STG Presents Puscifer at The Moore Theatre in Seattle on Tuesday, November 10 and Wednesday, November 11, 2009.
 

Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle) brings his latest incarnation, the shape-shifting Puscifer, to cities throughout the Western U.S. this fall for an evening the Las Vegas Review Journal dubbed “a performance art spectacle equal parts comedy cabaret show, guerilla theater, lysergic animation sequences, Krautrock-inspired metallic jams and leering lunacy of various stripes.”

“Efforts to confine our beloved enigma to the Southwestern United States have been thwarted,” said Keenan. “We are compelled beyond all reason to bring the noise and share our special sauce. Although authorities suggest you be prepared for any and all possibilities, we simply suggest you arrive happy and hungry.”

While the concept for Puscifer came to Keenan in 1995, it wasn’t until 2007 that the collective released their debut album, V is for Vagina, which was followed by a remix album fittingly titled V is for Viagra. Valentine’s Day 2009 saw the live debut of the outfit, as the musicians and comedians hosted a trio of performances at The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in sin-city itself, Las Vegas.

Puscifer features a rotating cast of players involved in the recordings, which includes the aforementioned Keenan as well as Mat Mitchell, Tim Alexander, Jonny Polonsky, Danny Lohner, Gil and Rani Sharone, Lustmord, Laura Milligan, Milla Jovovich and Lisa Germano.
