The Pusciverse – As the countdown to the Feb. 6 release of Puscifer’s fifth studio album, Normal Isn’t, continues, the band is inviting fans to celebrate at select independent record stores with early screenings of their new concert film, “Normal Isn’t: Puscifer Live at the Pacific Stock Exchange.”
“Brick and mortar vinyl shops are the lifeblood of independent bands,” Maynard James Keenan notes. “There is a symbiotic relationship that was almost obliterated by the age of digital downloads and streaming. Thankfully we survived by working together.”
A list of retailers screening “Normal Isn’t: Puscifer Live at the Pacific Stock Exchange” from Feb. 6 to 8 is below. See store for date, time, and additional details. The concert film will be available for purchase on Feb. 9 at noon Pacific/3 p.m. Eastern via Puscifer.com.
Filmed at Los Angeles’ original stock exchange, an art deco landmark long rumored to be among the city’s most haunted sites, Normal Isn’t: Puscifer Live at the Pacific Stock Exchange captures a new chapter for Puscifer. Documenting the first-ever live performance of Normal Isn’t, the film features an entirely new stage setup, new costumes, and a graphic-rich light show. As tracks like “Self Evident,” “Pendulum,” and “Bad Wolf” pulse through the building’s granite-lined interior, Maynard James Keenan, Carina Round, Mat Mitchell, Gunnar Olsen, and Josh Moreau deliver a visceral, high-energy performance that brings the album to life.
Puscifer’s new album, Normal Isn’t, arrives simultaneously with the concert film’s premiere and features the recent singles: “Self Evident,” “Pendulum,” and “ImpetuoUs.” Puscifer also announced their foray into comic books last week with the now sold out release of “Tales from the Pusciverse” issue #1. A second printing arrives on Jan. 25.

Puscifer is a band of three creative confidants, namely Mat Mitchell, Carina Round, and Maynard James Keenan, who fuse music, performance, and visual art into a singular experience. Over the years, Puscifer has carved an indelible mark on the cultural landscape, releasing a series of acclaimed albums, selling out famed venues, appearing at Coachella, Bonnaroo, and other major festivals, and even curating their own touring festival, Sessanta. They’ve provided what was essentially the soundtrack to the first season of “Yellowstone,” and their albums regularly land on the top 30 of the Billboard Top 200. They’ve made memorable appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the “The Late Show,” bringing their signature blend of precision, wit, and theatricality to late night television.
Puscifer has also welcomed a revolving door of collaborators, from musicians like Greg Edwards, Gunnar Olsen, Josh Moreau, and Sarah Jones to remixers including Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Phantogram, and Sir Mix-A-Lot, as well as actors Bob Odenkirk and Milla Jovovich. It’s also a universe for the (mis)adventures of original characters: Billy D, (his wife) Hildy Berger, Major Douche, and Special Agent Dick Merkin. More than a band, Puscifer is a creative ecosystem; a boundary-pushing collective where sound, story, and spectacle collide.
