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), have announced a brief fall tour, kicking off on October 27 at Nashville's The Exit/In.

Tomahawk will preview music from their new album Oddfellows - due January 2013 via Ipecac Recordings, with the release of a 7" single titled 'Waratorium', on November 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.
“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.
