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!
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
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
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!
Maynard has a quick chat with Spin magazine, in which he talks about the latest happenings at his vineyard. 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
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!
A few more details have come in regarding the just announced APC shows: The band itself will include Maynard, Billy, Josh Freese, James Iha and Matt McJunkins (Ashes Divide, Puscifer). According to a recent Rolling Stone interview (more on that later) Paz, Troy and Jeordie have also been invited and may appear at some shows. Live Nation has dates up for the Las Vegas shows (the 20th and 21st of… Read More »More A Perfect Circle show details

Each of the three-night stops will feature one of A Perfect Circle’s albums in its entirety (Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step and… Read More »A Perfect Circle show details announced
