Upcoming Wine and Dine (Or Just Rock) with Maynard

Posted by Mark Lore on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 12:00 PM

When Maynard James Keenan isn't busy working in his Perfect Circle or being a complete and utter Tool, he's shining up his 6,000-bottle wine collection as well as manning his own winery, Caduceus... because PBR is soooo last year.

Keenan is also making noises with his side project Puscifer, which he calls a way to tap into his creative subconscious... well, I'll let the man himself explain:

"I'm a Workaholic with a Napoleon Complex, a Wine Lover, a Musician, and all around Paranoid Conspiracy Theorist. So it should come as no surprise that all of these elements would continually try to seep out into some form of catch all "inside" project. And Puscifer is that project. The space where my Id, Ego, and Anima all come together to exchange cookie recipes. This is a space without any hard edges. It's a space with no clear or discernible goals. CHECK YOUR OVER INFLATED EXPECTATIONS AT THE DOOR. Cuz this is simply a playground for the various voices in my head. Come play with us."

YES SIR! For those who have already checked those over-inflated expectations, you can join Keenan, along with his various voices, at Roseland Theater on November 14th. While it's unlikely I will go play with them, I would really like to try the man's 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah blend, Sensei.
