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.
Maynard has posted a couple of Tool rehearsal clips similar to the ones he did recently for A Perfect Circle. It shows the band playing sections of Lateralus and EBA/The Patient.

There is a lengthy interview with Billy Howerdel on Ultimate Guitar where he talks about a range of A Perfect Circle related topics, including a few guitar tech type questions, as well as a little insight into Tool: By the time you’ve recorded the Thirteenth Step album, has the writing process with Maynard become more efficient?

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.
