I've always been puzzled and fascinated by Easter. Jesus, eggs, bunnies. It never really made much sense to me as a child, so I kept looking into it. (I grew up a Southern Baptist sort of. A more accurate description would be to say that I grew up in a Southern Baptist household. They weren't very fond of my favorite word. "WHY?")
  Several years ago I came across an interview with Joseph Campbell, the master of Myth and Metaphor. He was discussing this very subject. (Easter. Not irreverent children) He was blending elements of the Equinox, the cycle of the moon, and story of Christ. Regeneration and Transformation was the basic thrust. I'll do my best to regurgitate the elements I remember most.
   He set up his story of Easter by reminding us of a more difficult time. A time when we came out of the Fall Equinox and harvest season with the hopes of making it through what could be a difficult winter. He described the celebration of the winter solstice, and the turning point from the darkest of days, when the light of hope appeared on the horizon, leading us to Spring and our salvation. A time of regeneration, resurrection, and fertility. But the most intriguing metaphor he described, for me, was the cycle of the moon as it related to the lifespan and maturity of a man/Jesus.
  The moon, like a child, shows it's first sliver of light and intellect in the form of the crescent. And as it progresses, it's light and understanding becomes stronger and brighter. This being/ego/entity begins to shine brightly, until it reaches it's MID life, the full moon. This to me is the beauty of the Equinox and Easter. For those of you lucky enough to have a clear view of both the Eastern and Western horizons, do yourself a favor and get up at sun rise. On a perfect Easter/Equinox morning, you should be able to see 2 bodies of light, one on either horizon. If it's clear enough, and If you don't know your East from your West, the sun and moon appear to be equally bright and you may not be able to tell them apart. It's at this moment in this mans/moons life that he should realize, if he's a truly conscious and connected being, that the light he has been emanating and boasting about is not his own. Rather it is being reflected off/through him from a Higher source/power. "I and my Father are one," if I may quote todays guest of honor.
  Have a lovely holiday. Time to get back to the vineyard. Gotta assist Mother Nature in turning some water and sunshine into wine.

New Promo for the Nokia shows via the L.A. Weekly and Erin Broadley.
Village Person/Idiot

First Night is basically sold out. So this is how we roll... Reverend Soquet wants to SAVE you ALL!  We've added a 2nd night and the tickets go on sale March 7th at 10a.m. PST. Let the SIN begin. Ticket Bastard

OK, so the cat is out of the bag officially. We're playing Club Nokia on the 4th of APRIL. Tickets go on sale this Friday, Feb 27th. 

We do stuff. Well I do anyway. I see the sky at night in Northern Arizona and I can't help but plan. I can't sit still. I can feel the earth moving and I want to keep up and show her that I care. I want to show her that I know that my efforts count for something. She knows this. We tend to forget. But I forget nothing. My efforts matter. Your efforts matter. Every single heart felt effort, thought, movement, declaration, affirmation, ritualistic statement. It all matters. Life is too short to let all these opportunities/observations pass by unexpressed. I guess what I'm saying is... Get Off YOUR ASS and SAY/DO something. Even if it's just standing on your porch, in your backyard, with your glass extended towards the heavens...Just declare that you care. Promise yourself/the Universe that you intend to make a difference. If we all did this, just imagine what a better place this would be. The whole world would ALMOST be as awesome as Northern Arizona. Snap.

Thank you for all the support at the 1st shows. We had a blast. Lots and lots and lots of holes and flaws and hiccups. And lots of room for improvement overall, but we feel it went well considering it was our first ever attempt. This is a work in progress, so expect to see some minor and or major adjustments as time goes forward. Ht4 Lirpa, Aikon Bulc

We managed to drag a few more tickets away from the powers that be.

FIRST NIGHT FRONT SECTION SEATS

SECOND NIGHT FRONT SECTION SEATS

THIRD NIGHT FRONT SECTION SEATS

I've chosen to include Uncle Scratches Gospel Revival in our first ever Puscifer performances. One of many reasons being...USGR, Devo, Chrissy Hynde, and Myself are ALL from that spiritually conflicted battleground known as Ohio. Clearly there is something in the water over yonder. Northern Ohio cultivates a unique breed of nutty. And I mean that in the best way possible. Amen, brother. Amen!" Check them out HERE!!!

  Sad news came our way yesterday. Charles Cooper, of Telefon Tel Aviv, passed away Wednesday, January 22, 2009. Their album just came out. This is awful news. many of you may know his partner,  Josh Eustis, from his work with Puscifer.
  Not sure what to say. Just send Josh some light and positive thoughts on this extremely dark day.

Charles Wesley Cooper, III April 12, 1977 - January 22, 2009

We just released some seats we'd held back. All 3 nights now have some spots left. Fuck the scalpers. YeeHaw! TICKETMASTER
