Cancelled Show, Isis

Posted on by

According to Blabbermouth Tool have cancelled their upcoming show in Barcelona due to “logistical” reasons.  What do they mean by “logistical”?  My guess is either the bands equipment won’t arrive in time, or someone forgot to book the bands First Class airline tickets.

Isis will be holding a launch party at the Cha-Cha Lounge in LA on the 30th of October.  According to Blair there will be give aways on the night, and entry is free.  Sounds like a good event to me, and there will even be cheap booze apparently.

Back in Black

I arrived back home in sunny Yeppoon a few hours ago and though I’d drop you all a quick line letting you know that I’m back, and that Fourth Eye will resume it’s normal programming tomorrow.  That’s not to say Charred Remains did a bad job, in fact it looks like he’s done a pretty damn good one….

The honeymoon was awesome!  Jo and I saw plenty of amazing animals in San Diego, were blinded by the lights in Vegas, scaled Hoover Dam, checked out Elton John, drove on the wrong side of the road, saw the Hollywood sign, purchased cheap booze, perfume and guitar pedals, and much much more.  I might share a few photos and some other details later.

In other news, it looks like Butcher are looking for a new bass player.  According to Camella’s Myspace site:

We are seeking a new bass player to write, record and play live with. If you love heavy music, and are looking for a project to pour your guts into, check out Butcher (http://myspace.com/butcherband) e-mail a demo of your music to: butcher@butcherband.com

Scott will always be heart and soul Butcher, and will continue to work with us in a limited capacity. Scott could not continue balancing a 90 mile drive to and from practice.

I guess the implication there is that you must be available for rehersal frequently, and presumeably either live in LA or don’t mind travelling.

Tickets to the Sydney show are still available, though they’re all pretty much on the side of the stage (I checked less that 1/2 an hour ago).  Having sat in one of these before, I gotta say they aren’t as bad as they seem, and sure beats not being there.  Get in quick!

Big Day Out put out another press release today, saying that all tickets for the Sydney ballot are now $125+bf.  He also mentions that 2,000 sales were rejected or were multiple transaction, so there will now be 12,000 Sydney tickets in the ballot, the first 2,000 going for $115+bf.  And even more interestingly he tell us that…

Tool have finalised their production specs and around 1000 new seats for Sydney will be made available soon. There will be a strict limit of 2 tickets per card/person.

All great news! If you missed out on Sydney tickets before I hope you feel lucky…

The Big Day Out sideshow page posted up the Tool sold out shows, and also stated

However be alert not alarmed, we’re expecting to announce more shows in Sydney and Melbourne shortly – stay tuned for details. Don’t buy tickets off scalpers!

And a note to the TOOL faithful in all other corners of Australasia – never fear! Additional TOOL appearances in Auckland, Queensland, Adelaide and Perth are scheduled and will be announced shortly.

Looks like this is it, I don’t think they’ll be coming back for a long time after this tour. If you missed out on the other shows, be sure to get in early for this round! Special thanks to ciab!

Bliar posted the September newsletter on Toolband/Army yesterday. As usual it doesn’t say much, but it’s quite short this time. He also gave details for an Isis release party for the new album “In The Absence Of Truth” on October 30th, if you’re in LA then be sure to check it out.

Ticketek has sold out it’s allocation to the Gold Coast Big Day Out, tickets are still available at independent stores listed and the Big Day Out website, but I don’t think they’ll last long. Thanks to mattw for the tip.

Edit: Big Day Out released another press release confriming all the tickets to Gold Coast have been sold. They held back 5000 tickets and will ballot them similar to Sydney, accept 500 per week, and all of these tickets will cost $125+bf. Same as Sydney, registrations for the ballot will open tomorrow at 9am. Good luck!

According to the The Tool Hotline, four Japanese dates have been announced for February 2007.

TOOL Japan Tour 2007

2/8 Zepp Osaka
2/9 Zepp Tokyo
2/12 Yokohama Blitz
2/14 Nagoya Diamond Hall

All venues are clubs with less than 2000 caps. The Diamond Hall in Nagoya holds 1000.

Not sure about ticket information as yet… Infact I can’t find any info anywhere else. But I’ll take their word for it.

Big Day Out sale info

The Big Day Out site updated again today detailing how the final 10,000 tickets in Sydney will be sold. Basically, they’re holding a random ballot of 1,000 tickets drawn every Thursday. The tickets in the first 5 ballots will sell for $125, then rest will be $150, plus their extortionate fees. Registrations open on Friday. It seems a kind of crap way to do it to me… but I’m generally unlucky.

The Sydney Big Day Out sold out on the first day today. Not quite sure on the time but I think it’s a record anyway. For all those that missed out I can empathise… lets hope for more to be released!

Puscifer website has been launched. It looks quite good actually, but I haven’t dug too deeply yet.

Edit: The Big Day Out website has been updated to say that 10,000 tickets were held back, and how they’re available will be known in the coming days. It also mentioned there will NOT be a 2nd Sydney show.
