Faith No More, the US band revered for their fusion of rock, funk, metal, hip-hop, jazz and other styles, is coming to New Zealand, according to bassist Billy Gould.

Gould, who founded the band in 1981, posted a message on Twitter this evening to say that the band will play two shows in February while on tour down under for Australia's Soundwave festival.

The longtime bassist says the band, led by the inimitable Mike Patton and famous for hits such as Epic and Ashes to Ashes, will play at Wellington's TSB Bank Arena on February 16, and at Auckland's Vector Arena on February 18th.
