Mike Patton and the Avetts Launch AVTT/PTTN Tour With Faith No More, Mr. Bungle Deep Cuts

The eclectic setlists signal a reset that leans on Patton’s past catalog.

Overview

  • AVTT/PTTN opened their U.S. run with shows in Louisville and Nashville that confirmed a live format built around new songs, familiar Avett Brothers picks, and choice covers.
  • They led with AVTT/PTTN tracks like Disappearing and The Ox Driver’s Song before moving through multiple Avett Brothers staples including Ain’t No Man, No Hard Feelings, and May It Last.
  • Patton revived Faith No More’s Ashes to Ashes and Digging the Grave, which he had not performed live in more than a decade.
  • The band also played Mr. Bungle’s Retrovertigo and covered the Commodores’ Easy alongside Dean Martin, Roger Miller, and the hymn It Is Well With My Soul.
  • Recent reporting notes Patton has suggested Faith No More are inactive, and his separate band Tomahawk has announced a U.S. tour for this summer.
