Earlier this week it was announced that A Perfect Circle will be getting back together for a series of live shows this fall. APC's Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdel called in to a Seattle radio station yesterday morning to discuss the tour. During the interview Maynard was asked if there are plans to record a new APC album and said, "Maybe. Personally I’m not really into albums anymore. Might be more going back to the singles. The days of the singles market makes a lot more sense at this point. We have no label, so neither Billy nor I are really into kicking down hundreds of thousands of dollars to record a record and put it out."

A Perfect Circle is back in action, as the band led by Maynard James Keenan of Tool and guitarist/songwriter Billy Howerdel has announced a series of West Coast shows this fall. APC will play multi-night stands in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Seatle, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Each night will focus on one of their three album: Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step and eMOTIVe. (Las Vegas will only be a two-night stand and omit 2004's eMOTIVe.) APC will also perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live on October 27. In related news, Keenan told Spin last week that his other side project Puscifer will release a DVD early in 2011 of their comedy/music live show. As for Tool, Keenan says the rest of the band is "getting together and writing. I'll be popping back into L.A. soon to check in."
