Tori will be performing solo during her upcoming European tour!
Posted Sat, Mar 05, 2005 - 11:23pm ET | Tour
We already know that Tori has plans to tour Europe later this year after her solo U.S. tour. What was not 100% evident was whether she would be solo or with the band. Some people at the recent CD signing in The Netherlands asked Tori, and she told them she would be solo. So it looks like the European tour will feature Tori solo on stage, at least for most of the shows. (I get a few scattered reports of Tori maybe doing some European festival dates with the band, but I can not say how valid those reports are yet.)
I am also getting a lot of email from U.K. fans asking me why there are no U.K. dates on the tour schedule yet. Please be aware that the European section of The Dent's Original Sinsuality Tour Page is not complete. There will be many more dates announced than the few that are on there now. I am sure there will be some new U.K. dates. I also have a report from someone who recently saw Tori on an Irish TV chat show where she said that there would be a tour date in Dublin as well. (No details on that one yet!) The complete list of European concert dates has not been officially announced yet...

Details about Tori's interview on the morning show Arbeidsvitaminen on Radio 3FM in The Netherlands
Posted Sat, Mar 05, 2005 - 2:12pm ET | TVRadio
On Friday, March 4, 2005, Tori went to Radio 3FM in Hilversum, The Netherlands and was interviewed on the morning radio show Arbeidsvitaminen. You can see a photo of Tori with DJ Gerard who interviewed her at the Radio 3FM web site. For about a week, you can also listen to the interview online at www.3fm.nl. Once at the web site, find the menu on the left. Under "3fm on air" click on "uitzending gemist?" Then pick "Arbeidsvitaminen" (4th section) and choose Friday (which is vrijdag.) Realplayer starts up and starts playing the 3 hour broadcast. You can scroll to 2hrs 09mins where the Tori part begins. Here is a direct link that hopefully will immediately bring up the Realplayer audio stream. It was a fun interview! If anyone has a written transcription of the interview, please send it to The Dent. Thanks to Remco, Alexandra Ekkelenkamp, and choirboy87 for the details.

The Beekeeper will debut at #5 on The Billboard 200 album chart!
Posted Wed, Mar 02, 2005 - 10:28pm ET | Music
Several people emailed me with the good news that Tori's The Beekeeper will actually debut at #5 on The Billboard 200 album chart for the week of March 12, 2005! This reflects first week sales of 83,000 copies. This is revealed by an article posted at Billboard.com. (Forget what I reported earlier when I referred to hitsdailydouble.com. That sales chart does not fully factor in all the things that the official Billboard charts do.) This is Tori's fifth Top 10 debut, which is great! Here are all of Tori's albums and where they peaked on The Billboard 200 album chart. Keep in mind that despite the low peak position of Little Earthqukes, it is Tori's biggest selling album!
| Little Earthquakes | #54 |
| Under The Pink | #12 |
| Boys For Pele | #2 |
| From The Choirgirl Hotel | #5 |
| To Venus And Back | #12 |
| Strange Little Girls | #4 |
| Scarlet's Walk | #7 |
| Tales Of A Librarian | #40 |
