Tomahawk
My Genre: Experimental Hard Rock/ Indian Rock What's this?
iTunes Genre:Screw iTunes
Who's in the band?
-Mike Patton on [Vocals], [Keyboard].
-Duane Denison on [Guitar], [Bass Guitar].
-John Stanier on [Drums].
My Experience:
Tomahawk was the first Mike Patton band that I liked. Of course, that was shortly followed by Mr. Bungle, The Dillinger Escape plan and Fantomas. But it was the first.
Because I surround myself with like-minded people, I often hear of new bands from my friends. And Tomahawk (Or Mike Patton) is no exception.
I first heard of Tomahawk from my Bass Player, and Best friend, Michael Schellenberg.
I'm a huge fan of the whole Native feel that you hear in Tomahawk, especially the song "Birdsong".
Just take a listen to some of these awesome Tomahawk songs!
Noticeable Traits:
Mike Patton has an insane voice...literally insane...
Experiment with lots of different equipment (Like using a Gas Mask with a Microphone inside)
Sometimes an Indian/Native feel, especially with the drums
Live performance is as good, if not better than the CD (Scroll down and see video for "God Hates A Coward")
Did I mention that everyone in the band is already an accomplished musician through other successful bands?

Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
