David Michael Navarro, 7 June 1967, Santa Monica, California, USA), bass player Eric Avery (b. 25 April 1965) and drummer Stephen Perkins (b. 13 September 1967, Los Angeles, California, USA), Jane's Addiction incorporated elements of punk, rock, folk and funk into a unique and unpredictable soundscape.
They debuted with a live album on the independent Triple X label, recorded at Hollywood's Roxy venue, which received widespread critical acclaim, despite a throwaway cover version of Lou Reed's "Rock 'n Roll' and Farrell's limited stage banter, largely consisting of profanities. Drawing inspiration from the Doors, PiL, the Velvet Underground and Faith No More, they set about delivering a hypnotic and thought-provoking blend of intoxicating rhythms, jagged and off-beat guitar lines and high-pitched vocals of mesmeric intensity. Their third album, 1990's Ritual De Lo Habitual, was a work of depth and complexity that required repeated listening to reveal its hidden melodies, subtle nuances and enigmatic qualities. « hide |
