Janes Addiction

Jane's Addiction was an American rock band featuring Perry Farrell (vocalist), Dave Navarro (guitarist), Eric Avery (bassist), and Stephen Perkins (percussionist). The band formed in Los Angeles in the mid- 1980s and dissolved in 1991. They briefly toured in 1997 and then returned in the early 2000s before breaking up again.  Jane's Addiction emerged on the Los Angeles music scene during the 1980s with a style influenced by punk, heavy metal, funk, gothic rock, progressive rock and psychedelic styles; singer Perry Farrell once described the band as a cross between Duke Ellington and Bad Brains. The band was one of the first of the burgeoning alternative rock movement to gain mainstream media attention and commercial success in the United States. Their initial farewell tour launched the first Lollapalooza festival, an annual touring alternative rock showcase, and its success helped popularize the genre. As a result, Jane's Addiction became icons of what Farrell dubbed the "Alternative Nation" during the 1990s.  See Janes Addiction LIVE!  Purchase your Janes Addiction tickets today!
