The plan for APC was to do a few festival shows this summer, catch up with each other and call it good. 

Now they've booked more than a couple of dozen US dates, including Lollapalooza, Portland & Kent, Washington .

In addition, guitarist Billy Howerdel says they are close to finishing one new song, which they will play on their tour dates, and that the band fully intends to record new material, although it may not be this year.

Personally, I'd show up just to see Josh Freese and James Iha stand around, but if you can catch this act live, I'm sure you're not only in for a treat, but maybe one of the only chances to see Maynard James Keenan live in 2011.
