Mike Patton is one of the most prolific artists of our time. Coming into prominence in the late '80s as the lead-vocalist from Faith No More, Patton never limited his artistic vision as he pushed boundaries and expanded his horizons, first with Mr Bungle, then with Fantomas and finally Tomahawk. But when he returns to Australia and New Zealand this June it will be in support of his most inspired and accessible work to date: Peeping Tom.

Defying traditional rock values, Peeping Tom is a fusion of hip-hop and pop where guitar is used minimally, and instead the music is driven by beats. Thought provoking - but not pretentious - there's no easy explanation to what you hear. "This is my version of pop music," Patton has declared of this project. As he wrote each track, Patton visualized his ideal collaborators. He then sent them song files and hoped for finished tracks as a form of reply.

This show is a must-see not only for fans of Mike Patton, but fans of music in general. Destroying expectations and today's definition of pop music, Peeping Tom promise to put on one of the most breathtaking shows you will see this year. With a fiercely devoted fan base, this show will sell out - don't miss your opportunity to experience Peeping Tom this June!
