Puscifer last night at the Apolla Theater in Harlem, NY

As you would expect from a Maynard James Keenan solo project, the Puscifer show last night was.... unexpected.   The first HALF of the show included Maynard and his female co-vocalist, Carina Round dressed as a redneck-car-salesman-type, and a Dolly Parton lookalike respectively.  The rest of the band members lingered further back on the stage, sitting on a porch of what looked like a southern tavern.  Hilarious stuff, full with slide guitar and country versions of the songs 'Country Boner' (a video for the song is below), 'Sour Grapes' and 'Vagina Mine'among a few others.  This part of the set also included a bunch of video skits of Maynard and Carina in redneck character.  It was mostly just comedic banter, but there was a little storyline about how Carina left Maynard (I believe his redneck character name was Billy Bob), but then eventually agreed to come back to him after some groveling.  This was fun and all, but went on a bit too long.
The second set was more of what Puscifer sounds like on the album.   So, it was much more Tool-esque.  Carina and Maynard stood behind flat screen tvs on microphone stands, so that as they sang to the back of the screen, the audience saw their faces through a fish-bowl lens on the screen.  Typical Maynard- always hiding or laying in the shadows whilst live.   They only played around 5 or 6 songs in this set- which included a killer live version of 'Dozo'.   Tim Alexander shined on drums, and all 4 of my friends independently mentioned his drumming after the show.  Looking back I do wish their was less country and more straight up Puscifer, but overall a funny-then beautiful show.
