There is more than one artist going by the name Tomahawk
1) US Experimental Rock Band
2) Australian Emcee of 'Clandestien'
3) Chinese Metal Band
4) UK Drum & Bass Producer
1) Tomahawk are an 'experimental'/'metal'/'alternative' rock band from the United States.
The band formed in 2000 when Fantômas, ex- 'Mr. Bungle' and '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 'The 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. It is true the band has a name that speaks to images of native American-ness but this is the first release of 3 that musically embraces that tradition in its actual tunes. It is full of chants, slow drum beats, and vocal manipulations throughout. The Cd is less a Tomahawk dock record than something totally new and exciting. It is a real pleasure to hear.
In 2007, their song Capt Midnight was included in the soundtrack of the video game "The Darkness"
2) Tomahawk, one third of Perth hip hop legends 'Clandestien'. One of Australia's most respected hip hop acts, bringing a fresh and accessible musicality to the Clandestien camp without sacrificing that group's traditionally sinister undertones. Tomahawk is a member of strong selling Syllabolix Crew which includes 'Downsyde', 'Drapht', 'Layla', 'Matty B'
3) Chinese band Tomahawk (Beijing) plays Death Metal (early) - Half Thrash/Groove Metal (now).
4) Liquid Drum & Bass Producer -- Tom Kelsey aka Tomahawk does not get nearly enough credit as he deserves.
From securing a job at the mighty Hospital Records, taking over Lucy Ambache at promotions, he continued his production attempts and Hospital's eye caught his productions.
His track Milkshake featured on disc 2 of the critically acclaimed Plastic Surgery 3 and the follow up, Plastic Surgery 4 saw the track Until Dawn cut on to plate.
He has then gone on to remix YT on Public Demand/London Records, produce more music of his own, churn out a remix for London Elektricity, trap a residency at the amazing Hospitality night, every 3rd Friday of the month at Herbal while still running the promotions at Hospital. Blimey!
