Check out new live footage in the video below of A Perfect Circle rehearsing for their five-city US tour in November!

After a six-year hiatus, APC bring their magic to the stage once again for a West Coast run, including a performance by the band on Jimmy Kimmel Live on October 27. Each city will be treated to three complete shows with the band playing one of their three albums in its entirety each night. Tool and A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan told Rolling Stone in September, “We’re going to do Mer de Noms the first night, Thirteenth Step the second, and eMOTIVe the third night.”

A Perfect Circle’s 2010 lineup will feature Keenan, guitarist Billy Howerdel, drummer Josh Freese, former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and bassist Matt McJunkins.

Washington D.C.’s WTTG Fox 5 reported yesterday on Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan’s involvement in wine making at his current home in Jerome, Arizona.

“Blood Into Wine”, the eagerly awaited documentary on Keenan and his vineyard partner Eric Glomski’s mission to bring notoriety and respect to Northern Arizona’s wine industry, will premiere at the W Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona on February 19, 2010 at 7 p.m.

“Blood Into Wine”, the eagerly awaited documentary on Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan and his vineyard partner Eric Glomski’s mission to bring notoriety and respect to Northern Arizona’s burgeoning wine industry, will premiere at the W Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona on February 19, 2010 at 7 p.m.

Co-directed by Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke (”Moog”, “The Heart is a Drum Machine”), the documentary was shot using multiple Red One cameras, allowing cinematographer Cary Truelick to capture the craggy landscape surrounding Keenan’s vineyards in stunning detail. Editor Robert Beadle skillfully worked with over 200 hours of footage to help craft the story of two pioneer winemakers in an unforgiving region.

While the film focuses on Keenan’s winemaking, “Blood Into Wine” gives a larger picture of the often reclusive singer.

Nationwide screenings will be announced shortly, with a DVD release coming Spring 2010.
