A Perfect Circle - available at 1 store *

The US based alternative-rock band, A Perfect Circle was formed by guitarist Billy Howerdel. The band was founded in 1999, after Howerdel played a demo for Tool's singer, Maynard James Keenan. The guitarist made his connections to the industry while working as a tech for groups like Smashing Pumkins, Nine Inch Nails, Fishbone, and Tool.

At first, Maynard offered to sing for A Perfect Circle, however Howerdel was a bit hesitant because he had a female voice in mind. In the end, the two musicians along with guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, violinist/bassist Paz Lenchantin, and drummer Tim Alexander formed the band.

Over the next 4 years, A Perfect Circle would come to release 3 albums: Mer de Noms (2000), Thirteen Step (2003), and eMOTIVe (2004).
