Tomahawk
are back with a new Vincent Forcier music video for Oddfellows tune
“South Paw.” The clip see’s the band member’s transformed into puppets,
something that I’m kind of surprised Mike Patton and crew haven’t done before as
it fits the bands sense of humor to a T.

Listen/Download: David Yow - "The Itch"
Scratch Acid and The Jesus Lizard's, frontman David Yow will be releasing his
first solo LP after 7 stone cold classics with his former band. Entitled, Tonight You Look Like A
Spider, the record is due out June 25th via Joyful Noise recordings.
Yow started working with Mike Patton way back in the late 90’s
before the Jesus Lizard even broke up. Yow explains:
I rented a saxophone for 2 months, I borrowed some guitars
and some drums, I rummaged through the kitchen, I squeezed a fat cat, I poked
and prodded and ended up with my very own music. It’s real good, if you like
that kind of shit. I named it Tonight You Look Like A Spider after a spider I
saw one night.
Joyful Noise recordings will release three different
versions of Tonight You Look Like A Spider: a regular black vinyl version, a
deluxe version limited to 450 hand-numbered copies on grey/black vinyl with
white splatter, and a version that comes with an actual slab of cement handmade
by Yow himself (which sold out pretty quickly)
With the Deluxe “Monolith” Vinyl Edition edition ($150,
limited to 50), each order is “handmade, hand-numbered, signed, and shipped directly to purchasers from Yow.

Video: Tomahawk – “Oddfellows”
The video for "Oddfellows" complements Tomahawk’s sound
perfectly, directed by Vincent Forcier, we
get some fun-house styled animation in the form of demented cartoon sketches of
ghouls and demons superimposed on top of distorted black and white performance
footage of the band.

Listen: Tomahawk - "Oddfellows"
We have already shared the stream and video for “Stone
Letter” from super group Tomahawk,
the musical project consisting of Duane
Dennison, Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton and JohnStanier and today we got a stream of the title track from their
forthcoming LP, Oddfellows. Likening this song even more than “Stone Letter",
some great riffs from Duane has got me excited for more.

Video: Tomahawk - "Stone Letter"
Almost two months ago we heard our first new material from super group Tomahawk, the musical project
consisting of Duane
Dennison (The Jesus Lizard,Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite), Mike
Patton (Faith
No More, Mondo Cane) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet).
The song was “Stone letter”, the lead single from the bands forth LP, due out
shortly and entitled Oddfellows, and we now have a set of visuals to go along with
it that is composed of live footage from various performances.

Listen: Tomahawk – “Stone Letter”
It’s been about six years since we have heard any new
material from super group Tomahawk, the musical project consisting of Duane Dennison (The Jesus Lizard, Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite),
Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mondo Cane) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet). The
band recently announced the release of a fourth LP, titled Oddfellows. Now, we
have a first taste of what the record will sound like, via brand new track “Stone Letter” as well as a short album preview below via youtube. The new album was described as a “full-on rock album”
by Duane Dennison, who told Rolling Stone: “There’s no quirky weirdness – it’s
very straightforward for us. There’s almost like this weird, upbeat
sound, what I call ‘heavy pop,” and Patton totally got the vibe right away…
really heavy Beach Boys.”

Scratch Acid playing Webster Hall in NYC
One of my favorite bands of all time has recently reformed for some reunion shows, Scratch Acid. Scratch Acid was an Austin, Texas noise rock group formed in 1982... The band was named by music journalist Will Lerner as "the American equivalent of the Birthday Party." For those not familiar the bands members have been involved in s slew of acts. Brett Bradford went on to form Colorado punk band Great Caesar's Ghost. They disbanded in 1993. He also formed Sangre De Toro and played with Areola 51. Washam went on to perform with many other bands, including the Big Boys, Ministry, Helios Creed, the Didjits, Lard, and Tad. In 1987, Sims and Washam joined Steve Albini in the band Rapeman, which disbanded just before Sims reunited with Yow in 1989 to form my all time favorite band The Jesus Lizard. I saw Scratch Acid about 5 years ago when they reformed to play Touch & Go’s 25 year anniversary and it was well worth the trip to Chicago to do so, make sure you catch these guys while you can.
