A Coachella Alphabet: Peeping Tom

Peeping Tom

Name: Peeping Tom
Genre: Experimental
Day: Friday

Wikipedia sez: “Peeping Tom is an experimental collaboration album by Mike Patton. It was released May 30, 2006 on Patton’s own record label, Ipecac Recordings. The set was pieced together by swapping song files through the mail with collaborators like Norah Jones, Kool Keith and Massive Attack.”

When reading about Peeping Tom, I had a bit of a smirk as I read that they were booed off the stage three times on three separate dates when performing as the warm-up act for The Who. Headed by ex-lead singer of Faith No More Mike Patton, Peeping Tom are experimental if experimental means a metal guy singing over hip-hop beats. Sure Mike may be happy with this album, but personally it really doesn’t work, with a really messy sound due to everything sounding out of place together. I can see why they were booed.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: No thanks.
