It looks like Maynard James Keenan is going to take some time off from hawking his wine. Tool's headlining spot at Lollapalooza isn't the band's only show this summer--the band is heading out on a full-fledged tour.
Musical sweetheart Jenny Lewis is going on tour this summer, as well. She'll be promoting a documentary called Van Nuys that documents the making of her last record Acid Tongue. Oh, and she'll be hitting up the Granada on June 23 with The Heartless Bastards.
Maybe I'm reading the wrong articles, but I've never read anything about Kanye West dressing "gay." But he's always denying claims about it. I dunno, I've just personally never seen him in sequins and feather boas. But who knows, right?
