Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer singer Maynard James Keenan and his wife Jennifer have opened a new vinyl cafe near Phoenix, Arizona. The Queen B Vinyl Café, which opens on October 23, will host concerts by bands such as Thou and Galactic Empire.
Queen B Vinyl Café: a unique place for music lovers and more
Queen B Vinyl Café, located in Cottonwood, Arizona, is more than just a coffee shop. Result of a relocation and rebranding of the former Puscifer The Store, this new space promises to become an essential place for lovers of music, wine and alternative culture. This innovative concept combines a record store, a wine bar, a hair salon, a coffee roaster and even a ramen restaurant.
Jennifer Keenan explained the vision behind this change: “Relocating and renaming Puscifer The Store to Queen B Vinyl Café is not just about a change of location, it is about seizing new opportunities. With our new location, we can host more live events while expanding our culinary offerings with the addition of a coffee roaster and ramen house.”
