Last weeks poll asked what was your favorite Mike Patton project? Personally I’m a Tomahawk fan, but it came as no surprise to me to see that Faith No More won the poll. Faith No More were pretty much a defining band for me as a teenager. Without them, and particularly Angel Dust I probably would never got into Heavy Music at all, and would be stuck in the purgatory… Read More »Poll Results: Favorite Mike Patton Project?

Tour dates for Peeping Tom’s trip to Australia and New Zealand have been confirmed: 16th June Auckland 19th June Brisbane 21st June Sydney 22nd June Melbourne 24th June Perth Looks like South Australians (and South Islanders!) miss out again. One less show for me to go too I suppose. I like Peeping Tom, but not… Read More »Ipecac Stuff
Since rumours of an upcoming Peeping Tom tour are being bandied around at the moment, I thought now might be a good chance to ask – what is your favorite Mike Patton project?
Here are a few Tool and Non-Tool related news items I’ve noticed in the last few days: Apparently Tool are playing on Wednesday, March 21st at the Tucson Convention Center in Tucson. Thanks to Toolshed. Tool changed their set for the Gold Coast BDO last night, dropping a newer song for an older one. Thanks Matt! Rage Against The Machine are apparently reforming and playing on the Coachella Music Festival. … Read More »Snippets
I know some people out there are interested in my opinion. If you’re not one of those, stop reading now. You won’t find (much) Tool information in this post. Since I don’t listen to every single album out there, rather than try and compile a top ten list out of the probably 11 albums I’ve listen to this year, I’m just going to post a few mini-reviews on albums that… Read More »Hellboy’s Best of 2006
Triple J are running their annual Hottest 100 again this year, and for the first time in 5 years Tool are eligable. For those who don’t know what it is, Triple J is an annual online poll in which Triple J listeners vote for their favorite 10 tracks of the year. Then, normally around Australia Day, Triple J play a countdown of the top 100 tracks. Voting is open to… Read More »Triple J Hottest 100
Some news regarding the bands Tomahawk and Fantômas was posted on Toolarmy by Bastardometer earlier today. It seems as though the new Tomahawk CD is coming eventually, and that the guys hope to record by the end of the year. The reason for the delay has been Patton’s commitments to Peeping Tom. The new CD is said to consist of versions of public domain Native American songs. Lipan Conjuring anyone?… Read More »Tomahawk in 2007, Fantômas Later
Blair made a couple of posts today, one a Toolarmy exclusive which talk about the upcoming arena tour. Firstly he suggests that Tool will be visiting the southern parts of the US not already mentioned, though this may not be until they get back from Europe/Australia. I guess this means Tool down under immediately afther the Euro tour winds up in December? Not too surprising i suppose, and a source… Read More »Tour Rumours
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. Holy shit yes!
Some non-Tool news for a change. There’s a relatively interesting, if a little short interview with Jello Biafra here, where he talks about his involvement with the Melvins. It boes on to mention that Adam Jones plays on half of the tracks on the new CD Sieg Howdy! Ipecac.com are reporting that the Melvins are releasing a ‘new’ version of Houdini in the near future. Also, Peeping Tom for mid-2006.… Read More »Jelvins, Melvins, Tomahawk and TMOC
