Maynard James Keenan wants to make it perfectly clear that his latest project isn't a grab for any sort of brass ring. "People will say to me, 'You should get back to doing Tool and A Perfect Circle, but I know you're probably just going for the money with Puscifer,'" the enigmatic Tool f...

Beginning November 18, Neil Hamburger will be touring with Maynard James Keenan. TMT readers might have heard of the bands Tool and A Perfect Circle, of which Mr. Keenan is the frontman. The musician seems to have a fondness for ironic American comedians, since Tool's 1996 album Ænima features samples of Bill Hicks' work on the song "Third Eye." Not that...

Puscifer’s “ V is for Viagra ” tour came to the historic Moore Theater in Seattle on November 11, 2009, an intimate setting with a little over 1,400 seats. SweetHead opened the evening with eight songs, most of them sounding identical.

Puscifer is another of Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan's side projects, but unlike his main gig or the relatively straightforward A Perfect Circle, Puscifer is a multimedia music experiment that goes wherever its creator pleases (comedy, burlesque, etc.).

Maynard James Keenan has always been one of my heros, and on the top 10 list of people I would love to meet. After spending years fronting Tool , one of the most musically experimental rock bands in the history of the genre, he decided that he had too many friends and that he wanted to play. In addition to the more popular, A Perfect Circle , Keenan spread his twisted little...

This week was pretty much dominated by Puscifer, the traveling musical carnival and brainchild of Maynard James Keenan. A simple little tweet gave us a record traffic day on Friday, so there’s no surprise what will be at #1 on this week’s busiest posts. But why stop reading at number one when numbers two through [...]

- -- it feels as uncomfortable rolling off the tongue as it does to ponder the derivatives of the name, but that is exactly the effect Maynard James Keenan seems to be going for. For a man whose career has been marked by a vast lyrical catalog of thought provoking sociopolitical commentary and careful introspection, Puscifer can only be interpreted as a sandbox for Keenan's...

Hey! Wait! That title looks awfully familiar. You mean to tell me that those troublemakers in Puscifer, the art/music/performance collective spearheaded by Maynard James Keenan of Tool/A Perfect Circle, were allowed into the Fox Theater for yet another night of mayhem, debauchery and… Wait, what’s that?
