According to a recent post by Blair on Toolband, he and Danny will both be on the Children of Saturn radio show next week on the 10th of January. As a UFO nut, I will certainly be tuning in to hear their take on Area 51 and such, as well as some cool tunes I bet…
Sometime over the weekend (not sure when as I was away caving) Blair posted the November Tool newsletter on Toolband. Looks like an interesting read! Haha classic: Sounds like someone cracked a fat without a franger. Nice one Blair, that New Orleans gig sounds awesome too…
In a short and to the point post on Toolband Blair confirmed the Big Day Out dates for Tool, however has made no mention of any side shows: BIG DAY OUT FESTIVAL DATES Jan 21 – Auckland Jan 23 – Gold Coast Jan 26 – Sydney Jan 30 – Melbourne Feb 4 – Adelaide Feb 6 – Perth I still expect sideshow to be announced, the question is when. As soon… Read More »Blair confirms Big Day Out, no news on sideshows
Blair’s August Tool Newsletter is now out. I’m not sure how long it’s been up since I’ve been without power for the last couple of days! I’ve only briefly read it, but it appears to revolve around an email he received from a Tool fan looking for somewhere to stay in LA. No doubt there are many codes and mysteries contained within that I expect you all to analyse and… Read More »Tool August Newsletter
Blair put out the May 2010 Tool newsletter on Toolband today, and it turns out that it’s his 10th anniversary as writer/content manager. Congratulations Blair, and despite what some say I’ve always felt he’s been an great webmaster give then guidelines he must work within. Plenty of goodies inside the newsletter, though I haven’t had a chance to read the full thing, but here’s the bit I like: Also, with… Read More »May 2010 Newsletter, LA Dates
Blair has posted a few more Tool tour dates on Toolband, this time in New Orleans, Houston and Oklahoma City. Looks like my speculation that it was a West Coast tour was incorrect. Tour page has been updated! There is a fair gap in between these shows, and the other shows confirmed in Canada, so expect quite a few more dates to be announced! Update: These dates have since been… Read More »More Tool Tour Dates

Danny, who wrote the foreword for the book will be at the party, and possibly other Tool members if I’m reading it right. You will be able to purchase the book on the night, and get it autographed,… Read More »‘Wickedest Books’ Launch Party
The November 2009 Tool Newsletter is out, though nothing is mentioned in the news about it. I’ve only vaguely read through it, but it seemed to suggest some things about the Toolarmy downtime, though in the usual Blair fashion rather than what most of you would want to read.
According to a recent post on Toolband, Danny has been holidaying in Bali, and girlfriend Rynne managed to take a snap of him playing a gamelan. Blair also hints that its “perhaps a sign of things to come?â€. If I remember correctly, the gamelan was mentioned when 10,000 Days was in the wings as well…
Blair has released the October newsletter (written before the site maintenance so it says) and it contains ten frightening moments encountered while on tour with the band. It’s actually an interesting read, so check it out on Toolband.
