Blair tells us (I think) that there’s a couple of good shows coming up: Firstly on the 3rd of July, JZ and his Hubcap Corral will be playing at the Baked Potato. Apparently there’ll be a BBQ out the back, and Tool fans are invited. Who knows who will show up. Then, on the 20th of July, Volto! will be playing also at the Baked Potato. No word on whether… Read More »Volto! and JZ

According to Toolband/Army Lustmord will be releasing a live CD sometime soon. For all you ambient noise fans I’m sure this will be worth checking out. More details can be found on his website www.lustmord.com Opart wins the prize for the Tool BBQ jigsaw puzzle, just as soon as I work out what it is…..
Thanks to Mastodon for the inspiration for this (new album out soon – can’t wait). Here’s a jigsaw puzzle of Tool‘s crazy BBQ for you all to enjoy. First to finish it wins a (crappy) prize! http://five.flash-gear.com/npuz/puz.php?c=v&id=1524923&k=62037718
Tour dates for the US and Canada are up. These are just the confirmed ones, and Blair mentions there should be more coming soon, as well as some other things that should make certain people happy. Vicarious DVDs? More signed Vinyl? Aussie Tour dates? Limited Edition Belt Buckles? We’ll find out soon I suppose…. Hopefully for me, Tool will announce that it will be in Florida on or about the… Read More »Tour Dates
Blair has posted the May and June Newsletters, both of which I’m sure are elaborate hoaxs to put you off the scent of the hoax-hoax album that will be coming out in Smarch.
According the the recent CoSM Newsletter I received, Alex Grey will be at the Burning Man festival this year. One of the features of his display will be the Sacred Mirror banners that Tool used on their Lateralus tour. Bastardometer from Toolarmy tells me that Danny will be featured in the new Drum Magazine. The magazine will also feature tabs(?) for Vicarious on drums.
Bob2884 (and several others) from Toolarmy have said that they overheard on the radio, that Tool will be making a huge announcement regarding the US tour later this year on Monday. There also seems to be a new concert in Fresno, California on August 6 as well.   Looks like Tool might be squeezing in a few US (California only?) dates before heading off to Japan. In other tour news, I… Read More »US Tour announcement imminent? Roskilde sells out.
Menkimati from Toolarmy sent me this setlist he picked up from the recent London show. Enjoy! There’s also a coupe of posts on Toolband/Army today from Blair, one outlining Danny’s Synth collection, and another confirming a date in Amsterdam on June 27th. From memory this Amsterdam date has been floating around for a while, though nice to get confirmation.
There’s an exclusive post on Toolarmy, supposedly discussion some dreams Maynard has been having lately. In the spirit of reading too much into things, I’m going to suggest that the 24th of July is a date to watch. Here’s an excerpt for you non-TAers: I was in an old school vintage arcade playing Mr Do with David Hasslehoff and Leonard Nimoy. (I think I was drinking Dekuyper’s Spearmint Schnapps out… Read More »Maynards Dreams
