The Melvins are on the road again later this year following the release of their new album Nude With Boots. As well as the two shows will Jello Biafra mentioned recently, the guys start an extensive tour of the US with Big Business, beginning on the 16th of July. It’s a long list, and apparently not complete, so rather than typing it all out here, I’ll just give you a… Read More »Melvins/Big Business Tour
Blair from Toolband/Army took some time today to “clarify” an email he received questioning the April Newsletter – the one about the business meeting. Here’s his response: That mentioned in the April (1) newsletter had NOTHING to do with the all-Tool issue of “Revolver” Magazine, although at this time I am still not able to disclose any further information about any decision made by the band as to whether it’s… Read More »Two Tool Projects
While I’m still not convinced of these tour rumours, word has it that Tool are playing in Dayton in August.
According to dirtyrockstar on Toolarmy, he heard them saying that Tool would be on tour soon on 97.1 (FM I presume) in Dallas. Apparently the station will be giving away tickets.

Unless of course they’re recorded something… Read More »Tool Tour Rumour

Pigmyl0vecircus from Toolarmy shared with us today a couple of clips from Tool‘s Bonnaroo show last year. They’re great quality and well worth checking out. If anyone has a full copy of this video then I’d be very interested in hearing from them…. Schism Flood
Well today I have good news and bad news for you all. Lets start with the good. According to a recent MTV interview with Maynard at the Grammys, he claims that Tool will “start writing the new Tool record right away”. Nice to have a short turnaround for a change. If this is the case the I’d say we can expect a new album in about 12 months time.

Dan emailed me today that he read in a recent copy of the New Zealand music Magazine Rip It Up: I was reading in the latest Rip It Up (NZ music mag) that reporter David Farrier happened to be on the same flight as Tool when he went to one of their shows in the States towards the end of the touring. He asked them the obvious question: “When will… Read More »NZ Tour Rumours
