Sessanta V 2.0: Primus, Puscifer, A Perfect Circle
Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer singer Maynard James Keenan curated this show that features Primus, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle playing one continuous set. Clocking in around three hours in total, the Sessanta show features multiple mini sets that morph into the next band’s set, with the groups shifting members as the night goes on (so you might get Keenan singing with singer-bassist Les Claypool when Primus plays, and Claypool playing bass with APC). The concert begins at 8 p.m. at Blossom.

Panchiko
This band that broke up in the late 1990s reunited just a few years ago after the discovery of its demo CD turned it into an internet sensation. In 2016, someone posted a photo of a demo CD they’d discovered in an Oxfam charity store in Nottingham, UK. The listener uploaded the ripped audio to file-sharing sites, and the music caught on. The band has been active ever since. With new music in the works, the group comes to Globe Iron tonight at 6. Model/Acrtiz opens.
