After compiling a list of FAQ, the most popular inquiry on Twitter has
been, "When are we gonna get tour dates?" Well those are coming SOON!
Right now we are in high gear routing the upcoming tour with NIN and
as soon as we have a confirmed tour, you will know. Trust me... It's
not like we have the dates and are holding them hostage... We want you
to come! I can't think of a better way to start up again then a tour
with the original four members of Jane's and NIN.
The original Jane's line up: After many years of different versions of
Jane's Addiction, Eric Avery has re-claimed his position. We have had
the honor of working with some great bass players over the years...
Flea, Martyn Le Noble and Chris Chaney... But the Jane's sound was
never complete without Eric. With Eric holding down the bottom, the
Jane's rhythm section is once again complete. It's almost as if he and
Perk live together symbiotically, to create a singular overwhelming
sonic onslaught that ebbs and flows like a musical ocean. Perk and
Avery not only bring out the best in each other, their ability to lock
and weave with one another challenges and inspires me as a guitarist.
NIN/JA: Since our reformation, we have been spending a lot of time
with Trent in the rehearsal studio and in the recording studio,
working on new stuff, addressing some old stuff and more importantly,
creating a friendship and working relationship. It's rare that touring
partners have an opportunity to spend so much time together creatively
before a tour. Regardless of the collaborative outcome our time with
Trent has brought forth a new focus and sense of purpose that we plan
to share with you on a nightly basis. NIN and Jane's are vastly
different bands, for sure, but we have always had a connection as a
result of our time together on Lolla One and various shows together.
NIN/JA shows have always been "events" more than anything. Back in the
day, Jane's was winding down as NIN was taking off. Our musical lives
crossed each other at a very important time in music. A time where
artistry and live performance meant something more. A time when the
corporate structures took notice of the value in what was happening,
but hadn't yet destroyed it. Touring with NIN is an invitation for us to re-capture that spirit that was at a time, inspiring, dangerous and emotionally compelling, as they have always maintained the same integrity that brought me to love music in the first place.
