 Ink 19 :: John Stanier
Most people who remember the early '90s heavy metal band Helmet, remember that they were a unique group of hardcore dudes that all had really short hair and looked like bankers, yet they played the raddest, most mind-tweaking metal music around, next to Soundgarden.
These days, John Stanier is the drummer for a band called Tomahawk, which is led by Duane Dennison of the Jesus Lizard and also features Mike Patton (do I have to tell you who Mike Patton is? I hope not) and Kevin Rutmanis of the Melvins.
To me, Tomahawk is like a pop band, when you really think about it, because each song is like a single.

Tomahawk -- which adopts the proggiest of forms, the supergroup -- is perhaps the first great prog-punk band, infusing the Escher-like rhythmic structures and meandering, drugged-out interludes of acts like King Crimson and Faust with the fiery bombast of early American hardcore punk and metal.

A radically democratic band, Tomahawk considers no element too alien: Hip hop scratching, ambient drone, and steel guitar all find a home here, but they never feel like mere decoration.

It's not as though Patton and his bandmates Duane Dennison (guitar, as well as the band's leader), John Stanier (drums), and Kevin Rutmanis (bass) are worried about their lack of accessibility.
But there does exist a viable market hungry for the type of twisted metal Tomahawk plays, and Patton acknowledges that in the opening lyric of the first track, "Birdsong": "I'll feed you now", he growls, employing one of the half-dozen vocals tics in his arsenal.

On each side of the stage were large screens that I initially thought were going to show closeups of the band, they played various film clips (probably assembled by Adam Jones) with each song.

To me, sitting around listening to records and trying to make yourself sound cooler than you are in print while slamming some poor band that actually has their ass in the grass doing something creative is a pitiful career.
Too many bands seem to think that if they have the look and attitude, they can bullshit their way into the hearts of the gullible Amerikan public, whose taste for shit knows no boundaries.
