Return to the Stage
Tomahawk performed their first live show since 2013 on July 18, 2024, opening the “A Huge Waste of Your Time and Money” tour alongside the Melvins at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. The 18-song set featured six tracks from the band’s 2021 album *Tonic Immobility*—the first live renditions of those songs. The Melvins appeared in their four-piece, two-drummer configuration, with Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover, Steven McDonald and Coady Willis.
Recent History and Album Support
Tomahawk released *Tonic Immobility* in 2021, their first album in eight years, but the COVID-19 pandemic prevented a supporting tour. Their previous joint tour with the Melvins occurred in 2003. The new tour marks the band’s first full-scale concert activity in over a decade, coinciding with a limited-edition 25th-anniversary pressing of their self-titled debut, capped at 20 copies per show.
Tour Schedule and Live Debuts
The kickoff show introduced live debuts of “SHHH!,” “Predators and Scavengers,” “Business Casual,” “Doomsday Fatigue,” “Fatback,” and “Sidewinder.” Following Nashville, the itinerary includes dates through August 15, 2024, concluding in Los Angeles at the Belasco. Notable stops: Austin (July 20, Emo’s), Dallas (July 21, Granada Theater), New Orleans (July 23, House of Blues), Chicago (August 4, Riviera Theatre), and Seattle (August 11-12, The Showbox).
