Adam has posted a range of new photo’s on his Myspace page, ranging from puppy pics (an new white Great Dane by the looks of things), GTA4 hilarity and some artwork (from the Lustmord release?). Check them out!
Adam's Great Dane
According to a resent image posted on Adam‘s Myspace site, the latest Lustmord album was released on the 22nd of July (thanks UncleJackson), and features artwork by A. Jones, presumably Adam.
jun2san tells us that Adam Jones has updated his Myspace page, with number of pictures of art he has done in the past, including some that seem to date back to college. He also adds the note:

News from the world of Puscifer…
New music is in the works, Maynard talking about where the collective is in the process:
“We’re starting to pull together some new pieces. Josh Eustis, Lustmord, our visiting Irish Bass Player, Tanya and I are indulging in some new ideas, old ideas, recipes, bad jokes, and the occasional 2 on 2 ball game. Not much to report quite yet, but soon.”
A behind the scenes clip from the making of the DoZo video:

As promised, Blair released the June 2008 newsletter, and this time it contains some “details” of what’s up in the Tool world. Head over to Toolband/Army to read it, but here’s my summary.
Adam is:
Danny is:
Justin is:
Maynard is:
Tool are:
So there you have it. No detail really, but we didn’t expect that.
Posted recently on Toolband/Army and Maynard’s Myspace site:
“Today Marks the 5 year anniversary of Judith Marie’s surrender to a 29
year struggle against time and gravity. Take a moment to count your
blessings. Remind yourself that life is short. (In Judith’s case, long
and painful.) Take a deep breath and allow the petty stuff to
disintegrate into dust and blow away. It’s all gonna work out. Judith’s
last wishes were that her final resting place be near me. So I brought
her ashes to my home in Arizona and spread her across the South East
facing slope so every morning she could watch the sunrise with me. Like
the Phoenix rising from the ashes, her new wings are these estate
vines. And like her, these vines are tenacious, vigorous, stubborn, and
the fruit is sexy and complex. I’m going to name this wine “Nagual del
Judith, Judith’s Cabernet Sauvignon.” Now she gets finally to travel
around the world, meet new and interesting people, and be around lots
and lots of great food. Pure Heaven.” – MJK
A fiar percentage of our readers are from the US and other countries around the world, and since things are relatively quiet on the Tool front (at least until the next issue of Revolver comes out), I though it might be a good idea to try and introduce some of our overseas guests to some of our best Australian bands. I’m not talking about AC/DC, Silverchair or Wolfmother, I mean genuinely good Aussie bands. I’m going to talk about three of my favorites, so sit back and enjoy!
The first band I want to mention are a local Adelaide band that I’m sure man of our Australian readers are quite familiar with. The Mark of Cain have been around for over 20 years, and in my opinion are the best live band in Australia. Their sound is described as a mix between Big Black, Joy Division and Helmet. The Mark of Cain were at their height of popularity in the late 90s and it may surprise some readers to hear that they are still going strong, though live shows and tours are few and far between these days. This is largely due to the fact that their drummer is ex-Helmet/Tomahawk/Battles skinsman John Stanier.
TMOC have just recently been in the recording studio working on their next album, which is expected to be released independantly later this year. Long time fan Henry Rollins is also expected to make an appearance on this album.
For those of you who want to check them out, visit their website or Myspace page. My favorite albums are This is This and Ill At Ease.
Cog are a band that many Fourtheye and Tool fans are familiar with, and there are probably many that consider them to be Australia’s answer to Tool. There are undeniable similarities between the music of the two bands, though many differences as well. I consider Cog to be much mellower than Tool, and I find the vocals a little grating at times. Having said that, i still enjoy their work, and their latest album Sharing Space (produced by Undertow producer Sylvia Massey) is probably their best to date.
Cog are currently touring around Australia, and I’m planning to see them when they hit Adelaide. You can hear some of their music at their Myspace page.
Front End Loader are another Aussie band that have been around for a while. This quirky hard rock outfit have been taking it easy for a while now, but have just released a live CD Laughing With Knives, and are playing live shows once more. Their last tour missed Adelaide, which was a bit disappointing, but hopefully next time they’ll pay us a visit. The guys are one of the best live bands around, and their drummer Pete is in my opinion Australia’s best drummer. His talents are well and truly wasted playing in Regurgitator, and FEL’s use of rhythm is the perfect showboat for his skills.
Once again, these guys have a Myspace page with some tracks you can listen to.
There are many other Aussie bands out there worth checking out, these are just the ones I enjoy the most. Off the top of my head other bands worth checking out are Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus and Bloodduster. I also have a soft spot for a couple of bands that are no longer with us – Christbait and Magnacite.
There are plenty more good bands out there, if you know of any more good Australian bands our readers should know about, then let us know why in the comments below.
According to this article at the Chicago Tribune, Maynard (as well as Perry Farrell and The Coup’s Boots and Ike Riley) will be joining the Nightwatchmen (Tom Morello’s solo acoustic show) at the gig this Thursday at Park West.
Apparently it’s mentioned on The Nightwatchmen Myspace site, but I couldn’t see it. Entry costs $10 and it all ages.
Maynard posted on his Myspace page that the DoZo video is now available on Youtube. Highlights include seeing the Maynard-like “heroes” beaten by the Puscifer ladies dildo…
A quick post from Blair today tells us that Danny doesn’t have a Myspace site, and that anyone thinking they’re talking to him via this site is mistaken. Fans wanting to contact Danny should instead use dannycarey.org.
