Maynard talks APC with AZ Central

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?

Tool on Video Hits, A Perfect Circle on Kimmel

Stumbled across a tweet today from the Big Day Out feed, which mentioned the following: VIDEO HITS are doing a 1/2 hour TOOL special this Sat night at 1.20am (technically 1.20am Sunday 31st Oct) – tune in!! #VideoHitsTV #Tool Video Hits is an Australian music show, which mainly features Top 40 type music, so will be interesting to see what actually appears.  I guess it’ll just be their videos, but… Read More »Tool on Video Hits, A Perfect Circle on Kimmel

A Perfect Circle rehearsal clip

Maynard has posted a short video on Youtube of a very recent A Perfect Circle practise session.  The band appear to be playing Magdalena, and unless I’m mistake there sounds like a short snippet of violins being played.  I wonder if that’s a sample or not… APC rehearsing Magdalena Thanks to BurlyIves for the link!

I heard on the grapevine that they may have… Read More »Maynard Talks, Danny Drums

A Perfect Circle ticket sales wrap-up

Tickets for the November 2010 A Perfect Circle West Coast tour went on sale over the last 24 hours, and as expected there have been a few successes, as well as some failures.  The venues for all shows are quite small, and as a result getting tickets was hard work, but it appears to me that the majority of those who put in some time planning their attack managed to… Read More »A Perfect Circle ticket sales wrap-up
