Blair posted on Toolband/Army that he spoke to Danny from Australia last night. The promo tour seems to be going well, and Danny is expected back in LA tomorrow. There were many interviews given, and Blair warned us that we should expect articles in Guitar World, Revolver and Modern Drummer, and no doubt there will be others.
Volto are playing in LA once again, as usual at the Baked Potato(!) this Thursday the 9th of February. You know the drill, if you’re there, check them out, if you’re in the remaining 99.9 percent of the population, don’t go…..

For peole who like arguing over top 100 lists, here’s a list of the Top 100 Greatest Rock Drum Performances by some guy I’ve never heard of.
