According to Blabbermouth, The Melvins will be touring with the band Down (featuring that douchebag from Pantera) in August and September this year. The article mentions “select U.S. markets” so I’m guessing it won’t be an extensive tour, probably just the larger cities. Dates will be posted once I get them.
This is nothing more than speculation based on Blair‘s cryptic emails, but is worth posting anyway: Sounds kinda crazy I know, but collectivejudas29 put together a good analysis of Blair’s spirit session from the February newsletter that led him to conclude Tool may be playing a show in July. It seems right to me, and more specifically it seems like they might be playing a festival. If it’s in July,… Read More »Tool to play All Good Festival?
Tickets to the Melvins gig at the Ding Dong Lounge go on sale at Moshtix Friday morning 9:00am EST. It is a small venue and I’d expect tickets to probably sell out, so if you’re planning on going, don’t delay! According to the Ding Dong Lounge they will be performing Houdini in it’s entirety and Trevor Dunn from Fantomas will be on Bass. That makes me ever more jealous of… Read More »Melvins Melbourne Tickets on sale Tomorrow!
The Melvins will be playing a few shows in Australia and New Zealand in January 2009 as described below: Word on the street is that Melvins will be playing some shows in Australia in January ’09 while Fantomas is down under doing the Big Day Out 2009 festival dates. Be sure to check Ipecac’s calendar for up to date info on Fantomas shows. These Melvins dates will most likely be… Read More »The Melvins Australia/NZ Tour Dates

According to a recent post on Toolshed: Though all has been quiet on the Tool front for some time, a promoter wrote in today to say he’s heard rumblings of possible Tool shows in 2009. We’ll keep an eye on this and keep you all posted. Personally, I could maybe see a late 2009 tour, but that would be about it. Presuming they maybe hit the recording studio soon, or… Read More »Tool Touring 2009?
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
Blair posted on Toolband/Army today an article talking about Danny‘s recent injury. Apparently he was attacked by a Sea Urchin or Scorpion Fish. Lucky it wasn’t a Sting Ray I guess… Anyway, he elaborates to say that he’s had two surgeries on the hand, and that there probably won’t be any Tool or Volto! shows for a little while.
