Maynard James Keenan to Play With Puscifer Again This Fall

Tool's Maynard James Kennan is spending his summer vacation on tour with his recently reunited platinum-selling "other" band, A Perfect Circle. Once the Circle closes, MJK will return to work on another of his bands, and no, it's not Tool. Keenan will shift his focus to the always entertaining Puscifer. The band's second album, 'Conditions of My Parole,' is due out October 18. Keenan recently told SPIN the album "is like 'Twin Peaks' in the desert."


Guest players on the album include Jeff Friedl and Matt McJunkins from Ashes Divide, L.A. songwriter Juliette Commagere, Bat for Lashes drummer Sarah Jones, and Jon Theodore, formerly of The Mars Volta. "Working with different people opens up a whole new set of questions and puzzles and solutions," says Keenan.

Members of Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mars Volta and Janes Addiction form supergroup

A new supergroup has been formed worth getting excited about. The currently un-named project includes Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds, Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, former Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen and ex-Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery.

Since the members of the project live on opposite sides of the country, progress been a bit slow. "We tried to get together and do an album, but there's been no time," Hinds recently told Noisecreep. "We want to record crazy stuff and Ben is working on that, but it's been hard to get together."

Even though the project is officially nameless, Hinds wants to call it Giraffe Tongue "because they look sick." Yes, he's speaking about the actual tongue of a giraffe.
