Tomahawk are an Alternative Rock band from the United States. They formed in 2000 when ex-Faith No More and Fantômas 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, while Mike Patton brought Melvins bass player Kevin Rutmanis into the fold.
History
In 2001 the band released their first LP, the self titled Tomahawk. This, and all subsequent releases to this date have been released on the Ipecac Recordings label.
In 2003, the band recorded their next LP Mit Gas with producer Joe Barrasi.
They have toured extensively, playing in many countries around the world, including the United States, Australia, Europe and Japan. They generally play headline shows but have toured with bigger bands such as Tool. They also took part in the Geek Tour which featured labelmates The Melvins and Fantômas. Tomahawk have also played on various festivals including the Big Day Out festival in Australia.
Rumours suggest that the band will be releasing a third recording sometime in 2005, though there has been no official confirmation of this.
