On Stage: Puscifer Live, From Las Vegas to New Zealand
A Puscifer show is a performance more than a gig: black suits, sunglasses, big hair and a stage built like scaffolding under coloured light. Here is how we got from the first night to the stages in the photos.
Where did the live shows begin?
In Las Vegas, in February 2009. That was the first run of Puscifer shows, two years after the first album.
When did Puscifer play outside North America?
- 2013: our first shows outside North America, in Australia, plus Brazil and Chile.
- 2016: a run through the UK and Europe.
- 2017: back to Australia, and on to New Zealand.
Who is on stage?
Maynard James Keenan and Carina Round out front, Mat Mitchell on guitars and electronics, Gunnar Olsen on drums since 2020 and Josh Moreau on bass.
Can I watch a show at home?
Yes. There are two live films, V is for Versatile and Parole Violator. Parole Violator came out on 28 October 2022.
What should I wear to a show?
- Go dark: the stage is all black suits and shadows, so black merch fits right in.
- Layer up: a hoodie or crewneck over a tee handles a cold queue and a warm room.
- Pick your era: wear the design that matches the record you came to hear.
- Size with care: check the size chart on the product page before you order.
