MAYNARD KEENAN Answers Questions About PUSCIFER Live Debut; Video Available

January 22, 2009

A mock press conference-style question-and-answer session with TOOL vocalist Maynard James Keenan about the forthcoming live debut of his side act PUSCIFER in Las Vegas can be viewed below. The clip, which was produced by Mike King of Flea Circus Films in Los Angeles, is said to be "sort of a 'Dr. Strangelove' spoof" and features Laura Milligan, Maynard, Paul Greenberg, Jackie Harris, Paul Koslowski, Mark Fight, and Ron Lynch. It was shot in one afternoon with no rehearsals.

TOOL vocalist Maynard James Keenan recently set February 13 and February 14 as the dates for the live debut of his side act

PUSCIFER will play three shows in Las Vegas — February 13-15 — at the 2,500-seat Pearl concert theatre at the Palms Casino.

While Keenan told The Pulse of Radio that fans shouldn't expect to see the kind of elaborate and precise stage production they experience at a TOOL gig, he also said he's not exactly sure what will happen at the shows. "There's an element of improv and jazz, you know, improv being more the comedic element and the jazz being the more musical element to this," he said. "There's not a perfectly planned out production that's been a well-oiled, well-honed machine that's been established and doing its thing constantly every night and you're constantly refining it. This is more about capturing the energy in the moment."

PUSCIFER's Las Vegas shows will reportedly feature a loose collection of musicians, comedians and other artists in a cabaret-type performance.

PUSCIFER's debut album, "V Is For Vagina", came out in the fall of 2007, followed this year by a remix collection titled "V Is For Viagra".

TOOL has been on vacation since early 2008, although Keenan said that he expects the band to begin writing a new album sometime this year.
