Puscifer with Luchafer

Among the three best-known musical collectives fronted by Maynard James Keenan, Puscifer is certainly the most experimental of the lot, and that’s saying something considering the lengths both Tool and A Perfect Circle have gone to avoid anything straightforward or mainstream in their various recordings and live shows. Keenan has called Puscifer the outlet for his subconscious, and when you buy that ticket and take that ride, expect the unexpected. At times, he’ll lead you to something beautiful and grand; at others, to places utterly disturbing and creepy. The songs on the new Puscifer album Money Shot actually lean toward the pretty, thanks to the interplay between Keenan and co-vocalist Carina Round. She’s part of the touring band on this fall run coming to Spokane, as is Ministry legend Paul Barker, so expect an aggressive, industrial edge to the proceedings.
