A Perfect Circle
may be available for your next special event!
An art-rock band with nu-metal and gothic elements, A Perfect Circle is the side project of
Tool singer Maynard James Keenan and has attracted an audience made up primarily of introspective and intellectual young rock fans. Their songs can be quirky, melancholy and even depressing, but along with Keenan's main band, A Perfect
Circle has been met with considerable critical and commercial success. Sometime
Tool/Fishbone guitar tech Billy Howerdel is responsible for the songwriting, while Keenan adds his uniquely eccentric lyrics and Paz Lenchantin her ethereal musicianship to the band's work.
 A Perfect Circle was first formed in 1997 after Keenan, embroiled in legal wrangles between
Tool and associated organizations, took some time off to recuperate. He found some relief in plunging into the creation of songs based on ideas suggested by his touring associate Howerdel, and an album's worth of material was slowly polished into being over two years, with the help of
Lenchantin, Troy van Leeuwen and Josh Freese.
The rumor-mill attached to a band of as much cult popularity as
Tool is always active, and when fans received word of a potential spin-off project, anticipation began to grow. The group, which is considered by critics to be an extension of Tool, actually is not. A Perfect Circle is less dark than
Tool. A Perfect Circle's debut show took place at Los Angeles' Viper Club in August 1999 and Mer De Noms appeared the following spring. Howerdel, who had previously co-written for
Smashing Pumpkins and
Nine Inch Nails, had crafted an epic, surreal set of songs and
Tool fans adopted A Perfect Circle with relish. The album set a new record for the highest-ever debut entry for a new band, entering the Billboard chart at number 4. Keenan subsequently returned to
Tool to record "Lateralus," their hit album of 2001.
