Faith No More to play San Francisco in April
Faith No More will play a special one-off show in the band's hometown of San Francisco on April 14 at the Warfield Theatre. Tickets for the gig go on sale on February 7. The concert will serve as a warm-up for the band's appearance the following weekend at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California. Faith No More reunited last year and has played European shows, but has yet to announce a full North American trek.
Professionally filmed video footage of Faith No More's November 1, 2009 performance at the Pepsi Music Festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina can be viewed below.
Faith No More kicked off its reunion tour on June 10, 2009 with a headlining performance at the Brixton Academy in London, England.
Original guitarist Jim Martin is not part of the reunion. Performing in his place is Jon Hudson, who played with Faith No More during the latter stages of its initial run after Martin departed.
The rest of the band's best-known lineup - singer Mike Patton, Gould, drummer Mike "Puffy" Bordin and keyboardist Roddy Bottum - is intact.
Faith No More released "The Very Best Definitive Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection" in June 2009 in the U.K. via Rhino Records.
This double disc set contains the band's greatest hits on the first CD, while the second CD features b-sides and rarities.
