing you had some cool things to watch and listen to? Well, your summer is saved because Fantômas (everyone’s favorite Mike Patton side-project) have announced that they will be releasing a DVD/live album, set for release on September 6 via Ipecac Recordings.
The Director’s Cut: A New Year’s Revolution is a brand-new DVD recording of a December 31, 2008 concert that Fantômas played at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall wherein they played their popular (and awesome) album The Director’s Cut in its entirety. For the uninitiated, The Director’s Cut was a covers album where Fantômas put their own spin on theme music from classic sci-fi, horror, and crime movies, including The Godfather, The Omen, Cape Fear, and plenty of others. The DVD also features two songs (covers of Al Green’s “Simply Beautiful” and T-Rex’s Chariot Choogle”) not originally on the Director’s Cut album along with commentary from America’s $1 Comedian, Neil Hamburger. An audio-only version of the recording will also be released for download from Ipecac’s website.
