I’m a little late posting this as it was lost in the deluge of email in my inbox, but Spin covered the Jane’s Addiction Cinco de Mayo show at The Bardot. Check out the interview here, or after the jump.
Thursday evening, Jane’s Addiction recorded an appearance for the upcoming TV series Guitar Center Sessions, a high-definition 3D television series for DirecTV. This included the band performing a handful of songs and doing a Q&A with the show’s host. The band discussed their roots, their past break ups, the addition of Duff McKagan, writing new songs, and much more. The live performances included semi-acoustic versions of Ain’t No Right, Been Caught Stealing, Jane Says, and the introduction of a new song titled Broken People. If that weren’t enough, after the band finished playing Been Caught Stealing, Dave asked Perry “do you remember this one…” and broke into the classic song City, which Perry joined right in on. This marks the first time since 1988 that the guys performed this song.
This session was an extremely intimate performance in front of approximately 30 people, and to our own amazement, included JanesAddiction.org’s own Mike and myself . After the performance, we were able to watch the playback in 3D, which was truly amazing. We’re not sure when this episode will air, but as soon as we know, we will let you know.
I just uploaded about 75 pictures I took before and during last night’s show at The Bardot. You can check them out here:
There are already about a dozen people waiting outside the Bardot for tonight’s Jane’s Addiction show. Posting this from my iPhone, so my apologies for any odd typos or formatting.
We will be covering tonight’s Jane’s Addiction show, and hopefully posting some mobile updates from the Bardot before and right after the concert. So keep your eyes peeled, and maybe check out our twitter feed for some other mobile goodies.
edit – fixed the venue typo, sorry, I’m going on about 3hrs of sleep

The Daily Swarm is reporting that Jane’s Addiction will be playing a free concert with Rage Against the Machine on June 6 at Finsbury Park in London, England. However, last night on Dark Matter, Dave Navarro denied that this is going on. So is this concert really going to happen? Have the details not been locked down yet? We’ll let you know as soon as we can confirm or deny this show taking place.
From everyone at JanesAddiction.org, we’d like to wish Eric Avery a Happy Birthday!
Spinner.com has a quick interview with Perry where he mentions a possible title for the next Jane’s Addiction album, due in 2011. That title is “The Great Escape Artist”. Perry also talks about some of the other songs the band has been working on, once again mentioning the tracks Top Dog and also revealing another working song titles Oh Magic and The Art Of The Great Escape.
