AVTT/PTTN, the collaborative project of Scott and Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton, will make their official live debut at Big Ears in March, but ahead of that they gave their first public performance on Tuesday night (11/25) in NYC. It was part of the Grammy Museum's "New York Evening" series, and happened at The Loreto Theater at The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture, where AVTT/PTTN played four songs off their new album and spoke with moderator Eric André.
"Mike's part of our DNA, like the fabric of our youth," stated Scott Avett of the Faith No More/Mr. Bungle singer. "Literally, we studied him. He's a dear friend now, but when we were younger, I was imitating him."
