Blair has once again made a couple of posts on Toolband/army. A lot of fluff but a few interesting things. Firstly Volto and Pigmy Love Circus should be playing in August, when Danny is less busy with his other band. Secondly the Pigmy’s seem to have a myspace site here. Finally, and more importantly to us Tool fans, that he’ll reveal further information on “this ‘Teleincision’ business that I keep… Read More »BMB Ramblings
A posting on Toolarmy has denied the release date advertised in certain Hastings stores in the US. One of the Tool inner circle (Kat to be exact) has denied that the 23rd of August is the release date, and that Toolarmy members will indeed be the first to hear the announcement. Good for us members I guess. For those Toolarmy members out there, feel free to PM/positively Karma me, my… Read More »Tool release date not true!
Rolling Stone (amongst others) are reporting that Billy Corgan is attempting to get the Smashing Pumpkins back together. This could potentially mean that James Iha will be departing the merry-go-round that is A Perfect Circle. Given the bad words that were said by James regarding Corgan and co, I’d personally be surprised if he jumps at the chance, but if the moneys right……
This was reported on Toolarmy today, and this guy is not the only one claiming to have seen this? So I was wandering around my local music/video/book store, Hastings today, and suddenly I had found myself step directly into the 5th deminsion. What I saw there was most bewildering. While walking by the music information desk, from the corner of my eye, under the “reserve your copy now” poster, it… Read More »The Plot Thickens
www.teleincision.com seems to be going, with a date on it 10-16-05, presumably the 16th of October. Wonder what it could mean……. Looking at the Whois details, it doesn’t appear to be registered to the usual Tool Webmasters, so I’m a little skeptical at the moment to how legitimate it is.
MTV are reporting that: The Deftones, A Perfect Circle, Cave In, Poison the Well and Melissa Auf Der Maur will contribute songs to the forthcoming tribute album to influential 1990s transcendent rock icons Failure. The album should see release sometime this fall through Renfield Records Good luck to them, and I hope it’s something other than (and better than) “The Nurse Who Loved Me” or whatever it’s called!
Volto are one of Danny Carey’s side projects, and Toolband.com reports that since Danny is “unavailable” Volto won’t be playing in June, but will be in July. Does this mean Tool will be done recording, etc by the end of June….
For those of you interested in the Barely Legal interview with Maynard, it can be found here: **************************************************** No Tool related news apparently…. Edit: Oh well, seems like the owner of that link takes exception to the link being on this site. In that case feel free to go here and find it yourself. Maybe one day if I actually get around to downloading it I’ll host it, but until… Read More »Barely Legal Interview
Toolband.com was updated today, and has to new articles, the first regarding Butcher, and the second talking about Justin Chancellor’s Lobal Orning Limited Edition T-Shirts. For those who don’t know, Butcher are a band featuring Adam’s Wife, and Tool video projectionist Camilla. Personally I’ve never heard any of their music, but they sounds interesting. Check them out at www.butcherband.com. Being as I live in Australia and haven’t been to LA,… Read More »Butcher Release “Auricle”, Lobal Orning Shirts
According to this website, Maynard will be interviewed on Friday (presumabely the 10th of June) by Joe Escalante on Barely Legal Radio. Maynard will apparently be taking questions, so get on the phone on 1-877-900-1031 or email a question to [email protected]. Personally I have no idea who this is, or what radio station we’re talking about (presumably some US University station), but it sounds good so check it out. Tune… Read More »Maynard Interview
