History
Mike Patton is the mastermind behind this group. Mike decided to make a musical tape featuring him on all instruments. He sent the tape to his pick of a drummer, guitarist, and bassist. They recorded their parts on the tape and sent it back to him. This tape became the base for the band. And the rest is history.
Members of Fantomas
The music can only be described as unique.From subtle and precise to brutal and explosive. It is influenced equally by hardcore/death metal,cartoon music and film soundtracks. It is made up of tiny cells of music that move like frames in a comic strip. It's certainly an amalgamation of the bands from which they have emerged without sounding like any of them.
Other Projects and Bands the Members are in:
- Mike Patton- Faith No More, Mr.Bungle, Various solo projects.
- Buzz Osborne- the Melvins
- Trevor Dunn- Mr.Bungle, Various jazz projects, Collaborations with John Zorn and Others.
