I’ve always had a soft spot for the word “triumvirate”.  However, sometimes, great things come in 4, not 3.  So impressive on all four corners, I like to think of Tomahawk as a tetrarchy.  te·trar·chy noun \ˈte-ˌträr-kē, ˈtē-\ plural te·trar·chies: government by four persons ruling jointly.

Mike Patton (Faith No More/Mr. Bungle/Fantômas etc), Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard), John Stanier (Helmet/Battles) and Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle/Fantômas/Melvins) combined forces to melt faces at LA’s  Mayan Theater on February 19, 2013 in support of their new album, Oddfellows.  They opened with “God Hates a Coward” from their 2001 debut album and played a solid set pulling from all their releases, with just a few moments that gave some breathing room-  like “I.O.U.” and the George Jones cover “Just One More”.   They ended with a ferocious cover of Bad Brains “Pay To Cum”!
