Last week I asked what you guys planned on doing for the next Australian tour. I know that in January many of you saw more than on show, some travelled around Australia, while others saw both the Big Day Out show and a sideshow. Given that Tool are reportedly going to tour second time this year, how many shows do you plan on catching this time around? Well, most of… Read More »Poll Results: Your plans for the upcoming Australian Tour?
According to Blabbermouth, 20 people were arrested at last nights Tool gig in Holmdel, New Jersey. Apparently they were mainly for underage drinking and marijuana possession. You naughty Tool fans!

This week I ask what you plan on doing for the rumoured Australian tour later this year. Considering that Tool were last here less than 12 months ago, and are touring on the back of an album some of you consider to be sub-standard, how many shows do you plan on seeing?
Auroboros from Toolarmy emailed me today, to tell me that his Mum tells him that Tool have been booked by Frontier Touring and will be playing in Melbourne on the 9th or 10th of December. The dates sound about right based on Maynard‘s comments earlier this year, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see as to how accurate this rumour is…..
Thanks to the Tool Hotline who tell me that Chicago band Russian Circles will be supporting Tool on the three UK dates on the upcoming tour. Sounds like they got the job because Isis, Pelican and These Arms Are Snakes weren’t available, that and Justin Chancellor seemed to like their music. Check out how they got the gig in this Drowned In Sound interview, then go and have a listen… Read More »Russian Circles to support Tool in UK
Toolband/Army are reporting that Tool are playing at the Apollo Theatre in Manchester on the 23rd of August. No word yet on whether or not Oasis are supporting…..
Looks like the next act to be supporting Tool on this tour is Big Business. For those who are unfamiliar with them, they are the band that recent merged with The Melvins for the great (a) Senile Animal CD. They also have a new CD coming out called Here Come The Waterworks, and it’s pretty good. The play with Tool from the 24th of June to the 18th of July.
According to D on Alt.Music.Tool, the recent show announced for Hamilton, Ontario on the 24th of June will actually replace the show on the 25th of June at Sioux City. No official confirmation of this yet, but considering if the Sioux City show goes ahead Tool will play 6 consecutive nights, I’d say it’s unlikely……
Sorry about the lack of posts the last few days. As some of you know we’ve just moved and brought a house. The house we’ve brought needs a bit of work, so that last 4 days of my live have revolved around renovating it! Anyway, it’s all going well and now I’m back at work full time, I should have more time to spending posting stuff. In the last couple… Read More »Renovations! Tool Stuff! New Stereoscopic pics! Puscifer Video!
