Maynard James Keenan's Puscifer Brings Variety Shows to Vegas

If it's true that there's no rest for the wicked, then winemaker, shopkeeper, grocer and famed musician Maynard James Keenan is pure hellfire. Perhaps tired of answering questions about his bands Tool and A Perfect Circle, Keenan has spent much of his time lately entangled in a spiraling music and arts collective known as Puscifer. First an album, then a retail store, and now -- finally -- three live shows.

The cabaret-style "variety shows" will be held at the Palms in Las Vegas over Valentine's Day weekend (Feb. 13-15), featuring different elements each night. It's difficult to say what to expect exactly (that's kind of the point), but as with all of Keenan's mysterious projects, just don't expect anything too normal. For further information -- and a good laugh -- please revert to the military-style mock press conference Keenan's camp posted on You Tube.

Um ... yeah.
