Maynard and Mat Mitchell had a chat to The Doctor on Triple J today. The 10 minute interview covers a range of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer issues, Maynard’s autobiography and even has a sneaky Tool question thrown in (hat’s off the The Doc for that one). Reveals nothing new, however it is quite funny in parts and Matt and Maynard are both in fine spirits. Update: While re-listening to… Read More »Maynard speaks to Triple J
I came across an interview with Billy Howerdel on Las Vegas Weekly today where he talks about the coming A Perfect Circle Las Vegas show, as well as the Soundwave and South American shows. He also talks about the probability of a new album: The last A Perfect Circle album came out in 2004. Are you guys against putting out another one? No, I’d love to—when the time is right.… Read More »Billy discusses upcoming A Perfect Circle shows
Was browsing through Facebook this morning and notice a post from Billy saying that A Perfect Circle will be playing a show in Argentina with Tomahawk while they visit South America for Lollapalooza. The show will be at the Malvinas Argentinas Indoor Stadium on April 2nd, and tickets go on sale December 15th. Sounds like a great show!
News today via Twitter that Josh Freese has pulled the plug in his participation in A Perfect Circle: After 13 years, I’ve decided to leave @aperfectcircle with no plans of returning. Apologies to those inquiring about the upcoming shows. Sad news, but not entirely unexpected. Josh didn’t play with the band on their last tour and was replaced by Jeff Friedl. I expect Jeff will be confirmed as the new… Read More »Josh Freese quits A Perfect Circle
As usual, I go away for a few days and a bunch of interesting things happen. Here’s an overview of some largely non-Tool news that’s happened over the weekend: Firstly Blair posted the latest Tool Newsletter, which features a great interview with Tool lighting dude Junior. He answers a range of questions regarding his work with Tool (and other bands) and even name drops Adelaide as one of his favourite… Read More »Stuff that happened while I was away
In news that will no doubt excite the many South American MJK fans, word from an anonymous source is that A Perfect Circle will be playing on the next Lollapalooza festival in Chile. Puscifer may also be playing.
According to Antiquiet, A Perfect Circle will be playing one show in the US this year (provided the world doesn’t end), and that’s at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on the 29th of December. Tickets go on sale on the 15th of September, and VIP tickets can be purchased from here. Edit: Sorry, the date is actually the 29th!
There seems to be a lot of speculation about whether or not Puscifer could be playing on Soundwave 2013 as well as A Perfect Circle. Many of the APC announcement tweets also seem to include Carina Round and other Puscifer members, which have lead some to believe there may be more to this tour than we think. And Maynard mentioned on a interview with Triple J this afternoon that he… Read More »Could Puscifer be playing Soundwave as well?
The much antcipated Joe Rogan show with Maynard is now online, and as expected is quite good! It’s a long and interesting conversation where Maynard touches on a range of subjects including Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Wine making, Martial Arts, Drug experiences, Lateralus, wrestling Tool fans and much more. Well worth the listen. For those taking notes nothing specific was really mentioned in regards to progress on the new… Read More »Maynard chat with Joe Rogan now available
Matt sent me an email a few days ago pointing me to the trailer for the new Jason Statham movie Safe, which features the Apocalypse remix version of A Perfect Circle’s The Outsider: The movie looks like an ok, if somewhat generic action movie. If you want more details then check out the Safe IMDB page. Personally I haven’t heard that remix of The Outsider before, so I might have… Read More »A Perfect Circle track featured in Safe trailer
