Biography

A Perfect Circle (often referred to as APC) is an alternative rock supergroup formed by guitarist Billy Howerdel. The band's latest line-up featured Jeordie White (Marilyn Manson and formerly of Nine Inch Nails tour line-up) on bass, James Iha (formerly of The Smashing Pumpkins) on guitar, and prolific session drummer Josh Freese (also known from Nine Inch Nails tour line-up).

Although the group never officially disbanded, A Perfect Circle has been on hiatus since 2006, having not written new material, toured or recorded; but the band's personnel have kept busy with other projects.

Last lineup
Owing to Iha and White's commitments elsewhere, the "Passive" video featured the lineup of Keenan, Howerdel, Freese, Lohner and Lenchantin. An aborted performance of that single scheduled for The Tonight Show was cancelled at the last minute, and would have included the same members.

Howerdel had mentioned in November 2004 that the next incarnation of the band would definitely contain Keenan and himself, and most likely Josh Freese, though as of 2008 it is not known if there will be another A Perfect Circle ensemble. [Source: en.wikipedia.org]
