Never one to sit in his yard with his feet up, Pat Mastelotto is out on the road at the moment with OrK, featuring members of Porcupine Tree and Obake. For the remaining dates the band will be appearing in Germany, London, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon.
Here’s a a great pic of Pat taken in Hamburg last week.
Meanwhile, Pat’s regular outfit, Stick Men, have turned a seeming disadvantage to an advantage with the launch of their digital Bootlegs imprint. Currently there are six recordings available to download...
The band explains, “This is an unauthorized audience recording (by an unknown person) that has been widely shared on the internet without our consent. We are now making recordings like this publicly and officially available for purposes of archiving, (our own) historical research, and for your enjoyment as a fan and collector. Each show is offered for a rather low price and the proceeds from these downloads will get split evenly between Tony, Markus, Pat, and Robert, the four people who worked as a team to make this music come alive.
We appreciate your interest and your support. We have many audience recordings lined up for this series (unauthorized audience recordings, but also Robert Frazza's board mixes, as well as many of his multi-track recordings, which still need to get mixed), and we will be adding more in good time.”
Stick Men, featuring Pat, Tony Levin and Markus Reuter, will be taking to the road in March. Click here for full details.
