Jane’s Addiction reunited; Lollapalooza?
In a move that shouldn’t surprise anyone (especially after the massive success of Satellite Party), word is leaking that Perry Farrell will once again reunite his old alt-rock band, Jane’s Addiction. The reports come this morning from Rolling Stone, which expect the band together as early as the next few weeks.
…the band is getting together once more to play the NME Awards at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on April 23 (no plans for a full tour have been announced). According to NME’s publishing director, Paul Cheal, Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins are all confirmed for the show, though neither original bassist Eric Avery nor reunion bassist Chris Chaney have signed on yet. The band will also be presented with the NME Godlike Genius Award for Extraordinary Services to Music at the ceremony, which is being held in the U.S. for the first time in twenty-five years.
What could this mean for the future? Lollapalooza fans have already started scratching their heads at the lack of a Perry-infused performance on the lineup, so could this warrant a second one-off show at his very own tea party? We’ll have to wait and see.
I’m okay with it, just as long as it doesn’t interfere with NIN.
