Tonight's TOMAHAWK Poster from Boston By Mishka Westell World Premier Exclusive




Soundcheck in Boston

Get ready Boston you are the first city to witness the return of Tomahawk to the stage for the first time since 2003 tonight.

Tomahawk is back!
Where were they? What were they doing? Is this a reunion? Who are they now? What's next?

 Tomahawk is an experimental alternative metal/alternative rock supergroup from the United States. They formed in 2000 when Fantômas, ex-Mr. Bungle and Faith No More singer/keyboardist 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 with Battles), while Mike Patton brought Melvins/Cows bass player Kevin Rutmanis into the fold. Three phenomenal recordings came from this formation. Kevin left the band in 2007, taking his place is Trevor Dunn, ex-Mr. Bungle, Fantomas player.

 Tomahawk took a break to discover the many truths of the universe. They also uncovered several non truths. They were primarily holed up in a special place similar to the many caves in the mountains of Appalachia. They found time to create the new tunes that make up their new record OddfellowS that was released worldwide in January 2013 on Ipecac Recordings.

 So what does all of this mean? It means that Tomahawk is back! Rock and roll will be saved and destroyed. They plan to play live shows for the first time since 2003 and are willing to go anywhere as long as they can get a warm bed with cold pillows, a square meal and a boatload of cash.

They are playing 5 dates in the US before heading to Europe for the summer. For those 5 dates, special posters were created for each show by different artists and the only place you will see them first is here. I will be exclusively debuting the poster for each show that night, 5 dates, 5 posters and 5 different artists. Let me tell you they all look amazing.

The poster for the show tonight in Boston is done by Mishka Westell. The poster is 18 x 24 with an edition of 150. She has been doing posters for just a few years but has a growing number of fans that love her psychedelic inspired work.  She will be selling posters after the show in her ETSY Store HERE at 10 CDT tonight

  1. Not to be a nitpicker, but your comment about them not playing live since 2003 is incorrect. Tomahawk most recently toured in February. They had killer posters by Brian Ewing, Skinner, and Anonymous Ink & Idea among others.

    Really looking forward to seeing who they have recruited for posters on this tour. Love them so far, and I'll be checking back daily to see the rest.
