More Puscifer Reviews

Maynard seems to be tweeting every decent Puscifer review at the moment, including this good one of the show in Oakland from Spinning Platters.

I also have a review from Fourtheye reader Lt. Aldo Raine.  Not sure which army he’s a member of, but he seems to like his drugs & alcohol:

When I went to Oakland last night I was there to do one thing and one thing only. Drink Whiskey. Having quickly accomplished my objective, I proceeded to get stoned. Really Stoned. I mean Godawfully stoned. I was more stoned than a fucking hippie at a bong fair. I mean… Jesus Christ hasn’t been raised on high like I was last night.

Luckily some pretty young thing by my side brought to my blitzed attention the fact that Merkin Vineyards was selling something called Chupacabra. Whiskey and wine, good decisions.

Uncle Scratch’s Gospel Revival was onstage when I arrived. Fantastic anarchic punk trash rockers. Get ur done!

Puscifer threw down a bad ass, hilarious, uplifting, dark, maddening and saddening set.The night is hazy, but highlights are Dozo, Trekka, Cuntry Boner, Undertaker, and Humbling River.

Maynard made you laugh and cry, and he did a fucking scream on Undertaker which deafened the crowd. I thought I was listening to the Grudge there for a moment, and then he screamed again. RAD.

Liked and didnt like the fact that it was seated. I was up front which was nice, but the Fox is great with General Admission. However, no complaints. Beautiful show. I am still not exactly sure what hit us. Something like an escaped convict in a Mack truck.

I’m always happy to post reviews and photo’s from Fourtheye readers, so feel free to send me an email if you have something.

I joined the KROQ street team yesterday and not only do you get presale but the general admission tix are $10 cheaper. It starts tomorrow (10-24-09) at 10:00am for the radio presale. Password is: KROQEPICENTER

This is for the Epicenter Festival in Pomona, CA on August 22nd and tickets are via Ticketmaster. Good luck getting tickets to possibly Tool‘s only West Coast gig.

Tool play Epicenter 09

Tool have been revealed as the headline act for the Epicenter Festival in Pomona, CA on August 22nd.  Other acts on the bill include Linkin Park, Alice In Chains, Wolfmother, Atmosphere, Atreyu and Tom Morello’s Street Sweeper Social Club.  Tickets go on sale this Saturday on Ticketmaster.

Presumably this is the SoCal show that Blair has hinted at before.  The gig is not yet confirmed on Toolband, but expect it to be in the near future.
