The Pulse of Radio reports: Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan sent an email to fans last week in which he said that A Perfect Circle, the band he formed in 2000 with guitarist Billy Howerdel, is still a going concern even though both Keenan and Howerdel are both now involved with other projects. Keenan wrote, "As many of you may have heard, Billy and I are engaged in our own little projects for the moment. His is called Ashes Divide and mine is called Puscifer...Please be advised that A Perfect Circle and Tool are still alive and well. This is simply More." A Perfect Circle went on hiatus in 2004 after issuing three studio albums and one live set, while Keenan went back to work with Tool and Howerdel began assembling Ashes Divide.

Ashes Divide's debut album, "Keep Telling Myself It's Alright", was released last month, with Howerdel unveiling the project's touring lineup this past weekend.

Keenan issued the debut Puscifer album, "V Is For Vagina", last fall, and continues to work on additional music for the project.

Tool's latest album, "10,000 Days", surfaced almost exactly two years ago, and Keenan has said recently that the band could regroup later this year to begin work on its next effort.

Howerdel told The Pulse of Radio last year that he wasn't really sure whether A Perfect Circle would ever be reactivated, saying, "We might do something in the future, but all I can see is Ashes Divide right now. That's kind of all I have in front of me."
