Puscifer

Maynard James Keenan really needs an extra hour in his day. Aside from Tool and Perfect Circle, he performs in a third band. He calls Puscifer “a playground for the various voices in my head”. As the name suggests, there is humour involved. The band’s first album is tellingly titled ‘“V” is for Vagina’ (2007). As well as music, he also sold coffee, clothes and art. It looked a lot like an attempt to let off some steam, but the story quickly gained gravity and structure. The fictional electro-rock band becomes a steady trio, with Keenan, British singer-songwriter Carina Round and good friend Mat Mitchell (Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle). A Puscifer show lies somewhere between a concert, a circus performance and a theatre play. A life-changing experience.
