Snippets

A couple of things have passed my desk today. Firstly there are a couple of new articles up on Toolband, on talking about Blair and Danny‘s trip to Maynard‘s vineyard.  Apparently this will be the covered in more detail in the next newsletter.  Blair also tells the tale of Danny losing $400 in a ATM recently after being asked for an autograph.  Oh the stories we hear when there is… Read More »Snippets

AJ Pics

There are plenty of new pics up on Adam’s Myspace page, included many Tool related shots, both live and posing in various places, many of which I haven’t seen before.  Well worth checking out!!

Melvins postpone shows

A recent post on The Melvins Myspace page tells us that some upcoming shows have had to be postponed due to illness: Due to illness with one of the band members San Diego, Pomona and both Los Angeles dates are postponed. We are in the process of rescheduling the shows and will post them when we have confirmation. Again, sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused anyone.

The Tool album Aenima was dedicated to him… Read More »Russell Crowe as Bill Hicks

Holidays!

Hi Everyone, I’m enjoying some time on the Gold Coast next week, partially for a work conference and partially for a holiday.  Hopefully I’ll be connected to the net while I’m away, and will hopefully be able to post any news that comes up, but be understanding if my responses are not a quick as they’d normally be. The good news is that normally whenever I go away, some kind… Read More »Holidays!

Toolband Updates

A couple of Toolband updates came out this morning…. Firstly Volto! (featuring Danny) are playing on the 21st of August at the Baked Potato.  Check them out if you’re in LA. Secondly Blair posted a somewhat cryptic message accompanied by a picture of a smashed laptop courtesy of Maynard.  Despite the message to not speculate, I’ve been wondering for some time if the Tool website, and or Toolarmy are due… Read More »Toolband Updates
