A major force on the alternative music scene in the 1990s, Jane’s Addiction headlined the first Lollapalooza festival, which travelled across North America in mid-1991.
Created by Jane’s Addiction lead vocalist, Perry Farrell, and Marc Geiger, the festival eventually became a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction in 1993, but at the time it was a music festival with bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Butthole Surfers, Fishbone, The Rollins Band, The Violent Femmes, Body Count, and Ice T.
Returning to the music scene in 2003 with the album Strays, Jane’s Addiction picked up where they left off with their caustic experimental sound.
Seven years later, the same creative force is behind a new album that the group is fine tuning with the hope of releasing it next summer.
When bassist Eric Avery left the band, Jane’s Addiction put out a call to Duff McKagan, best known for playing with Guns N ‘Roses, but after only six months, the unique band does not seem to suit to him, he left on tour. For this latest opus, the Los Angeles band will have to find a new sidekick for the job.
