Soundwave 2010 - Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:44:03 +0000
I’ve been looking forward to Soundwave 2010 for quite a while now.

Forecast for the day was originally in the high 30s, but thankfully this didn’t turn [...]

Melvins Tour Details, Album Art - Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:40:21 +0000
According to an article on Limewire, the forthcoming Melvins tour will include dates with Isis, and for those shows without Isis, the Melvins will play two sets.

In a short interview with Rock Radio Maynard commented that he likes to take time between Tool albums: "Some new band, their first two records are the ones that are the freshest, ’cause they’ve had all their lives to write them. And then that third record ends up being all about the inside of a bus [...]

Patrick Slevin from The Aquarian Weekly has this week interviewed Maynard about his work with Puscifer. It?s one of the more interesting interviews I?ve read, so check it out.

Puscifer brings its quirky, dramatic brand of rock to Lincoln Theater (Washington Post) - Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT
Maynard James Keenan brought Puscifer, the most theatrical and profane of the Tool frontman's many side projects, to Lincoln Theater for two weekend shows. Friday's set opened with Keenan commanding the audience to yell "Vagina!," and never strayed too far from seventh grade. This rock opera was "Godspell" gone to hell, with a nonlinear libretto full of angry Jesus references, guns, body parts ...
