Porno For Pyros Hit The Road
Coming to your town? If your're lucky.

Porno For Pyros began their North American tour this past Wed. (June 12) with a show at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, B.C. According to our man on the scene, Gerry McConkey, the group delivered a powerful, but all too short, performance. A highlight was the rockin' "Goin' Down the Mountain." Reports McConkey: "A clean shaven Mike Watt did not fail to deliver bass work to die for; Stephen Perkins' percussion lived up to all expectations; Peter DiStefano's crunching guitar satisfied. New additions, besides Watt, are Thomas Johnson and Martina, who provided strong background vocals. Farrell used lots of reverb and chorus effects on his voice, recreating that Jane's Addiction sound. He whirled and swayed, a small, bottle chugging, love spreading dervish." The group came back for just one encore, an unplugged version of "Kimberley Austin." Oh yeah, Farrell distributed plastic flowers to the audience. How quaint.
