Feb. 12, 2013, San Francisco – Mike Patton, in a rare and comprehensive interview, is on the March cover of Decibel Magazine.

“I first saw Faith No More in 1992, when the band came to my podunk hometown on the Angel Dust tour, with Helmet opening in support of Meantime.” says Decibel Editor-in-Chief Albert Mudrian. “It seems sort of fitting that we’d catch up with Mike Patton as he releases a new Tomahawk record that features former Helmet drummer John Stanier as well.”

The seven-page article, written by J. Bennett, spans the San Francisco-based musician’s history from his Eureka, Calif. roots with Mr. Bungle, on to his work with Faith No More and his move toward independence with his own Ipecac Recordings and his eclectic incarnations via Fantômas, Mondo Cane and Tomahawk amongst others. Copies are on newsstands now and can also be purchased via Decibel’s website: http://store.decibelmagazine.com/collections/back-issues/products/march-2013-101.

Tomahawk, who recently released Oddfellows, kick off their first west coast tour in a decade this evening at The Showbox in Seattle. Tomahawk is Duane Denison, Mike Patton, John Stanier and Trevor Dunn.

TOMAHAWK – Return From Hiatus With ODDFELLOWS This January; Schedule First Live Performance in Nine Years This October

Posted in Hard Rock, Music, rock albums, rock music, rock music news with tags eclectic rock, Hard Rock, mike patton, rock albums 2012, rock music news, tomahawk on June 28, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

June 28, 2012, San Francisco – 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.

Follow this link to view a trailer for the new album: http://youtu.be/ctEh2s9wcHE

“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 (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tomahawks-duane-denison-talks-new-album-20120626), 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.
