For those of you who have purchased tickets for the LA shows at the mis-advertised date, it seems as though tickets will be honoured. Also those with tickets for the show on the 21st will have the opportunity to get similar tickets at the other two shows.
Presumably, unless you signed to Ticketmaster with a false email address, you should have details on how to do this by now, but if you don’t I’d suggest giving them a call!
Word on the Tool Hotline in regards to tickets:
The dates were announced the evening of June 3rd and went on sale the morning of June 4th, but were subsequently pulled from Tool band and Ticketmaster. According to Ticketmaster, the ticket sales were pulled from their site by the promoter but the dates still stand and the promoter will announce a future on sale date (hopefully with more than one day’s notice!). Stay tuned.
I don’t remember them being on Toolband, perhaps they were briefly. Either way, it looks like there should be an announcement and proper sale of these tickets soon.
Anaphoria tweeted me that at the Volto! show over the weekend, John Z mentioned that there will be a Tool show in Los Angeles on the 20th of July.
In other news I found an interview with King Buzzo from the Melvins on Metalsucks.
Meats Meier has posted some cool pics of the recent LA Puscifer gig on his webpage. Check them out!
Johnny Firecloud (presumably not the dude in jail who leaked Chinese Democracy) from Antiquiet posted an extensive review of the recent LA Puscifer gig, that’s well worth reading:
Gil Sherone (of Stolen Babies & Dillinger Escape Plan) pulled back-up duty for Alexander throughout the night, laying backbeats over the rhythm and filling out the band’s sound. He turned the sticks over to Tool drummer Danny Carey, however, who played on the last song of the night, Queen B. Much as I’d like to gush over his performance, the roar of the crowd made it nearly impossible to hear the beat.
Thanks again to Bellami!
James emailed me today to let me know that Danny played with Puscifer in LA the other night. As with everything these days, it was captured in all it’s glory on a cheap camera and posted on Youtube! Thanks to decadence21 for posting it. There’s a few more videos from the night there too!
Tiresias also emailed me his review of the show on the 4th:
At the show last night. Flew down from Northern california. Seates VIP2 Balcony, row AA. Milla was sitting behind me for most of the show. Great set. Highlights:
Rev:22 Single female vocal, not Maynard; Momma Sed (sweet!), Milla’s song, (really hot, very cool vibe in L.A., and then Queen B with Danny Carey, who sat on the couch for the beginning of the song, then moved to the kit stage right (which lit up inside the kit) for the end of the song. He and Alexander were in synch and rocking out. Indigo children was another highlight, but I ram to the bar and almost ran into reznor.
Into The Presence had a great set. Rush sounding voice and a sweet guitar player. (Also played with Puscifer)
Overall an entertaining evening. Really cool vibe of Puscifer as a collective musical, comedy ensemble. Much love all around on stage after the final song. Maynard sticks to the shadows and works great with others.
Can’t wait for Tool this summer. Hoping they will swing by Outside Lands in Golden Gate at the end of the summer.
Sounds good!
Maynard is interviewed in this interesting video regarding the upcoming LA Puscifer shows, courtesy of Erin at LA Weekly. He talks about the “content” of the shows, GG Allin and make several bad jokes:
There’s also a few live tracksfrom the Vegas shows on the Puscifer website that are worth checking out. Thanks to Ruben for the tip.
Some more details of the two Los Angeles Puscifer shows have appeared on Toolband/Army:
1st Night, April 4th:
The opener is “INTO THE PRESENCE”, featuring Tim Alexander (Primus, Puscifer, A Perfect Circle, Fata Morgana, Laundry)
2nd Night, April 5th:
The opener is “SWEETHEAD”, Featuring Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of The Stone Age, A Perfect Circle)
Also reported on the site was the sad news that John Ziegler from Volto! lost his two dogs in a house fire last week. Condolences from everyone here at Fourtheye. Blair tells us to expect a benefit gig featuring many of his talented friends in the near future.
According to a recent Twit from Maynard a second LA show is to be added, and will go one sale on the 7th of March:
Adding a 2nd Show @ Nokia. April 5th. Tickets go on sale March 7th, 10a.m. PST it’s not listed on ticketmaster yet. So scalpers know nada.
