| Frontman Perry Farrell |
Jane's Addiction was
formed out of the remains of front man Perry Farrell’s previous band, Psi Com.
1985, Farrell searched for a new bass player for the faltering Psi-com when he was
introduced to Eric Avery, who became the new member. Eric Avery, left the band
in early 2010 as the group began work on new material.
Jane's Addiction was one
of the first bands from the early 1990s alternative rock movement to gain both
mainstream media attention and commercial success in the United States.
The band's first two studio albums, Nothing's
Shocking(1988) and Ritual de lo Habitual (1990), were released to
widespread critical acclaim, and an increasing cult fan-base. As a result,
Jane's Addiction became icons of what Farrell dubbed the "Alternative
Nation.
The band's initial
farewell tour, in 1991, launched the first Lollapalooza, which has since become
a perennial alternative rock festival.
The band briefly reunited
in 1997, with Flea, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, replacing Avery on bass
guitar. In 2001, a second reunion took place, with Martyn LeNoble - and later
Chris Chaney - occupying the role of bass guitarist. In 2003, the band released its third studio
album, Strays, before dissolving again the following year. In 2008, the
band's original line-up reunited and embarked on a world tour. The band
released its fourth studio album, The Great Escape Artist, in 2011, with
Chaney returning to the band for its recording and subsequent tour.
