Tool dude Maynard James Keenan’s non-A Perfect Circle side project, Puscifer, is releasing a record this month. The mere fact that their first appearance was as the band in the first episode of Mr. Show (with a later cameo in the half-baked Run Ronnie Run) makes their every move Stereogum-worthy, but friend-of-Bob-and-Dave Maynard’s Puscifer crew also incorporates Primus skin-smasher Tim “Herb” Alexander, guitarist Jonny Polonsky, Lisa Germano, and for the perfect fifth element, Milla Jovovich. Plus, this stuff’s a far cry from his AFC/Tool stuff; not that we love it, but it’s interesting to hear Keenan moanin’ over a fat backbeat. “Queen B.” is the first clip from the band’s forthcoming V Is For Vagina (take that, Wachowskis), featuring a game of CGI chess, with a bunch of Maynards as the slick-moving pawns. Yawns? Sorta.

V Is For Vagina is out 10/30.

    It’s okay. Just okay. At least it isn’t the hundredth variation of the Tool template.

    maynard has his own vineyard… do you have yr own vineyard? that means he is allowed to do whatever he wants, he is like paris helton’s uncle or something.

    but really i will give puscifer a chance (herb “the ginsing drummer” is special) tool is great. perfect cirlce pretty good and the evidence is not conclusive on puscifer. i think their next album should be a ronnie dobbs benefit cd

    What a good tune, Maynard is reaching out to the edge with this one and I love it

    This song has more irony than a grade 12 lit. textbook.
