Just got word from a couple of Fourtheye readers today that A Perfect Circle will be playing the Edgefest in Toronto on the 9th of July. Other bands on the lineup include Rise Against, The Weakerthans, Tokyo Police Club, Arkells, The Reason and Dinosaur Bones. I can’t imagine this will be the only show, so I’d imagine the East Coast mat see a few dates this time round.

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.

Do you better understand the types of guitar ideas that he’ll respond to? Kind… Read More »Billy Howerdel discusses A Perfect Circle reunion
A few Maynard related items this afternoon. Firstly, as I’m sure most of you have read on Toolband a selection of his wines won 9 medals at a recent Arizona Republic Wine Competition. Head over to the Caduceus site or Toolband for more details. Congratulations to Maynard on his endeavours and I hope to one day sample his fermented grapes. I read somewhere (I can’t for the life of me… Read More »Maynard Stuff
Spin has a video from the first A Perfect Circle show a few nights back in Arizona. Doesn’t have any live audio, however the quality of the footage suggests that rumours of a live DVD of some description are very promising, and hopefully very likely! Enjoy the gigs those of you who were lucky enough to score tickets!
Ticket sales for the two side shows have now pretty much wrapped up, with Melbourne sold out, and Brisbane being close to it – at time of writing there were some silver tickets only left, all single seats. Ticketek sales for the Brisbane show went pretty smoothly, and Ticketmaster for Melbourne not so. My experience this morning with Ticketmaster was that at about 9:00:15 there were only GA tickets left,… Read More »Tool sales wrap-up, APC do Arizona
Maynard has done a quick interview with Ed Masley from AZ Central in which he talks about the coming A Perfect Circle shows: Q: I love the three-night stand idea. What inspired that approach?
