News Update

As rumored about, the working band name Tomahawk has been
chosen by the band consisting of Duane Denison, Mike Patton,
Kevin Rutmanis and John Stanier.
This band IS different from Peeping Tom. Still no official
members of Peeping Tom other than Patton and the label has
still not been chosen.
Both projects are in a rough demo stage. Both sound great!
Both are expected in 2001
