Puscifer and Neil Hamburger at The Pabst Theater
While Puscifer may not yet be a household name among industrial-music fans, its central figure, Maynard James Keenan, certainly is. The primary force behind Tool and A Perfect Circle, Keenan imbues his solo project with a decidedly more accessible, danceable sound. Unexpectedly enough, the band's name comes from an episode of the cult sketch-comedy show Mr. Show, in which Puscifer appeared as a fictional band with Keenan as a member. A combination of Keenan's musical experimentation and his own line of clothing, Puscifer is a band and a brand at the same time. The project has officially existed for more than half a decade, but the band played its first shows only last year. For this tour, Keenan has invited Borscht Belt performance artist Neil Hamburger to be his opener, which will undoubtedly confound many in attendance.
