Danny = Healed!
According to a recent post by Blair on Toolband/Army, Danny‘s hand is more or less healed and he will be playing with Volto! in July. Even better news is that “he’s that much closer to getting back to jamming with his day-job band”.
Tool Update
Blair made a post on Toolarmy over the weekend that I missed, where he briefly mentions a bit of an update on where Tool are at right now: (in regards to Tool) I still haven’t heard of any new developments with regards to last month’s meeting with the band members, their lawyers, and management. I believe this to be good news. Ditto with regards to the other band project in… Read More »Tool Update
Wings Anniversary & and message from Maynard
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… Read More »Wings Anniversary & and message from Maynard
Fourtheye Beta Site
Hi Everyone, As you know I’ve been working on redesigning Fourtheye. Well, it’s been tough working on the new design on the current site, because there are various plugins, features and widgets I want to add and remove to the new one. As a result modifying the current Fourtheye page without breaking the existing themes can be a little tricky. So, to cope with this, I’ve created a Fourtheye Beta… Read More »Fourtheye Beta Site

Tool in Guitar Hero 4?
A usually reliable source told me over the weekend that Tool will be appearing in Guitar Hero 4, with the track Schism, Vicarious and Parabola available to play. Apparently the graphics used during the songs will not be the usual seen in GH, but a conglomerate of Alex Grey artwork and the eyes from Lateralus and Aenima. More details on this as they come to hand. Sounds like fun, but… Read More »Tool in Guitar Hero 4?

Tricky Tours Australia
Tool tour mate and Parabola star Tricky is coming down to Australia to do his Trip-hoppy type stuff, and as well as playing the Splendour in the Grass festival (which is sold out), he’ll be playing several dates in the Eastern Capitals. That’s right, as usual Adelaide and Perth miss out, and I’m not sure that NZ get any love either. Here’s the dates: JULY30 – The Metro, Sydney31 –… Read More »Tricky Tours Australia
