Perry Farrell
Jane’s Addiction recently announced they’ll be celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark album Nothing’s Shocking with a series of shows in Las Vegas.
When they were in Toronto last summer Perry Ferrell took some time to talk about what the band went through to get that album out into the world.

Porno For Pyros
When Jane’s Addiction rolled into Toronto recently for the Rockstar Uproar tour I managed to corral Perry Farrell into talking about something entirely different — Porno For Pyros.
The band Farrell spent much of the ’90s in will be making a comeback of sorts in the near future. They’ve recorded some songs and will be going on on tour.

Lollapalooza 1991
If you grew of age musically in the “alternative” era just like I did, you probably consider Lollapalooza a pretty big deal.
And that would be because it WAS a big deal.
It turns out the 21st anniversary of the first ever Lollapalooza show happened a couple days ago, so I put together a wee gallery over at Spinner to celebrate.

Courtney Love of Hole
It was tough being a music fan when “alternative” broke. Suddenly everyone thought The Smiths were their band and Soundgarden were considered as good as Black Sabbath. Worse, if you brought your hot new Nirvana Nevermind cassettes to house parties you’d get them stolen. Twice. Fuck you anonymous Nevermind cassette stealers.
Anyway, it was with that wealth of knowledge and experience that I wrote the story Where Are They Now? 20 Years After Alternative Broke for Spinner. In said story you can find helpful updates on the likes of L7, NIN, Blur, Pearl Jam and all those other faves of Gen Xers.
