  • A Perfect Circle is an American rock supergroup from Bell Gardens, California, formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan. The original incarnation of the band also included Paz Lenchantin on bass, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar, and Tim Alexander on drums. The latest line-up featured Marilyn Manson bassist and former Nine Inch Nails bassist Jeordie White; former guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, James Iha; and session drummer Josh Freese, who is best known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and The Vandals. Despite having a varied cast since inception, the stylistic content of the songs has remained consistent with Howerdel as composer, and Keenan penning the lyrics. A Perfect Circle has released three albums: Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step and Emotive. A CD-DVD set, Amotion, has also been released and contains thirteen music videos in addition to a number of song remixes created by Danny Lohner. The group has not recorded, toured or released any new material since its hiatus began in 2004. Since then band members have worked on other projects; the most notable being Keenan's work on Tool's 2006 album 10,000 Days, and Howerdel's founding of the band Ashes Divide. In a recent interview, Keenan announced that he and Howerdel have been working on new material, officially ending the group's hiatus. The extent to which Iha, White, and Freese will be involved is unknown.

Onlangs vertelde 'MJK' in een interview met het Franse tijdschrijft Rock Hard dat hij denkt dat APC voorbij is. Billy Howerdel bevestigde dit door te zeggen dat er geen plannen waren voor een nieuw album of een nieuwe tour. In een recenter interview werd echter duidelijk dat er wel degelijk nieuw materiaal onderweg is, welke waarschijnlijk via het internet verspreid wordt in plaats van een album. Welke bandleden hierbij betrokken zijn naast Billy Howerdel en Maynard James Keenan is echter onduidelijk. MTV News: Artikel over APC Op 18 september 2006 is er een kort nieuwsbericht geplaatst op de officiële website van APC waarin Maynard James Keenan vertelt over zijn eigen bezigheden en Billy Howerdel's soloproject.

  • A Perfect Circle (APC) är ett alternativt rockband, ibland klassat som en supergrupp. Gruppen bildades av Billy Howerdel och Maynard James Keenan (frontman i bandet Tool) 1999. Originaluppsättningen inkluderade också Paz Lenchantin på elbas, Troy Van Leeuwen på gitarr och Tim Alexander på trummor. Den senaste uppsättningen av musiker är basisten Jeordie White gitarristen James Iha och trummisen Josh Freese. Trots att bandet har haft många olika musiker har låtarna varit uppbyggda på samma sätt, eftersom Howerdel hela tiden har skrivit samt arrangerat låtarna och Keenan skrivit sångtexterna. A Perfect Circle har släppt 3 album: Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step och Emotive. De har också släpptaMotion, ett CD-DVD set med 13 musikvideos m.m. Gruppen har varken turnerat ett släppt någon skiva sen 2004. Under 2005 och framåt har medlemmarna hållt på med andra musikprojekt. Mest framstående är Keenans arbete i bandet Tool och Howerdels nya band Ashes Divide. I en interju sade Keenan att han och Howerdel har jobbat på nytt material till en framtida skiva. Vad som uteblev var om resten av bandmedlemmarna skulle vara med på den eller inte.
  • A Perfect Circle (APC), gitarist Billy Howerdel ve Maynard James Keenan tarafından kurulmuş alternatif rock yapan bir müzik grubu. Billy Howerdel Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, Fishbone ve Tool gibi gruplarda gitar teknisyeni olarak çalışmıştır. Kendi müziğinin demolarını Tool grubunun vokalisti Maynard James Keenan'a dinlettiğinde, Keenan'dan vokalisti olacağı bir grup kurması teklifini almıştır. Howerdel ilk başlarda bir kadın vokal düşündüğü için kararsız kalmış, ancak daha sonra teklifi kabul etmiş ve 1999'da A Perfect Circle kurulmuştur. Tool'daki karakterinden ayrılmak için Keenan, APC'nin tüm kliplerinde, fotoğraf çekimlerinde ve canlı performanslarında diğer zamanlarda kel olan başına uzun peruklar takmıştır. A Perfect Circle isminin kaynağına ilişkin iki tahmin vardır. İlki, Orta Çağ'da müziğin notlara dökülmesi konusunda tek otorite olan rahip sınıfının, Hristiyan inancındaki üçlemeye gönderme olarak, üç parçalık müziği mükemmel olarak kabul etmesi ve nota yazımının başına bu üçlük mükemmelliğin simgesi olan bir daire koymasıdır. Diğer tahmin ise, ismin Mer de Noms albümünde yer alan, Yunan mitolojisindeki Agememnon'un oğlu Orestes'in hikâyesine göndermeler içeren Orestes parçasında yer alan "Pull me into your perfect circle" (beni mükemmel dairenin içine çek) satırlarından geldiğidir. Ancak bu iki teori de yanlış çıkmış, Maynard Keenan yaptığı bir açıklamada "A Perfect Circle" isminin grup üyeleri arasındaki arkadaşlıktan geldiğini, grubun "mükemmel bir arkadaşlık çemberi" (a perfect circle of friendship) olduğunu söylemiştir.

  • The real problem with running Tool and A Perfect Circle at the same time was they both operate the same way. They're both live touring bands with a label, still working under the old contract mentality. So I thought it was time to let A Perfect Circle go for now and let Billy explore himself. It's tough for a guy who went from being a guitar tech [for Tool] to being in a band with a pretentious, famous singer and having to live in that shadow. It was important for Billy to go and do his own thing and really explore his own sound and let people hear what he has to say and how he would do it on his own, and then we'll get back and do some A Perfect Circle stuff.
