My ‪@TOOLmusic‬ tribute band Arizona Bayswater learnt and performed the entirety of 2019's FEAR INOCULUM album live back in Sept 2025 and I've finally finished mixing the damn thing!

It's premiering live this Sunday, hit the link and ring the bell to be notified when it goes live. I'll be tuning in and maybe a band mate or two if you'd like to comment/heckle/question us about the show or whatever!

Catch the live premiere of Arizona Bayswater's performance of the 1992 EP OPIATE in its entirety! It's a much shorter performance than the others (obv) and the multi-track recording failed on the night so rather than let that performance be a thing of legend, here it is in all it's "best effort" glory. Watch the trailer now!

Some members of the band will try and join the chat for the premiere at 7:30pm WST (Perth time) on Dec 26.

New full band video! This is the debut show of yet another tribute band, this time paying tribute to one of my first true loves... Ben Folds Five! I celebrated by 40th birthday by performing their first record for its 30th anniversary and to prove it, I filmed and edited the show too! Check it out, nearly 2hrs of what I think is a pretty legit Ben Folds Five tribute show. Something different from the usual stuff I post.

Enjoy!

Not long until my ‪@TOOLmusic‬ tribute band performs Tool's 2019 album FEAR INOCULUM in full! Spent a lot of time internalising and getting comfortable with all the stuff Danny played on this record, it's sounding real good! Looking forward to finally performing this one live, this'll mark the final full album this band would have faithfully performed live!

My ‪@TOOLmusic‬ tribute band Arizona Bayswater performed the 2006 album 10,000 DAYS live in its entirety earlier this year in September. This is the FOURTH Tool album we have performed live and like the others, I captured the show to share as a document of what this band achieved. I think we get pretty bloody close.

Enjoy!

LIVE DEBUT of INVINCIBLE by Arizona Bayswater! Performed back in March, finally getting around to posting up the whole AENIMA show (soon) but first, here's the song we were most worried about from the encore... I think we did alright!

Edited this thing last year, only recently have the band agreed to make it public! Quite an undertaking to not only perform this much ‪@TOOLmusic‬ on drums live, but to also setup and capture this via several GoPros, organise someone to film from out front, capture the multi-track audio and then mix it all together and try and make it sound and look as good as possible (as someone who has no training in audio/video production) and have it turn out this good?! Probably my best "production" to date (and the drumming is pretty good too...).

Enjoy!
