Tomahawk

Oddfellows

Tomahawk is back!
Where were they? What were they doing? Is this a reunion? Who are they now? What’s next?

So many questions. Here are those answers and more!

Tomahawk took a break to discover the many truths of the universe. They also uncovered several non truths. They were primarily holed up in a special place similar to the many caves in the mountains of Appalachia. They found time to create the new tunes that make up their new record “Oddfellows” that will be released worldwide in January 2013 on Ipecac Recordings.

This is not a reunion….unless that means they will make more money.

Tomahawk is Duane Denison (the Jesus Lizard, Unsemble, etc), Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantômas, etc) & John Stanier (Helmet, Battles, etc) and this time around joined by Trevor “field mouse” Dunn ( Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, etc).

The band released their self titled debut in 2001, followed by “Mit Gas” in 2003 and “Anonymous” in 2007. They released a limited edition vinyl box set “Eponymous to Anonymous” (cheeky, huh?) in early 2012. They camped out at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye studios in Nashville with Collin Dupuis and left with “Oddfellows” to show for it. To kick off the frenzy that is sure to follow they will release a one-sided 7 inch single “Stone Letter” in Nov of 2012. The b-side is an etching by reknowned cartoonist and comics scholar, Ivan Brunetti who was also kind enough to design the album package.

So what does all of this mean? Ok, we will allow this final question. It means that Tomahawk is back! Rock and roll will be saved and destroyed. They plan to play live shows for the first time since 2003 and are willing to go anywhere as long as they can get a warm bed with cold pillows, a square meal and a boatload of cash.
