Hiatus Over for A Perfect Circle?

By Timothy|2019-05-25T14:42:35-08:00August 26th, 2010|

Four years ago the band A Perfect Circle went on a hiatus after their last effort, cover album eMotive was released. Maynard James Keenan went on with Tool and his solo project Puscifer, while Billy Howerdel put together the band Ashes Divide.

The website for A Perfect Circle has been left relatively untouched since then. Then last month an update appeared, saying, “Stuff . . . is happening.” Days later a new update appeared, telling, “Subtle stealth movement. Keep eyes and ears peeled for clues thru

[sic] all channels involving Ashes Divide and Puscifer.”

Lately they’ve been posting on Twitter and Facebook about a project that involves Josh Freese, and there’s a strong possibility that other members of A Perfect Circle are involved as well. They aren’t being straight-forward, but it’s pretty much a given that the band is regrouping and writing new music.

I was a huge fan of Mer de Noms and Thirteenth Step, and one of the few who liked their cover album eMotive too. I’m very stoked for their next effort and it cannot come soon enough. A Perfect Circle is a damn good band.

A Band From San Diego: A City Serene

By Timothy|2019-05-25T14:42:43-08:00June 15th, 2010|

Post Hardcore / Screamo band from San Diego, A City Serene have been busy recording a new album and going on tour. They return home to headline at SOMA this Saturday on June 19, 2010.

A City Serene formed in 2008 and performed their first gig at a little bar. They gave it their all despite the small crowd; their first night and they were already displaying a strong stage presence. It really showed their work ethic and their passion for music. And it wasn’t before long they were headlining local shows and drawing crowds. Despite their popularity rising, they remain humble, talking with their fans and wanting to connect.

Recently they released a new song entitled Diamond Skies on their MySpace at:

In addition, they released a fun cover of 3OH!3’s My First Kiss which can be found here along with other songs for download and for listening:

Stories and Pink Floyd

By Timothy|2019-05-25T14:42:49-08:00April 30th, 2010|

My parents have an amusing story about me when I was still in my mother’s womb: I behaved well while my dad would blast rock music, but the moment it was Pink Floyd, I would start kicking to the beat of the songs. My mom noticed this and told my dad — they then experimented and played different bands to see how I’d react, but I was docile. They put on Pink Floyd, and again I kicked to the beat.

One of my distinct childhood memories is in our old apartment; I was blasting my dad’s Pink Floyd collection and sang along, air-guitaring to the solos. I was fully submerged in the music. There could be company over, but I was so lost in the music that I didn’t care.

At eight-years-old I developed a tradition of listening to Pink Floyd’s Darkside of the Moon alone in my room on my birthday. At midnight today the tradition continued; I spent time in solitude in my room listening to the album.

There’s a nostalgia, a child-like happiness I experience each year. To this day no other band has touched my soul like Pink Floyd. The experience is always therapeutic and euphoric to me. Until next year again.

Roger Waters’ “The Wall”

By Timothy|2019-05-25T14:42:49-08:00April 27th, 2010|

To mark the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s concept album, The Wall, Roger Waters is bringing it back on tour. Waters thinks that hidden in the personal story of “Pink” lies an allegory for universal, political, and social themes that are still relevant today.

The last time The Wall was performed live was in Berlin, Germany, on July 21, 1990 to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall. A sell-out crowd of over 250,000 people attended with an additional 100,000 after the gates were opened; along with fifty-two countries broadcasting the concert. It featured the building of a 550-foot-long and 82-foot-high wall during concert, which was then demolished at the end.

The new tour will feature the construction and deconstruction of a 240-foot-wide and 35-foot-tall wall, along with other props and special effects.

Waters believes this will be his last major tour; his swan song. The tour kicks off on September 15, 2010 in Toronto, Canada, and will conclude on December 13, 2010 in Anaheim, California.

American Express presale tickets starts on May 3.
RogerWaters.com presale tickets starts on May 5.
iTunes presale tickets starts on May 6.
And public tickets are on sale on May 10.
