Aloke Dutta and his band SWATI.
According to a new post on Toolband/Army, Blair reports that Aloka Dutta has suffered a heart attack while in India and is now recovering from a grafting bypass procedure. Here’s hoping that one of Tool‘s and Danny‘s biggest influences has a speedy recovery.
According to Perusha on Toolarmy, Aloka Dutta is about to release a new CD called Spondaic Oblation. No more info than that for the moment, but I’m sure Blair will let us know more soon enough.

Anohter update on Toolband and Toolarmy indicates that: The Autographed Lateralus Vinyl is on it’s way to the printers. Now I’m not an expert on the vinyl printing industry, but I’d suggest that it’d be several weeks before this becomes available. ‘There will be plenty of advance warning’ Blair says (sort of). Aloke Dutta is playing in Norman, Oklahoma on the 19th of August and in Dallas, Texas on the… Read More »Vinyl, Aloke and Daily Grail Updates

About two years ago, I discovered RSS feeds. As simple method of streaming information and news from a correctly set up website. Shortly after that I discovered a Blog, the Living Colour Blog, which outlined the news and events of the band Living Colour. It included an RSS feed, which I find makes life very easy to collect the kind of information I wanted about the band. Today, as I… Read More »Prying Open
