A Perfect Circle Discography

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The discography of A Perfect Circle, an alternative rock American supergroup, consists of three studio albums, a video album, eight singles and ten music videos. A Perfect Circle is the brainchild of Billy Howerdel. After hearing demos of Howerdel''s music, Maynard James Keenan, the lead singer of Tool, offered his services as vocalist. Howerdel agreed, and the band formed in 1999. They were then joined by bassist/violinist Paz Lenchantin, guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, formerly of Failure, and drummer Tim Alexander, formerly of Primus. Soon after entering the studio to record their first album, Alexander was replaced by Josh Freese of The Vandals. Mer de Noms was released in May 2000, selling 188,000 copies its debut week. The band embarked on a number of headlining tours all over the world to promote the album which was certified gold by the RIAA one month after its release, and platinum just four months later.
