Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan's offensive side project, Puscifer, will make its live debut on February 13th at the Pearl at Palms Casino in Las Vegas.
Puscifer originally began as a comedy project before Keenan hit it big with Tool. "Puscifer generally started off as a name that I was attaching to some of the comedy things I was doing with comedian Laura Milligan at this club called Tantrum on Hollywood and La Brea," Keenan said.
The band's hilarious debut album, V is for Vagina, was released in 2007.
Check out the video below for "Country Boner" to see what they're all about.

I think that the whole point of the song is to poke fun at how incredibly, mind-numbingly simple country is. The song was meant as a joke, and I think it's a pretty good one. I have heard too many people compare Puscifer to Tool and tell me about how disappointed they are because they expected something more "Opiate-ish." These two bands are completely separate entities. Don't get me wrong, I love Tool (have since I was given the Opiate cd right before Undertow came out). I just don't think that comparing/contrasting these two incredible bands is a good idea. I think "V is for Vagina" and the remix cd, "V is for Viagra" are both superb, dark, sexy, and funny; and also that time and time again Maynard proves just how talented he really is.

they really had me until the chorus...'my country boner won't go down' over and over again. very disappointing, maynards way more clever than that....
i don't know...they should leave the comedy country to the pros, ie; ween, supersucker.
stick to the shiz that pays the biz.
