Keenan kicks off the fall season with a debut on the David Letterman show Oct. 31, followed a week later by Puscifer’s first tour date: Nov. 7 at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. Though Tool tickets are hard to come by, Puscifer has plenty stretching into early December.

Additional tour dates include Nov. 9 at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City; Nov. 15 at the Cadillac Palace in Chicago; Nov. 18 at the Sony Centre For The Performing Arts in Toronto; and Dec. 6 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. The last Puscifer tour date is Dec. 9 at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, Ariz.

Puscifer is supporting their sophomore album, Conditions Of My Parole, which debuts Oct. 18.

Tool is coming to San Diego on July 15; Las Vegas on July 16; and Los Angeles on July 18 and 19.

Though it has been four years since Tool released their last album–10,000 Days–they have begun working on their next album. The long wait between albums is nothing new for Tool, who have released only four albums since their debut in 1993. Fortunately, there is still some time to see them before they go into hibernation again, so get your Tool tickets today!

If TOOL doesn’t make it to your city, maybe Maynard Keenan’s film screening will.  Maynard is an avid wine drinker and owns his own vineyard, Caduceus Cellars.  The film, Blood Into Wine, is a documentary telling the story of Caduceus Cellars and one Maynard’s other passion, wine making.  As a passionate wine lover myself, this movie is definitely not one to miss!

Keep checking back for more TOOL news.

The rockers, who have released only four albums since their 1993 debut, tend to take long breaks between albums, allowing time for plenty of resting, and recording, and fortunately some touring.

While fans have to go long periods without hearing new music, they are at least able to stay in sync with the band via their near-constant blog updates on their website, www.toolband.com. 

You can keep up with their releases and schedule here, but if you’re interested in where they’re hanging out and what they’re up to on a daily basis, don’t miss their website!

Epicenter 09 is So Cal’s rock explosion with two stages—the monster energy stage and the main stage. The shows begin at noon, and Tool has been called in to close the place down at 9:30 p.m.
