Tool will be here in July

CONCERT ALERT >>>

There are worse musical recipes to follow than Tool's emo-metal soufflé, but in the wrong hands all you get is a doughy blob. That's why we always stick with the original recipe.

Tool will whip up its intelligently spooky dish that's crisp around the edges July 10, 8 p.m., at KeyArena in Seattle.

The Grammy Award winning rock experimentalists are doing selected dates this summer in the U.S. and Canada while they work on new material for a new album rumored to be released in late 2010 or early 2011. The tour starts on June 19 in New Orleans and these are the first lives dates for Tool since the band went on hiatus a year ago.

Tickets for Tool's Seattle show are $33-$63, and go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Key Arena box office and charge by phone at 800.745.3000.
