Biography

JANES ADDICTION formed in the late eighties led by the flamboyant Perry Farrell, the band stood out as an incomparable force blending elements of art rock, punk, metal, funk and glamour into an ambitious musical juxtaposition of sublime beauty and utter decadence.

Early performances gained the band a reputation for legendary live shows and many still regard those first-run Jane's concerts as almost religious experiences. In the seventeen years since the original line-up's last performance, there has been an ebb and flow of band formations and side projects until... In April 2008, Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery reformed to play again. NME was there to witness one of their UK shows and were left in awe... “The music is seismic. Gigs simply don't come much better. They can't. To have them back is a crazy privilege.”

“One of the most pivotal bands in the evolution of rock n’ roll. That’s the magic that JANES ADDICTION brings, and that’s why this band will always matter.” – Crave Online
