BraveWords.com has received the following press release:
Surrounded by piñatas, sombreros and green, white and red flags in celebration of Cinco de Mayo, JANE’S ADDICTION threw quite a fiesta last night at the intimate Bardot in Hollywood, CA where 150 or so fans and friends squeezed together to experience the very first show by lead singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins with new member, bassist Duff McKagan (ex-GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER).
The band roared through a seven-song set that marked the debut of a new song, 'Soulmate', mixed in with the band’s epic scorchers 'Stop', 'Mountain Song', 'Had A Dad', 'Whores', 'Ain’t No Right' and 'Ocean Size'.
Cheering the band on were actors Joaquin Phoenix and Danny and Chris Masterson, as well as pro-skater Danny Way, along with musician friends Tom Morello (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, AUDIOSLAVE), Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke (both ex-GN'R) and FISHBONE's Chris Dowd. If it weren’t for the fact that they performed in an open air patio, Jane’s Addiction would have blown the roof of the club. The not-so-secret show was announced a few days before at janesaddiction.org and lucky fans were wrist-banded for the event.
Jane’s Addiction is now continuing to write for their next album, tentatively due out in the winter of 2011 on Capitol and to be supported by a worldwide concert tour.
