A Perfect Circle No More?

[Hitman]

About a month ago, Maynard James Keenan told a French magazine that A Perfect Circle — the wildly successful side project he fronted between Nucleus LPs — was, if not dead, on life support.

The band, he added, "pushed [it] as far as it could go," and he said he sees the group "playing again together only in a few years to make one or two songs, nothing more." But Keenan stopped short of saying the group had officially called it quits.

Guitarist Billy Howerdel's not so sure what's happening with A Perfect Circle. The creative strength behind the band has been working on his own material. He's also in the throes of assembling a fresh outfit he'd like to record and tour with. But when it comes to A Perfect Circle, he'd rather not think about it.

"We don't know what's happening," said Howerdel, one of Keenan's best friends. "[Maynard and I have] talked about it lightly. A few months ago, it was like, 'If we did A Perfect Circle again, I'd want to do this or that.' It was a benign conversation. I think we both entertain the fact that it could happen again, but for right now we don't have any plans to do it again. We're focusing on what we're doing now. A Perfect Circle is done for now."

That's a shame... despite the rather bland eMOTIVe record, both their albums were fantastic. Not to mention an awesome live act, one of the best I've seen. I guess it helps when you've got a machine like Josh Freeze behind the drums, and some of the best in the alt-rock world playing.
