It's been a while since rock music fans have been able to catch Tool on the road, but now it seems at though this March will be their lucky chance. Yesterday (Jan. 21), Tool announced a small string of shows for this spring, the first time the band has toured North America since 2012.
In an announcement on its official website, Tool announced five concerts on the West Coast, including shows in Washington, Oregon, Nevada and California.
According to SPIN, the new tour is adding fuel to the fire that a new Tool album may be on its way, with these March dates as a way for the band to test new material on crowds. In various interviews with the music magazine, members of Tool have hinted that they were in the process of writing and working on new material since 2011, but no new album plans have come to fruition.
In July, drummer Danny Carey said a new album could be due out in 2014. "We could have the record finished by the end of the year - that's a possibility, but the logistics of getting it manufactured and getting the record company in line and all this stuff, I doubt we'll be able to get it out before Christmas," he said. "We'll see how it goes. Most likely, it'll be early 2014."
Tool have not released a new album since 2006's 10,000 Days.
