In-demand weird sound vocalizer Mike Patton and subdued weird sound synthesizer Christian Fennesz will kick off another European tour together tomorrow evening, February 27.

They have four dates together before splitting up for a few solo gigs. Patton's headlining shows are all with Italy's Zu, and Fennesz's are mostly festival dates. Patton fans in Brussels should note that a scheduled gig at VK for March 5 has been cancelled. But the question remains: When are these two gonna show North America some love?

Patton has also been collaborating with Dan the Automator under the name Crudo. The pair will perform at the 2008 Sasquatch! festival, running May 24-26.
