Tracey from The Rock FM, a radio station in New Zealand today had a chat with Adam about the upcoming Big Day Out tour in 2011. He also touches on the song writing process, and from what he says it sounds like things are going well. Thanks to Logan for the tip.
Well the pre-sales happened earlier today. Brisbane went about as smoothly as you’d hope. Tickets may even still be available if you haven’t got them already. Melbourne on the other handle was a cock up of epic proportions. In between wrong passwords, My Ticketmaster pre-sales and the late availablilty of Gold Tickets, there’s a wide range of fans, myself included who feel a little pissed that they missed out.

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? A: Well, we’ve never actually played the "Emotive" album live, so we wanted to do all those songs and really dial them in so we could have a little pool of songs to draw from when… Read More »Maynard talks APC with AZ Central
There’s an excellent interview with Danny on Aussie site Faster Louder this morning. He talks about preparations for the tour and touches on the new album as well: What can we expect from this Tool show that differs from the band’s previous Big Day Out appearance in 2007?

Highlights include: Do those retirees ever ask what Merkin, the name of your vineyards, actually means? (it’s a pubic hair wig) They probably do and I probably look at them with a blank stare and ask if they want some more wine. I heard on the grapevine that they may have… Read More »Maynard Talks, Danny Drums
Si emailed me today an interview that Justin has done recently with the New Zealand Herald. The article itself is in regards to their appearance on the Big Day Out Festival, but Justin drops several hints about the new album: “But we all come up with stuff on our own, and probably for the first six months we just share our ideas with each other, spending hours dithering around. So… Read More »Justin talks about the new album

He talks about a range of topics related to A Perfect Circle and their upcoming tour: What are the chances that we’ll hear a new song?

Maynard and Billy appeared on the KISW radio station this morning, mainly to plug the upcoming A Perfect Circle gigs. Not a bad interview, but not especially revealing either. Thanks to the 100 or so of you that emailed me about this!
jsmodena emailed me a link to a new interview with Maynard on Spin. It’s pretty brief, but touches on upcoming recording/writing plans for both Tool and Puscifer: New music from Tool is also in the works. "They are getting together and writing," he says of bandmates drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, and bassist Justin Chancellor. "I’ll be popping back into L.A. soon to check in."
