It’s always a special day when one of the world’s most popular musical groups comes to your city.

Tool, a band that most certainly fits such a description, is doing just that. The critically acclaimed rockers will be performing at the Reno Events Center tomorrow. Tool’s eclectic blend of progressive rock and heavy metal has won the band unprecedented worldwide critical and commercial acclaim.

The band’s live shows — which are renowned for their extensive incorporation of visual arts and enticing lighting effects — are just as loved as the band’s monolithic albums. While the band has only released four full-length albums since their inception in 1990, records such as “Ænima” and “Lateralus” contain a bevy of musical ideas that most bands fail to encapsulate in entire discographies.

Whether it is the crushing metal of “Ticks & Leeches” or the subtle musical transitions in songs such as “H.” Tool is the kind of band that manages break down genre conventions and create music with a nigh-ubiquitous appeal.
