In other news that I may or may not have posted before, Puscifer will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on the 16th of February, and will be performing Telling Ghosts.

Touring plans will have to be scheduled around his other big commitment, though: He can’t very well tour during harvest.

“Pretty much from August to November,” Keenan says, “I’m in the winery.”

In other Maynard news, check out him here shopping for an outfit for the Puscifer Tour:

Let the complaining commence!

Also, there’s a great photo of Justin!

Firstly, not only are the Melvins touring with Unsane, but it appears they are recording something.  A new album I guess.  Seems not all that long ago they released the last one, but I always welcome a new Melvins album!

They will be sharing the headlining slot, and the little O’s and M’s can help you determine who will be headlining on what night.  Aussies can look forward to some Mastodon shows later this month!

I did a quick Google search on some other support acts for you, and came up with the following:

• Tweak Bird & Dalek don’t seem to be doing much.
• Jakob have been recording (with Aaron Harris of ISIS I believe) and hope to have something out in April.
• Speaking of ISIS, they may or may not have broken up, who really knows!  All I know is I accidentally trolled Aaron’s Facebook page thinking it was someone else!
• As previously noted Meshuggah are doing a few tours, and are also putting an album out shorty.
• Tomahawk are supposedly recording very soon (February is what I heard).

And that’s about all I could come up with.  Enjoy your weekend!

Update: Since you can’t keep a good thread down:

• Wovenhand don’t seem to be doing much, but have a date in Denver in March
• Melt Banana seems to be playing some shows in Japan, having toured the US last year.

Anyone stuck their tour poster under a UV lamp yet?

NOTE THE NEWSLETTER CONTAINS SETLIST SPOILERS

We are currently working on some form of reciprocal exchange. Almost 100% of the copyright infringement on uTube from other channels never gives a nod to the source. No mention of www.puscifer.com or www.youtube.com/pusciferdotcom being the official channels for Puscifer, Caduceus, A Perfect Circle, and Tool. No traffic is sent our way. This recent barrage of cease and desist notices is an attempt to correct this. People/artists doing videos using our work without permission deliver an added sting when they don’t even mention our sites. We are independent. We NEED the traffic to OUR URL’s and channels to survive as an independent project. So some form of reciprocating gesture needs to be put in place for us not to be pricks about it all. Then and only then will we consider allowing people to use our art and product in conjunction with theirs.

Having said that, NO live footage is EVER permitted. The live experience is to be enjoyed in the moment. Not on the internet.

We’ll be in touch.

Seems fair to me, though I know plenty of you would object to a live footage ban.

Also, I hope Spin take down their video, as it appears to have no reciprocal link on it
