Maynard speaks to Tonedeaf about Puscifer

Australian music site Tonedeaf recently had the opportunity to chat with Maynard about the upcoming Puscifer tour. It’s not a bad interview, though doesn’t reveal too much we didn’t already know either: Between writing, recording, and moonlighting as an actor (he’s had bit parts in cult film and television), it’s a wonder Keenan finds the time to upkeep an award-winning winery. “I’m not going to be able to dedicate twelve… Read More »Maynard speaks to Tonedeaf about Puscifer

Second Melbourne Tool show?

Terry posted on Facebook today that he noticed the recent Ticketek newsletter showed two Tool dates for Melbourne – the existing one on the 27th, and then a second on the 28th Nothing official has been announced, but it wouldn’t come as a huge shock to me to see a second show confirmed in the next few days.

Today’s presale starts at 12noon at the venues local time. Hopefully you have each signed up on the Frontier website to register for your presale code, and you’ve also registered… Read More »Will Ticketek be your Valentine?
