There is little Mike Patton won't do, or won't dare to try, when it comes to music - the man makes ‘eclectic' look woefully inadequate.

The charismatic front-man of Faith No More has conquered art rock, metal, opera and experimental vocalising, and now returns to Australia in the sharp fedora and heavy suit of an Italian pop crooner.

Under the name Mondo Cane, Patton is backed by the joint forces of an orchestra, band and choir. Together the 25-piece ensemble takes on popular tunes of the 1950s and 60s with macho gusto and zeal.

Sit back and soak up Patton's blistering renditions of Gino Paoli's ‘Senza fine' and Gianni Morandi's ‘Ti offro da bere', as well as hits by Ennio Morricone and Elmer Bernstein.

Whether you're an aficionado of Italian style, or a sucker for Patton's punch, there's love, heartbreak and despair in these very special nights at the opulent State Theatre.
