A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel discussed early shows on the band’s fall 2018 tour having lower attendance than the spring tour in a new Straight interview.
“Maybe it’s that I’ve got too much on my mind—like trying to finish this record on top of touring. Probably my mind is just racing too much. The shows haven’t been as well-attended as the spring, and that’s been a little bit of a head-scratcher for us. You can try and figure those things out, but that turns into an exercise in frustration.
“It’s for people in different parts of this organization—managers and booking agents and promoters—to worry about more than me,” he continues. “But I’d be lying to say that it didn’t matter to me—it’s nice when you go out and see a full room, and the spring was mostly like that. But then again, it’s only been a few shows, so maybe it’s just a little ego trip on my part.”
