The Original Sinsuality Tour begins tomorrow, Friday April 1, in Clearwater, FL; Toriamos.com posts about Tori's Piano bar!
Posted Fri, Apr 01, 2005 - 1:13am ET | Tour
Tori begins the solo U.S. leg of her Original Sinsuality Tour on Friday, April 1, 2005 in Clearwater, FL at Ruth Eckard Hall. As usual, The Dent will report on the set list and post reviews as soon as possible after the show. I will also be offering an Original Sinsuality Concert Review Forum (courtesy of the fine folks at Toritraders.com) where you can post your reviews and comments about the shows after they take place.
In related news, Toriamos.com has posted about Tori's Piano Bar, a concept we first heard about a few days ago from the folks at the Little Blue World fanzine. Toriamos.com confirms that Tori will be dedicating a part of each show to 'Tori's Piano Bar', when she will play cover songs requested by the fans. They say to request a song, you can go to the Gardens section of Toriamos.com and visit The Rock Garden.

European Tour news
Posted Wed, Mar 30, 2005 - 9:30am ET | Tour
I have made some changes to The Dent's Original Sinsuality Tour Page concerning the European tour. They are:
- For now, I have removed all the Italian tour dates except for the July 8, 2005 date in Naples, Italy, which has been confirmed by neapolis.it. These dates originally came from the web site of Tom McRae, who is Tori's opening act in Europe. The Italian dates have since been removed from that site. They are also not listed at Toriamos.com. They are still listed at Pollstar.com, but I have decide to remove them until I have additional proof. It is still very possible that some of these Italian dates will take place. If you hear anything at all, please email me and let me know.
- Tori's appearance at the International Istanbul Jazz Festival on July 10, 2005 has been officially announced at their web site at iksv.org. (Thanks Christoph Viethen.)
- The Montreux Jazz Festival web site at montreuxjazz.com reports that they will announce their full lineup on April 12, 2005. On the same day, at 10:00am, ticket sales will open on www.montreuxjazz.com, at all TicketCorner sales points, branches of Manor and FNAC or by phone (0900-800800). Tori plays the festival on July 1, 2005. (Thanks Carlo.)
- Tori will be playing at the Kolding Theatre in Kolding, Denmark on June 19, 2005. We knew about the date, but now we have a venue. (Thanks Eva Sandelin and Christoph Viethen.) You will be able to buy the tickets at koldingteater.dk, but some reports say that they only ship to Danish customers.
More evidence that 'Original Sinsuality' could be a new commercial single in the U.K.
Posted Wed, Mar 30, 2005 - 8:55am ET | Music
I earlier reported that the Teletext service on Channel 4 in the U.K. had stated that Original Sinsuality would be released as a Beekeeper single in the U.K. on May 30, 2005 to coincide with the start of Tori's European tour. Ryan now points out to me that the U.K. online vendor MusicMen now has a listing for an Original Sinsuality single coming out on May 30, 2005. This would seem to confirm that report.

Tori article from New York Magazine
Posted Wed, Mar 30, 2005 - 8:31am ET | Articles
The April 4, 2005 issue of New York Magazine contains a rather negative and bizarre article about Tori. The author interviewed Tori about her new album The Beekeeper, but rather than really report on the details of that interview, the author mainly talks about how she fell out of love with Tori over the years.

Posted Tue, Mar 29, 2005 - 10:57pm ET | Miscellaneous
Last Friday, March 25, 2005, marked the Dent's 9th anniversary of bringing you the latest Tori news! The Dent began on March 25, 1996.

It has been an exciting 9 years, and things are just as fun for me as I begin my 10th year of informing the Tori Internet community. Thanks for all the support you have shown this web site over the last 9 years. I could not have gotten this far without it. Happy Birthday to The Dent!
Exciting new tour info from the Little Blue World fanzine!
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 2005 - 10:50pm ET | Tour
I received the following news item from the Little Blue World fanzine:
The Tori fanzine Little Blue World talked to Tori this morning (March 29, 2005) as she was on her way to meet with the tour crew for the first time before they go on the road. She told them there would be two separate keyboard stations on the stage for this tour, one with the Bosey and a Hammond organ and the other with the Rhodes electric piano and another Hammond. She also said that in the tradition of "secret time" and "Scarlet's Bar" on earlier tours, there will be a break in the middle of the shows with "Tori's Piano Bar," when she will be performing covers like she used to when she played in bars as a teenager. Her website will have a special setup for this tour so that fans can send in requests for the piano bar before each show. She said to start thinking about what new covers you'd like to hear her perform!
The full interview with Tori will be printed in the next issue of LBW, due out in May 2005. There will be a limited number of free copies of LBW available at the merchandise table at each show on the U.S. tour as well as fliers with more information about LBW. To subscribe now and reserve your copy of the May issue, go to little-blue-world.org.

On Friday afternoon, March 4, 2005, Tori was at Radio 3FM in Hilversum, The Netherlands and performed a mini-concert for a show called That's Live that Radio 3FM broadcast on Sunday, March 27, 2005. Tori was briefly interviewed, took some questions and performed 4 songs. The Power of Orange Knickers was mentioned as the next single, but I am not sure how reliable that is.

The first segment starts at 34:49 and includes an introduction, "Sleeps With Butterflies" and "Leather". The second segment starts at 1:11 and is a five question self-quiz which includes an improv about the program.

A little uncertainty over Tori's upcoming European tour dates
Posted Sat, Mar 26, 2005 - 5:01am ET | Tour
You can find the upcoming European tour dates for summer 2005 on The Dent's Original Sinsuality Tour Page. These dates were first revealed at the web site for Tom McRae, who is opening for Tori during the European leg. Many of these dates, although not all, are also listed now at Pollstar.com. A few days ago, toriamos.com listed most of these dates as well (except the Glastonbury Festival), making them official. However, several Toriphiles have pointed out to me that the Italian tour dates have been removed from toriamos.com, which is true. I am not sure why this is the case. It most likely means the dates are not finalized and they want to wait until they are. It could also mean there will be some changes to the tour schedule during that time. We will have to wait and see. I can tell you though that Tori's July 8, 2005 date in Naples, Italy at the Neapolis Festival has been confirmed online at neapolis.it. (Thanks Richard Galbraith!) We will have to wait and see what happens. Dates not officially confirmed are marked as such on my Original Sinsuality Tour Page.
Help support Lisa Gualdoni's jump for Operation Freefall
Posted Sat, Mar 26, 2005 - 5:00am ET | RAINN
On April 30, 2005, Toriphile Lisa Gualdoni will be taking part in Operation Freefall 2005. Operation Freefall is the boldest, highest-altitude and most daring event organized to put an end to sexual assault. At dozens of airstrips across the country thousands of people will take to the sky, jump, and then float gently back to earth. This year's fifth annual Operation Freefall, which culminates National Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month, is expected to be the largest yet, with about 2,000 jumpers across the nation. Lisa Gualdoni is hoping to raise $1000 before April 1, 2005. Her funds will be donated to Speaking Out About Rape (SOAR) and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). If you would like to sponsor Lisa and help her meet goal, check out Lisa's Freefall Page. She has almost reached her goal, and you can push her over the top!

Will 'Original Sinsuality' be a new single from The Beekeeper in the U.K.?
Posted Wed, Mar 23, 2005 - 1:53am ET | Music
daneypops emailed me with this news. He says that the Teletext service on Channel 4 in the U.K. reports that Original Sinsuality would be released as a single in the U.K. on May 30, 2005 to coincide with the start of Tori's European tour. I really am surprised at this and have to wonder if it is really true, but there you go! I am not sure if this means a "commercial single" that you can buy in a store or just a radio single.
