A PERFECT CIRCLE Debut 2D Clip Of "The Contrarian" From Eat The Elephant Companion Hologram Film; North American Tour Extended

A Perfect Circle share a 2D clip of “The Contrarian” as the band extends their previously announced North American Fall tour. Several new shows have been added to the month-long North American trek including an appearance at this year’s Voodoo Music + Arts Experience as well as headlining dates in Baltimore, Detroit and more (dates listed below). Tickets for the newly added headlining dates are on-sale this Friday at 10 AM, local time.

“The Contrarian” footage is taken from the Steven Sebring-directed companion film for the band’s recently released album, Eat The Elephant. The clip is part of an album-length film viewable via a prism included in the Eat The Elephant deluxe box set.

“It is very much a combined experience of the tactile and the visual. I come from an era where the physical pieces of music were something that you cherished… Something like this brings back that visual excitement for people,” said Maynard James Keenan in a recent interview with Billboard Magazine regarding the hologram film.

A Perfect Circle’s Eat The Elephant debuted atop numerous Billboard charts, grabbing the #1 spot on the Rock, Independent and Alternative Albums’ charts, a #2 entry on the Top Current Albums chart (for pure album sales) and a #3 album debut on the Top 200. This is the band’s fourth consecutive studio album to have Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200.

In Canada, the album grabbed the #1 spot on the Canadian Alternative chart, a #3 entry for the all-genre consumption chart (album sales, track sales and streaming) and a #2 album debut on the Top 200.
