Well I guess for "Tool-like" band you could then throw .click. and Nothingface in that category.
 
 Jack Potiental was really the only one that stood out for me. It was a surprise to see them bust out of that "Fairfax" sound and bring something better    
 
 There's a jinx about Fairfax I think...look at the bands that are from Fairfax area that get signed to big labels and just fall off. Sev, emmet swimming, Earth to Andy. I think Earth to Andy was Fairfax...

But Sev did a Pepsi Blue commercial.  Totally weird when I heard that commercial and had to remember where I had heard the song before.
 
 NOthingface now can be added to the hosed by the label catagory (though I guess they are not Fairfax based).
 
 .click. was one of the bands, Margaret Heater gets there sometimes, Meatjack, and several more that blur into one...

 Yes but SEV does not sound like Tool  :p  
 
 Margaret Heater broke up for all the best. Jason is doing a lot better in Dog Fashion Disco and Brandon is doing well with his band Bleeding the Dream, which has Keith Thompson who was the long-time bassist from .click.
