Puscifer (Maynard James Keenan) - 2010 Tour Dates including their first NYC shows ever (presale)
by Klaus Kinski
My name is Maynard James Keenan. Welcome to the party that goes on in my head 24 hours a day. Welcome to PUSCIFER, my creative subconscious. Welcome to my island of misfit ideas who’ve found no home with TOOL, A PERFECT CIRCLE, or CADUCEUS. Life is too short NOT to create something with every breath we draw. Puscifer celebrates this creative process. We embrace all mediums. Music, film, cuisine, winemaking, useless stuff made in china by slaves who beat baby seals, and very specific forms of martial arts that are completely ineffective but appear mysterious and edgy. There are more mediums, but spell check doesn’t work very well on this profile thingy. Welcome to our clown car. Love, Maynard & Puscifer. Booty Bass from Jerome, Arizona.
I love Maynard James Keenan and all of his musical projects, but I am particularly intrigued by the whole Puscifer concept. Sure, it seems silly and a little schlocky, but it’s such a fun concept that I can’t help but give it huge props. Maynard is the only permanent member of the troupe, but there’s a huge cast of characters in the rotation. And comedy fans with a keen eye and a good memory might remember that Puscifer’s first documented appearance (with Maynard and Tool’s Adam Jones) as a real entity occurred in the very first episode of Mr. Show (video below). Puscifer has NEVER appeared in New York City. But that’s about to change when they play the Grand Ballroom on March 11th and then the Apollo Theater on March 13th. There’s also a TBD NYC date on March 12th. There’s a presale happening RIGHT NOW (password = METRO), but act fast because it ends in a matter of hours!
UPDATE: Tickets are now on general sale.
