MASERATI WITHOUT JERRY?? THAT’S LIKE PEANUT BUTTER WITHOUT JELLY!!
Although to be fair I do quite enjoy peanut butter in other applications — like in M&Ms, or celery with peanut butter on it like my mom always used to make me. So, reluctantly, I think I’m gonna get behind this upcoming “Maserati” tour with cautious optimism.
Quick recap: superman groove machine drummer Jerry Fuchs died last year in a tragic elevator accident in Brooklyn. Most of another Maserati album had already been recorded (including all the drums), so his bandmates decided to finish it up and release it as Pyramid of the Sun, out November 9th via Temporary Residence. All well and good. But this latest bit of news is a bit surprising; according to Brooklyn Vegan, Maserati have announced a fall tour. AE Paterra of Zombi will be filling Jerry’s vacant drum throne; no disrespect meant to Paterra, but Fuchs WAS Maserati and it’ll be hard to stomach watching them with someone else in that chair. But I’ve always loved Maserati’s music beyond just Jerry’s playing and I’m certainly willing to give it a shot. Dude knows he’s got big shoes to fill and I’m sure his bandmates do too, so they must’ve chose wisely.

Tour dates after the jump. That 11/13 date in Jerry’s hometown of Brooklyn is going to be uber-emotional. I’ll be there.
