A Perfect Circle

A Perfect Circle is an American rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan. The band released three studio albums in the early 2000s: "Mer de Noms" (2000), "Thirteenth Step" (2003) and "Emotive" (2004), the latter consisting primarily of cover songs arranged in new styles. Following the release of "Emotive", the band entered a hiatus as Keenan returned to Tool and developed his project Puscifer, while Howerdel pursued a solo career under the name Ashes Divide
