First Public Performance of The Re-tooled Jane’s Addiction

Last night at Perry Farrell’s fifty-first Birthday celebration a re-tooled Jane’s Addiction took the stage with bassist Duff McKagan. The show at Les Deux marks the first public performance by the band since Duff entered the fray.

I’m uncertain of the set or set time but the band definitely played a cover of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love. Dave Navarro wanting the proper tone I presume, can be seen playing a Les Paul in the following photos.

Thanks go out to Todd Newman for tweeting these pics.

I was told last week by Perry that writing and work would be in full effect starting this week. Today both Perry and Dave made it official via Twitter. Jane’s Addiction have begun work on a new album.

From Perry:

Today the first day of writing for Jane’s. We are meeting up in the city weekdays. Today’s my first drive. I love LA, but it’s roads agony.

From Dave:

Perry Injures Leg In Atlanta

According to Etty Farrell and Eric Avery’s twitter feeds, Perry Farrell tore a calf muscle last night during the NIN/JA show in Atlanta, GA last night.  The injury happened during Three Days, Jane’s Addiction’s opening song.  Perry, the consummate performer, powered through the pain and Jane’s was able to complete their set.  Perry has been given the recommendation to stay off his leg for a week.  I doubt this will lead to Jane’s canceling any dates, it will just limit what Perry can do on stage.  If any dates are canceled, I will let you know.

Perry celebrated his 50th birthday this past weekend at the Mirage in Las Vegas with the aptly named “Perrypalooza”.  There were a number of performances that night from various celebrities.  Jane’s Addiction closed out the night, but equally as important is the fact that this night was the first time in 12 years that Porno For Pyros performed together.  Perry, Steve, Martyn and Pete cranked out Meija and Tahitian Moon.

Here are a couple of articles for those who want to read about all the fun:
