With all the stuff regarding the recent gigs and drama surrouding Mk I of Black Sabbath, it’s easy to forget the other members from the band’s history are up to things, too. One of which is former singer Tony Martin.
Tony Martin 2012
Those who have followed me and this site for some time now know I’m a big fan of the band’s ENTIRE history. Not just one part of it. The band’s been around since 1968 in some version or another, and in all that time, there’s been about 31 people play (officially) under the banner of […]
The Cage 3 Details!
Back in 1999, Tony Martin hooked up with Italian guitarist Dario Mollo to produce a project called “The Cage”. It proved popular, so a second Cage album came out a few years later in 2002.

I beleive the wording they want us to use is […]
Headless Cross Tour Cancelled

The Tony Martin Band to tour the USA
In a move I’ve hoped would happen for some time now, I got word from Tony Martin directly that his band will be touring the USA this summer in July and August. I’ve always wanted to see the TM band, and I’ll (hopefully) finally get the chance. The idea behind the tour is to celebrate […]
Who Put the Devil in Santa?
