1. Tomahawk are an experimental/metal/alternative rock band from the United States.

The band formed in 2000 when Fantômas, ex- Mr. Bungle and ex-Faith No More singer Mike Patton and ex-The Jesus Lizard guitar player Duane Denison started swapping tapes with the intention of collaborating. Duane Denison then recruited ex-Helmet drummer John Stanier (currently playing also with Battles), while Mike Patton brought Melvins/Cows bass player Kevin Rutmanis into the fold.

History

In 2001 the band released their first LP, the self titled Tomahawk, produced by Joe Funderburk. Tomahawk recorded their next LP, Mit Gas, with producer Joe Barresi in 2003. Both were issued by Ipecac Recordings.

Tomahawk have toured extensively, playing in many countries around the world, including the United States, Australia, Europe and Japan. They generally headline shows but have been the supporting act for bands such as Tool. They also took part in the “Geek Show” tour, which held many various artists since its inception, the most noteable of which was in Australia in Dec, 2003, which also featured labelmates Melvins and Fantômas. Tomahawk have also played on various festivals including the Big Day Out festival in Australia.

In June 2007, Tomahawk released an album that claims to be written around late 19th Century native American musical motifs. The CD is called Anonymous.

Where is ANONYMOUS?! Neither the album nor any tracks from the album are listed on this page. Major studio release! Nowhere to be found on Last.fm... wtf, seriously.

When Tomahawk released Anonymous I immediately felt reassured this band will continue to pump out the progressive alternative that I can like. My only gripe is that Tomahawk didn't tour after Anonymous... I really wanted to experience it live.
