Conditions of My Parole video, Arizona Stronghold Tasting

Posted on October 22, 2011 by hellboy

According to a tweet from Maynard the other day, Rolling Stone will premiere the video for Conditions of My Parole on Monday morning. I expect it will follow the prison theme that seems to have dominated the artwork on the latest Puscifer album (which in case you’ve forgotten was released a few days ago!). There’s also an interview with Maynard on Artist Direct.

I came across the 20 Brix website today, which has an Arizona Stronghold wine tasting being held this Tuesday the 25th of October. The 20 Brix Wine Bar is in Milford, Ohio, and the evening will in theory feature five wines as well as food matched to the wine you’ll be tasting. Here is a little more detail:

Tuesday October 25th
Arizona Stronghold
Maynard James Keenan of the band Tool has a hand in the production of these wines.
Come taste great wines from this New World Region
6:30pm
$60

Sounds a little expensive, but if this sounds like your thing, and you live in or near Milford, check it out!

In other news, there have been some technical issues with Fourtheye which I’ve spent a little time fixing tonight. Some of you may have noticed missing comments, slow response time and timeout, but fingers crossed those issues are resolved now. Let me know if any of you have any further queries.

On The Road

Well, the time has come for me to hit the road and check out a couple of Tool shows. As a result I’ll be largely offline the next couple of days, however via the wonders of mobile technology I will probably tweet now and then.

The first A Perfect Circle gig in the USA for 2011 has just been announced at the Rock On The Range Festival in Ohio. As more dates come I shall tweet them, and post a summary of them when I’m back in front of the PC this weekend. Thanks to Toolshed1502 for the tip. My advice is keep an eye on other prominent US festivals due to be announced in the coming weeks…

Too all the Tool fans travelling to Melbourne, I hope you get there in a safe and timely manner, and hopefully I’ll be seeing you at the BBQ tomorrow afternoon!

New Tour Dates

Been away hiking through the Flinders Ranges the last couple of days, so have been a bit slack with the updates.

In case any of you have missed it, there have been a couple of new dates confirmed on the upcoming Tool summer tour. Toronto has been confirmed, and a new show in Cincinnatti has been added:

AUGUST 5/09 – Toronto, ON – Molson Amphitheatre / ON-SALE 6/13
AUGUST 7/09 – Cincinnati, OH – PNC Pavilion / ON-SALE 6/20
