Mike Patton's TOMAHAWK Announce Fall Tour & Release Date For NEW 7-inch Single!

TOMAHAWK, the underground super group that includes Duane Dennison (The Jesus Lizard, Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite), Mike Patton (Mondo Cane, Faith No More) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet), have announced a brief fall tour kicking off on October 27th at Nashville's The Exit/In.

Tour dates are:

- October 27: Nashville, TN at Exit/In
- October 28: New Orleans, LA at Voodoo Music Experience
- October 29: Memphis, TN at New Daisy Theatre
- October 31: Dallas, TX at Granada Theatre
- November 1: Houston, TX at Fitzgerald's
- November: Austin, TX at Fun Fun Fun Fest

TOMAHAWK will preview music from 'Oddfellows' (January 2013, Ipecac Recordings) with the release of a 7-inch single titled "Waratorium" on Nov. 23 (Record Store Day's Black Friday event).  The b-side will be an original etching by famed cartoonist and comics scholar Ivan Brunetti.  A digital release for "Waratorium" follows a week later.

"This is a full-on Rock album," Dennison recently told Rolling Stone. "There's no quirky weirdness - it's very straightforward for us. There's almost like this weird, upbeat sound, what I call 'heavy pop," and Patton totally got the vibe right away... really heavy Beach Boys."

TOMAHAWK has been  dormant for the past five years after releasing a trio of albums: 'Tomahawk' in 2001, 'Mit Gas' in 2003 and 'Anonymous' in 2007. The band last performed live in 2003.

TOMAHAWK To Return From Hiatus; NEW Album Announced Via Trailer + Live Performance In October Announced!

Tomahawk, the eclectic Rock band featuring Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite), Mike Patton (Mondo Cane, Faith No More) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet), is set to release 'Oddfellows' this January.

“It’s dark and claustrophobic here, light and spacious there”, says Denison of the NEW album.  “Live in the studio, all together in one room. 'Oddfellows indeed'”.  'Oddfellows' was recorded at Easy Eye Sound Studio in Nashville (which is owned by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach) and co-produced by Tomahawk and Collin Dupuis (The Black Keys, The Nocturnals).

As Denison recently told Rolling Stone, Tomahawk is essentially re-launching after a lengthy hiatus.  'Oddfellows' is the band’s first NEW album in five years and marks the addition of bass player Trevor Dunn (Patton’s longtime cohort dating back to their teenage years in Mr. Bungle). Tomahawk’s first live performance in nearly a decade is slated for the New Orlean’s Voodoo Music and Arts Experience in late October. Additional dates will be announced soon, so stay tuned!
