Despite making a highly publicized return at the NME Awards back in May, Jane’s Addiction’s status still remains as much in doubt as Velvet Revolver, Led Zeppelin, or any other of the countless high-profile rock ‘n roll acts who have caused quite a few sleepless nights over the last few months. But head on over to Perry and Co’s official website today, and you’ll be greeted by a rather startling image.

Lady aside, obviously the most important bit of info on the website’s front page is the October 23rd date appearing on the left hand side. Could this be? Will this be the day Jane’s Addiction officially announce its long-awaited reunion. Or maybe a performance?

It certainly would appear that way, especially if you go by some of the recent comments made by Farrell to Charlie Amter of the Los Angeles Times:

I ran into Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell Monday at Les Deux (it was a scene worthy of “Entourage” — porn stars “actresses” aplenty were at the packed bar to support alt-porn queen Joanna Angel’s newest DVD, “XOXO Joanna Angel”), and had the chance to talk a bit about the Jane’s Addiction reformation earlier this year at the NME Awards USA.

To my surprise, Farrell said that Jane’s is actually looking to play again locally, and soon.

Pop & Hiss has confirmed this week that the band is in talks to play a very small bar in Los Angeles sometime this fall.  We won’t ruin the surprise of where the show will likely take place, but let’s just say that those who get to see the show, if it indeed happens, will be very lucky indeed.

Here is a hint: The concert will likely be held on a Thursday night. Still unknown at this point is if original Jane’s Addiction bass player Eric Avery will perform with the band, as he did in April in a short set for the NME Awards gig, but I’m operating under the assumption that he might.

Alas, the wait begins…
