By the way… Some Friends of mine in the Garment industry sent out a flyer advertising the release. They received dozens of Complaints from Mothers who were offended by the word Vagina. Ironic, isn’t it? Without a vagina they wouldn’t BE mothers.

Congratulations to Maynard and his promo team for their success.

Great album he’s listening to by the way…

Updates

I’ve been back up in Queensland this week, so things have been a little slow on updates for Fourtheye. Things should return to normal next week. Here’s a couple of items that have come across my desk:

For those that have missed the various comments, there is an interview of Maynard done by Patton Oswalt. Check it out here.

Ryan tells me that he’s selling his Signed Lateralus Vinyl on eBay. Bids started at $0 so it’s quite cheap at the moment. Don’t expect it to remain that way though!!  EDIT: Link has been changed to a relisted auction!

Finally, Blair has posted on Toolband/Army about the recently discovered Salival Vinyl. He assures us it is a bootleg and in now way officially sanctioned by the band. Buyers beware! He also mentions that there are no plans for 10,000 Days vinyl, but if and when he hears there there are, he will post it.

It looks like Adam has updated some stuff on his Myspace site.  Nothing too exciting, just a couple of pics of his work.  He also apparently had this to say:

Second Puscifer Video

In order to prove that it doesn’t neccessarily take two years to create a music video, Meats Meier‘s Myspace page is reporting that he’s working on a second Puscifer video.  He describes it by saying ‘ This one is going to be extra challenging for me, but a lot of fun!’.  Thanks to mrmanback for the tip.

Thanks to badkittygothgirl for posting the link to this picture.

US Open Acts?

Posted on by

I’m asked pretty frequently if I know who the opening act for the coming US tour is.  The straight answer is that I don’t know, as far as I’m aware there hasn’t been official confirmation of any support act(s) as yet.

However, in the last couple of days there have been a few rumours lying around.  The first was that Serj Tankian from System of a Down would play a few shows with them.  For those who don’t remember, Serj joined Tool on stage in January at the Big Day Out show in Auckland.  He’s also just released his solo album Elect the Dead.  Based on his current activity, I’d say this rumour has some strength to it.

The other rumour flying around at the moment is that experimental rock band Trans Am will be supporting, and according  to the Casper Events Center website they’re booked in to support Tool for at least the show on the 23rd of November.  I haven’t heard much from these guys, but after checking out their Myspace site, it would appear they’re not to far removed from the band Battles.

Myspace Puscifer Update

Maynard gave us a Puscifer update on his Myspace site today:

Tim Alexander and I just did an interview with Bodhi from XM. We took him bowling. The prick got 5 strikes in a row and made us all look pretty impotent. “Seriously! I’ve never bowled in my life. Honest guys!” Hopefully his battered corpse will never be found. No body, no murder.
We’ve listed several of the stores across the country that are having midnight sales here…
Some are offering bonus items for the first several people in line. Not sure which yet, but we’ll list them when we know. Or you can pre-order on Amazon.com or at https://store.puscifer.com in the “Eyes and Ears” section.

Not long now…

“Don’t shoot the messenger” EP

According to the Puscifer Myspace site:

Just finished up a MySpace Artist on Artist interview with Patton Oswalt. Good to see him again. It’s been awhile. Jesus, he’s even busier than I am. Burning the candle at both ends AND right up the middle. also… Put an E.P. up on iTunes called “Don’t Shoot The Messenger.”

I just had a look on iTunes and couldn’t see any such EP.  Maybe it’ll appear later today.  Or perhaps it’s a US only thing.

Thanks to Henry for this one.  Maynard posts on his Myspace page:

Ok, music fans. Let the games begin. It’s been a long time coming and we thank you for your patience. The Cuntry Boner cd single is now available for pre-order exclusively at www.puscifer.com and will be shipped the first week of October. As promised there will be even more music to follow. We’re just now finishing up the video for Queen B and that should be up on iTunes in a few weeks. We’re also putting together a Pre-release E.P. for iTunes called “Don’t Shoot The Messenger.” We will of course keep you posted. Pop by the shopping cart for new stuff. Plenty of little items with which to stuff stockings, turkeys, and private areas. Pre-orders for the full length cd, “V is for Vagina” (In stores and on iTunes on Oct 30th. 2007) will begin shortly. So as you can see, we’ve been very very busy little bees. Damn, this is fun. You should try it. Oh, and we finally got around to putting up a U-Tube page… http://www.youtube.com/pusciferdotcom and a “friends of Puscifer” section at http://puscifermusic.com so you can check out who else has been involved. Peace. mjk

More Shred School Info, The Melvins

According to Blair, at the Shred School you can expect:

ADAM’S teaching at SHRED SCHOOL (see post below), and I’m fairly certain that he’s going to go above and beyond, bringing artwork, etc. (you know those Tool productions…), so if you’re planning on giving him an apple, make it blue, with a Star of Babalon inscibed inside.

Also mentioned is that Buzz & Dale from The Mevlins are performing at Echo in Silverlight. He doesn’t have any other details apart from that it’s a benefit gig for a friend. No idea of the date though, presumably tonight???? Thanks to perusha on Toolarmy, the gig is on the 4th of August and is with Qui and The Circle Jerks.  For those that don’t know Qui features David Yow from The Jesus Lizard.  Here’s hoping he joins The Melvins for a song or two…..
