A
PERFECT PARTY:
Last night's release party (May 11) for A PERFECT CIRCLE's just-releasd
DVD Lost in the Bermuda Triangle proved to be an evening of strange and
colorful diversions. The moody, atmospheric rockers--A PERFECT CIRCLE--MAYNARD
JAMES KEENAN (vocals), BILLY HOWERDEL (guitars), JEORDIE OSBOURNE
WHITE (bass), JAMES IHA (guitars) and JOSH FREESE (drums)--and
their celeb friends including actor Christopher Meloni ("Oz, "Law
and Order") and gal rockers Kittie were at the bash held at NYC's
Coral Room (where mermaids glide through a large aquarium above the bar).
The outrageous bikini-clad cult film stars the Bikini
Bandits--who appear in the video for A PERFECT CIRCLE's current Top 5 Modern
Rock hit "The Outsider"--reliably drew gasps of delight from
partygoers. Guests were treated to a screening of the Lost In The Bermuda
Triangle DVD and the bizarre comedic stylings of Jimmy Kimmel Live
veteran funny man Neil Hamburger, plus a lounge act performing versions of the
band's sprawling rock epics from their platinum debut album and the current
nearly platinum THIRTEENTH STEP album (Virgin).
The DVD features the unedited "The Outsider"
video, along with bonus previews for the upcoming Bikini Bandits feature films
'The Golden Rod' and 'Bikini Bandits Save Christmas.' Meanwhile, A PERFECT
CIRCLE are currently headlining a national arena tour.
