According to Toolband, artwork by Justin will feature on the poster (and possibly shirt?) for the St Charles gig tonight.  It looks pretty cool:

What do you guys think?

Got an email from Kanaduh today, with plenty of pictures of Tool merchandise.  If any wants a closer photo of a specific shirt then let me know (they’re all a little blurry though).  Here’s a photo of the merchandise stand:

The limited shirts mentioned by Blair on Toolband don’t go on sale until the Cedar Park gig.  In regards to pricing, Kanaduh mentioned the following:

all shirts $40
2xlarge size $45
Old poster $5
City specific poster $25
Signed $100

I also noticed a G-String in one of his pictures for the ladies or crossdressers or Fourtheye!

Badkittygothgirl sent me a photo of the Tool tour poster she picked up at the gig.  It’s signed by all four members, and I presume for sale at the merchandise stall:

She also sent me a copy of the set list, which I won’t post here.  You can check it out in the New Orleans thread in the forum.  For those who are going to on this tour and don’t want to see the set list – rest assured you won’t be disappointed!

Also, the opening act was Wovenhand, despite what Blair said about it possibly being incorrect.

Bill sent me an email yesterday letting me know that one of the customised posters done by Adam for the 2007 tour has found it’s way onto Ebay.  The cool tour posters were based on a cool looking print, and then further customised be Adam, in this instance he drew a picture of a weird looking dude no dissimilar to one found in Tool videos.  Starting bid is $500, do be prepared to spent a bit on this…

Those with a more modest budget may be interested in Jeremy’s auction of a tour poster he picked up in Atlanta last year.  This poster is at a much more tasty $50:

A small selection of tour posters from the most recent US Tool tour is now available at the Toolband shop.  Check them out here!  Thanks to Enok for the tip…

A new Tool tour poster is now available in the Bazaar at Toolarmy (in the Stickers & More section).  It can be yours for $25.  Presumably non-Toolarmy members can buy them at Tool shows.

gaotu from Toolarmy posted a link today to this amazing Framed Tool Tour Poster on Ebay:

A few things came across my desk today, none of which are particularly exciting and warrant their own post.

Firstly, there’s a set of gig posters from the last Tool tour up on Ebay.  Located in the UK, the complete set starts at £100, or you can buy it now for £200.

Next up Blair‘s Myspace page has a few interesting photo’s added recently, the most interesting of which is a fancy neon geometric symbol, some of whom there have speculated may be a new stage prop:

Stage Prop?

Maynard has been tweeting a bit lately, suggesting that the tasting room at his vineyards will be open soon (hopefully the 4th of July).  Pics can be found in the Journal at http://www.caduceus.org/.  He also suggests he’s doing some more filming for the wine documentary Blood Into Wine.

Finally there’s a range of new pics up on Toolband, mainly from Kat’s baby shower, one of which shows Justin on the piano.  Sign of things to come?  Who knows.  Congrats to Kat!

dpddy on Toolarmy came across this cool gig poster by Adam Jones.  It’s for the upcoming Faith No More show in Moscow later this year.  Word is that Adam has also designed a poster for a coming Isis gig.

Adam has designed one of the posters for a series of gigs by the Melvins this year celebrating their 25th anniversary.  My understanding is that these posters may be available for sale at these shows.  Other posters have been designed by the likes of Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam.

The 25th Anniversary shows are:

• May 15, 2009 – New York, NY – Webster Hall
• May 16, 2009 – Boston, MA – Paradise
• May 18, 2009 – Chicago, IL – Double Door
• May 20, 2009 – Austin, TX – Emo’s
• May 22, 2009 – Seattle, WA – Showbox
• May 23, 2009 – Seattle, WA – Showbox
• May 24, 2009 – Portland, OR – Roseland

The will feature Trevor Dunn on bass and will have Houdini played in its entirety.
