ha, look what's cat dragged in..
somehow i save this from NME many months ago..
   A Perfect Circle
Boston Avalon Ballroom
A Perfect Circle - Rocks off/rawk on

It could all go horribly wrong. It's the first night of A Perfect Circle's
first US headlining tour. As Maynard James Keenan puts it, people that wear
"dark black" are together with people that wear "greyish black". Metalheads
and goths await their chance to scream, "fuck your God" in unison. So who
put Portishead's 'Sour Times' and Radiohead's 'The Tourist' on repeat?

When the room goes dark, and a game of girl-on-girl, strip "War" starts
onstage, the crowd, confused, yet oddly aroused, starts getting antsy.
APChave exactly one hour and 20 minutes. People in shiny black are also
waiting anxiously for something. They're queued up outside - Paul Oakenfold
is spinning here tonight.

Finally, the band hits the stage with a charged version of 'Magdalena'. It's
clear, everyone here to get their rocks off and their Rawk on, will be
satisfied.

A Perfect Circle are a curious beast. They're studied, subtle, and full of
poetry and melody as fragile as it is fierce, but also as much about
head-banging double-lead riffage, hammer-of-the-gods rhythms, and a sweaty
sex appeal. Special sexy points go to bassist Paz Lenchantin's
enthusiastically flirty bump and grind and Troy Van Leeuwen's stylish
indifference to it.

Keenan, like his fellow crooner Chino Moreno of the Deftones, knows the
guttural, phlegm-hurling bark is a good trick, but that actually singing is
a divine talent. They also share a secret on the subject of ass. Don't be
afraid to show some crack. On stage, Keenan, day-glo tights, platinum-blond
wig et al, shakes his ass like a haywire hula girl and/or stalks the crowd
like a hungry jungle cat.

"This song is not about anal sex," he says, waggling his finger before
turning his back for some faux masturbation while the band pounds of a
coffin-spike through 'Thinking of You.' The yin of Keenan's more sordid
moments are offset by a yang of deliciously vulnerable versions of 'Three
Libras' and 'Brena.'

The band play all of 'Mer de Noms' (minus 'Renholder') and a twisted
combination of Ozzy's 'Diary of a Madman' and The Cure's 'Lovesong', dubbed
'Ozzy's Cure'. They skip the typical formalities of an encore, making the
most out of their short time. We all shout, "Fuck your God" for
closer,'Judith', and go home with Holy shit-eating grins. What else could we
possibly want? Someone could tell Oakenfold he has to wait.

In fact Doppelganger was my favourite, but Steve Osborne ruined it..
just hear some versions from Peel Sessions to get a picture how it can be
killer !!!
I was in London when first Curve EP was out and i bought it without
listening..
there was a big fuzz about it, and Melody Maker put "Blindfold" single of
week
two month before was released, so i know what to looking for when i was
there..
"Goth Eurythmics " ..hmmm, whatever, they rule..
Cliiped EP is my piece of heaven, favourite piece of Curve and feel somehow
disappointed when heard Doppelganger..see above
