Former Tool bassist Paul D'Amour celebrates his 47th Birthday today.

If you got to the Big Purple Party early enough last year then you saw the band Lesser Key which featured Paul D'Amour on bass.

Paul D’Amour played bass on Tool’s album "Undertow" and was a part of Tool from 1990 – 1995 before he decided to pursue other options. In my opinion Paul D’Amour wrote the most recognizable bass line in heavy music in the last 20 years. “Sober” is a classic, and we will get to see for ourselves here in Lubbock an original member of an iconic band.

Lesser Key is based out of LA and according to their bio on Facebook Lesser Key represents an exploration into personal and artistic freedom.
