aToolAhead on Toolarmy posts that: I got this info from a very (lets emphasize that…VERY) close source to someone in TOOL…that TOOL will be in UK in June/July and in Scandinavia sometime in late July. I checked with aToolAhead, and presuming he’s not making shit up, the source he mentions IS very close to the band, making the news very reliable. Simply from a logical point of view, the idea… Read More »Tool in UK June/July, Scandinavia July
Spongebob on Toolnavy shared this scan from the New Zealand Big Day Out Program Booklet.
Accordin to Isis‘ Myspace site, they’re heading out on tour in the US from March through until May. Word is that Butcher will be supporting them when the play in LA. No sign of the touring with Tool just yet. Maybe later in the year……Or better yet, maybe they’ll come down to Australia with them.
Apparently a DJ in Boise, Idaho has let it slip that they’ll have some new Tool music to play within about 3 weeks. Is he full of shit? Would some random DJ in Idaho of all places be privvy to this info? Probably not, but here’s hoping! Thanks to toolsogno on Toolarmy for that tip.

Just to keep us on our toes, Blair has also released the Tool January 2006 Newsletter, which with the help of a Ouija Board, answers some further questions on the new Tool CD. My Ouija skills are a bit rusty, but it looks as though the CD won’t be released anytime before the 4th of April. It also looks like the next release of the next Signed Lateralus Vinyl batch… Read More »Tool January 2006 Newsletter
Millermt posted recently on ToolNavy and alleged email that he recieved from Blair: Hello, As I’ve been saying, the record is still being MIXED. The band is nearly finished with this (one epic song to go), but then there is MASTERING, let alone having the CDs pressed. It’s a spring release, although you will most likely get to hear a single prior to that. I’m not sure what you mean… Read More »Letter from Blair?
The November newsletter is finally up on Toolband, and it’s a two parter. The first half is found here, while the second half is found on the Butcher website. There’s a link at the bottom of the first half just in case you miss it. http://www.toolband.com/news/letter/2005_11.php http://butcherband.com/newsletter.htm I’ve only skimmed through it, but it doesn’t look like there’s any (non-cryptic) info on the new Tool CD. Sounds interesting though, Mexico… Read More »November Newsletter
mobius maximus on Toolarmy pointed this article out to us today: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001844587 Basically, it covers the Melvins latest happenings, some details on Mike Pattons Peeping Tom project, and my favorite bit, the fact that Jello Biafra and the Melvins will be touring Australia.
