A PERFECT CIRCLE Guitarist: No New Album Planned... For Now

March 23, 2011

A PERFECT CIRCLE guitarist Billy Howerdel checked in with Audio Ink Radio host Anne Erickson to talk about the hard rock band's upcoming tour and plans to perform new material on the road. A podcast from the chat can be heard at this location.

Howerdel said A PERFECT CIRCLE will be "playing some of the new songs," on this tour, "so that's always an exciting prospect."

"We're still kind of in the creative process of them, but we have every intention of playing them live," he added. "I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to getting back on a tour and playing big enough places to actually have a production of sorts."

Howerdel also said the while he's excited for the new songs, don't expect a new CD…yet. "No album right now," he said. "Songs will trickle in as they're written and as needed, so maybe next year that will come together as a bigger collection of songs. But right now, there won't be an album."

A PERFECT CIRCLE hit theaters in five cities last November, with each city save one getting a three-night stand. The band played each of its three studio albums — "Mer De Noms", "Thirteenth Step" and "eMOTIVe" — on a different night.

The 2010-2011 lineup of A PERFECT CIRCLE includes singer Maynard James Keenan, Howerdel, drummer Josh Freese, former SMASHING PUMPKINS guitarist James Iha and bassist Matt McJunkins.

A PERFECT CIRCLE currently does not have a record deal.
