Tomahawk - God Hates A Coward (live)

Tomahawk are a four piece rock and roll supergroup. The band is composed of: Mike Patton - vocals (Faith No More, Fantomas, Mr Bungle) John Stainer - drums (Helmet) Duane Dennison - guitars and Mike Nesmith-like leadership (Jesus Lizard, Hank Williams III) Kevin Rutmanis - bass (Melvins, The Cows) Tomahawk was founded by Denison and Patton in early 2000. After 10 years of touring and recording with The Jesus Lizard, Denison was living in Nashville, Tennessee where his skill and versatility had landed him a job as lead guitarist with Hank Williams III. After witnessing a Mr Bungle show in Nashville, Denison was introduced to Patton, whose list of lead vocal jobs includes bands from Mr Bungle to the late Faith No More and an estimated kabillion others inbetween. The two professed an interest in each other’s work and soon tapes were being exchanged in the mail..... The dynamic duo soon realized that in order to achieve their rock vision, others were needed. Denison enlisted John Stanier, an old friend whose swing and power on the drums he’d long admired. Stanier, aka DJ Big Bad John, quickly accepted the offer and soon tapes were exchanged in the mail... Not to be outdone, Patton enlisted bassist (and former halfway house employee) Kevin Rutmanis (Melvins) whose low frequency rumblings had power across vast stretches of space and time. With the lineup now complete, Tomahawk was born to rape the day.
