Last fall Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton teamed up with Scott and Seth Avett — aka the Avett Brothers — for a rather unexpected new band called AVTT/PTTN, sharing their self-titled debut album back in November. Following a couple of promotional appearances and some canceled gigs, Patton and the Avetts have now officially begun their tour. The tour's first two nights in Louisville on Friday and Nashville on Saturday saw them play a bunch of live debuts from AVTT/PTTN, naturally, but there was also some Faith No More and Avett Brothers sprinkled in the setlist.
Patton led AVTT/PTTN in versions of '90s Faith No More cuts "Ashes To Ashes" and "Digging The Grave," both of which he hadn't performed in over a decade. He also dusted off the Commodores' "Easy" — a song Faith No More were known for covering — as well as the Mr. Bungle song "Retrovertigo." There were also covers of Dean Martin and Roger Miller, and they wrapped things up with the folk standard "It Is Well With My Soul." See some clips from the audience below.
