San Diego Puscifer Review

A concert review of the recent Puscifer show in San Diego has appeared on Spin

What followed felt like an X-rated episode of Hee-Haw, starring two more characters: Keenan as bumpkin crooner Billy Dee (a polyester-clad cross between Charlie Rich and Carl Perkins) and comedian Laura Milligan as his child bride/sidekick Hildy (think sexed-up Dolly Parton). And, for added ambiance, all of this played out on a detailed set of a country-style front porch.

Sounds like a cool show to me!

Puscifer to play in San Diego?

I stumble across this article this morning on SignOnSanDiego.com, talking about Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay venue in San Diego, which mentions that:

artists include Jackson Browne, LeAnn Rimes, Loggins & Messina, Carlos Mencia and Puscifer (Tool singer Maynard James Keenan), who will all be making their debuts at the intimate Shelter Island venue this year.

No further info in the article that I could see, which focuses on the venues success, and it’s policy of trying to keep concert ticket prices cheap.
