Maynard James Keenan is best known as a member of Tool and a former member of A Perfect Circle, but that may be changing as he develops his new stage show featuring his shape-shifting Puscifer project.
The multi-media cabaret style show has him doing an extensive tour of the east coast this winter.
The stage set up is described as an "x-rated episode of Hee Haw," and the shows on the tour will start in Atlanta and move across the eastern United States and Canada and the midwest until the beginning of April. Some fortunate cities will get two separate shows, with completely different music, comedy and performances.
Keenan came up with the idea for Puscifer in 1995, though it was not actually realized until 2007 with the release of their "V" Is For Vagina debut album. The band made their debut live appearance last Valentine's Day. They recently released their C Is For (Please Insert Sophomoric Genitalia Reference HERE) EP.
And who are Puscifer?
"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, Matt McJunkins, Jeff Friedl, Carina Round, Lustmord, God, Laura Milligan, Milla Jovovich Gil & Rani Sharone, Danny Lohner, Josh Eustis, and Juliette Commagere."
