For create an experience that allows you to see, taste, and experience things that you just may have never known about a well known band from the 1990's and what the lead singer is now doing shying away from the music scene. Let's start with music. Do the bands Tool, Pucifer, or A Perfect Circle ring a bell to you? You may know that the lead singer in all those bands is a guy by the name of Maynard James Keenan.
