Got an email today from Rick who sent me a link to this review of a recent Puscifer gig. It’s on the Brooklyn Vegan website of all places and has some pretty cool pictures! Check it out!
A new message from Major Douche regarding the upcoming Puscifer tour:
Major Douche Eastern Assault. Spring 2010.
"In this war against complacency and the mundane, we the artists/insane must strive to re-invent, to shadowbox our paranoia, and to adapt to inevitable change while still maintaining a balanced diet. Multi tasking is at the very core of our assault. That is why we are very pleased to unveil a new level of combined art and utility during this Spring Campaign. Along with the comedic, visual, and melodic arsenal, we will also be introducing the latest form of whole body entertainment. By inserting a high fiber brown note to the equation, we will achieve not only an elevated sense of the theatrical, but also provide a non chemical, bio degradable, free range sonic digestif. Forward movement will be achieved. Bon Apetit’!!"Major Douche,
Battalion Commander.
Features some nice (audio) live stuff towards the end…

Maynard has the following to say:
Having taken this show on the road in the Fall, we now know what it will take to pull these multiple themed performances off. The last run was expensive. Keep in mind this is not really so much a band as it is a troupe of sorts. The film bits, set pieces, costuming, video equipment, extra cast members, etc are all added costs above and beyond a typical rock show. And of course to present this show requires the proper venue. We couldn’t fit this performance in to most rock venues. On top of that, we are a new band for the most part. We’re playing in venues far larger than we should be. But again, to present this show, we need the proper size space. So in a nutshell, we barely broke even. But was well worth the experience. So we wanted to take a moment to thank all who supported our efforts. Especially those fo you who purchased the Meet n Greet and Wine Class seats. If it weren’t for you few, we wouldn’t have been able to pull this thing off.
Many of you have complained in the past that the scalpers have swooped in to claim the premium seats. To help undermine their efforts, we’ve posted some of those premium seats on the website, www.puscifer.com and included the 2 packages you see listed in the shopping cart. Hopefully this will slow them down a bit. Why pay $300-$400 bucks for a scalped seat when you can get them here for less AND get to be a part of the Wine Class or Meet n Greet? Seems like a no brainer. Regardless, we appreciate the support and hope you enjoy the shows. We’ve worked very hard on the different presentations and film bits and we’re excited to show them to you all.
Reminder… We’ll be doing at least 3 if not 4 different themed performances throughout the tour. No, we aren’t going to tell you which is which and when or where. Fortune Cookies are fun and so is X-Mas morning. All we ask is that you keep an open mind and enjoy the ride.
Peace.
Good to see some effort made to combat the scalpers. Are people still convinced that Maynard is the ambivalent non-caring member of Tool?
