Show synopsis:

In this week’s Teeing Off, Henry examines how our nation’s leaders took advantage of our ignorance about the Middle East’s religion and culture in order to con us into the Iraq War. William Shatner sits down to reflect on a long, successful career and remember one of his most challenging roles under the direction of infamous director Roger Corman. In another edition of the animated “Drawing Conclusions”, Henry wonders at the animal world’s most skittish member—the impala. Then, Peeping Tom featuring former Faith No More lead singer Mike Patton performs “Mojo” off their self-titled album Peeping Tom also performs the song “We’re Not Alone” exclusively on IFC.com.

Interview with Patton and “We’re Not Alone” video available for viewing on Henry’s IFC site:

A four-minute video interview with former FAITH NO MORE bassist Billy Gould about his current stint as the touring guitarist for the German heavy rock/noise trio HARMFUL has been posted online at this location: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=2018072798.

Gould last year finished producing HARMFUL’s follow-up to their “Sis Masis” album (2005) at Blubox Studios in Troisdorf, Germany. Entitled “7″, the CD was released in February.

Commented Billy: “Originally, I decided to produce the band because I liked the music. Once we began working together, I realized that we had a lot in common, musically speaking. I think I can actually make a positive contribution here. What excites me about the band is the fact that it is straight-up with no pretense, while managing at the same time to throw in some beautifully twisted chord progressions. I haven’t done anything like this for almost 10 years, so this will be an adventure for me too, and isn’t that what it’s supposed to be about? Besides, this is a great band, and if my involvement helps them to expand beyond Germany, then it’s totally worth the effort.”

Tomahawk’s third release, Anonymous, links the outfit with the Native American culture that bore its name. A thirteen-track album that reverentially explores and reinterprets the darker, more recessed ancestral music created by North America’s indigenous people, the title reflects the countless individuals who contributed to these songs but went un-credited throughout history.

At the turn of the millennium, Duane Denison (U.S.S.A, ex-Jesus Lizard) toured with Hank Williams III, frequently finding himself on Indian Reservations. “I was somewhat disappointed by the Native bands.” Duane explains, “They were usually very conventional, kind of blues and country type stuff, or too much like ‘new age’ music. I figured there must be native music somewhere that was more aggressive, spookier, and more kinetic.” Duane began to research the culture’s music; about a year into his research he found books that were written around the time of Teddy Roosevelt’s presidency, a period in U.S. history when Indian culture and artifacts were in vogue. The books, dated to the early 20th century, recorded transcriptions of the songs contained herein. The titles: “Totem,” “Mescal Rite 1,” “Song of Victory” are all true to the names uncovered by the people who originally transcribed them, although Duane says “Red Fox” was altered to be more accessible. One song, “Long, Long Weary Day,” is a non-Native American “parlor song” song of the same time period, and also un-credited.

Now a three piece, Tomahawk recorded Anonymous in two-parts. Duane Denison and John Stanier (Battles, Ex-Helmet) recorded guitars and drums (respectively) in Nashville while Mike Patton (Peeping Tom, Fantômas, Ex-Faith No More) added vocals and samples at Vulcan Studios in San Francisco.

Release date: June 19, 2007
