I don't think I have ever listened to at the drive in
Neither have I . I assumed that they were a scenie, screamo, or crappy pop punk band.
not really. it's more like prog-hardcore, but not all math-y like dillinger and they don't have the typical hardcore shout. they're kind of an entity of their own. 'relationship of command' is one of my top 10 albums of all time.
From the beginning, JANE'S ADDICTION has thrown the most unique parties in rock, mixing a fierce musicality with theatrical flair onstage. 2012 sees the band — who've always outrageously combined electricity, sex and danger — return in support of their acclaimed album "The Great Escape Artist" (Capitol Records), which features the now-buzzing-at-radio track "Underground". Starting February 22, this special run of North American shows — called "Theatre Of The Escapists" — will bring the band to intimate venues, most of which are classic theatres. The alternative rock pioneers — frontman Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins, along with Chris Chaney on bass — are poised to deliver an immersive theatrical experience as only they can. Tickets go on sale January 14, with a pre-sale set for 10:00 EST this Wednesday, January 11. There will be a special package on JanesAddiction.com where fans can pair up their presale ticket with a high-quality lithograph. The lithograph will be signed by the band and sold only at the JanesAddiction.com presale.
"We chose to play as many of the great theatres that we could find because we wanted to immerse the audience in a unique experience unlike any they have ever seen at a rock show," says Farrell. "Expect an orgy of musical and visual delights. We like orgies, and hope you do too."
The cities for JANE'S ADDICTION's "Theatre of the Escapists" tour, with support act BLACK BOX REVELATION, are as follows:
