Puscifer Brings Arizona Bay to Boston

Puscifer The Orpheum Boston, MA November 22, 2011 The last time Puscifer rolled through Boston in March 2010, it was at a smaller venue than the Orpheum, so the opportunities for some additional stage theatrics this time around really piqued my interest.  Maynard James Keenan and crew would not disappoint.

Hanson Toad’s Place New Haven, CT October 8, 2011 I have been to Toad’s Place, the historic New Haven concert venue, plenty of times, but I haven’t seen it this packed in a long time.  The club was buzzing with former teeny-boppers that were now all grown up and well past the age to have [...]
