Who: Greg Puciato w/ Escuela Grind, Deaf Club and Trace Amount
Where: Marquis Theater, Denver CO
When: May 10, 2023
Since the dissolution of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Greg Puciato has been busy. Like, really busy. Like, Mike Patton busy. Releasing two solo albums and an e.p., a new Killer Be Killed album, a new Black Queen album as well as guesting on at least three albums and touring as part of Jerry Cantrell’s band.
What Denver’s Marquis Theater was privy to was a tight AF set encapsulating all of his solo work to date and one couldn’t help but feel they were watching something unlikely to happen again. Indeed, a few days before the show, it was announced that Puciato was to be the singer of Better Lovers, a newly formed band also featuring members of Every Time I Die and Fit For An Autopsy with an album and tour to follow in quick succession.
Opening the show for good measure were Escuela Grind from upstate New York, Deaf Club from Southern California (featuring vocalist Justin Pearson, the only person that might actually be busier than Mike Patton) and Trace Amount, also from New York.
It’s rare to have a four-band-bill with everyone firing on all cylinders, but that’s what makes this tour one to see. Check dates below.
