Not sure what’s up with that, but I imagine there’s plenty of disappointed Tool fans out there. Hopefully the sideshows many of us are going to have no such restriction…
According to a recent tweet by Antiquiet (and also on Billy Howerdel’s Facebook so I hear): Maynard and I just got done tracking some vocal for a new APC song Hopefully this means we’ll see a new A Perfect Circle track sometime in the not too distant future.
