Here is a Tomahawk show from 2001. Mike Patton was a busy guy after Faith No More broke up. He started Fantomas and recorded and album and toured behind it in 1999. Not long after that he met Duane Denison from Jesus Lizard and they started a corroboration on what became Tomahawk. They were joined but John Stanier from Helmet and Kevin Rutmanis from Cows & Melvins. Quite a paring of underground alternative music dudes.
I've been a big Patton fan since he came on my radar through FNM. The band roster for Tomahawk certainly peaked my interest. I was not disappointed when I heard their debut 2001 album. So of course catching them on tour was a no brainer.
DJ Swamp opened up which was neat I guess. What happened to that guy? The crowd was there to see Tomahawk though. I can't recall if there wasn't a positive reaction from the crowd but we only got a 47 minute set with no encores. According to Setlist.fm other cities got encores with 2 or 3 songs.
Patton doesn't usually talk a whole lot but on this night way before marijuana was legalized he goes on a "are you high Denver" spiel. Then before the last song he asks if the crowd is having a good time. Then suggest that perhaps they should go see System Of A Down next door (at the Fillmore), then he says "excuse me fuck them". Then he says 'Slayer is coming next door!!" the crowd cheers " yeah yeah yeah you're 10 years too late Denver". And suggests Slayer with out Dave Lombardo is not as good.
There has been talk for years of another Tomahawk album seeing the light of day. I would be into that.
Until then enjoy this 2001 set.
