Jane's Addiction Unlocks Four Disc "Cabinet of Curiosities"

Just in time for the reunited Jane's Addiction's summer tour, the long-in-the-works rarities collection "A Cabinet of Curiosities" will arrive on April 21. The 3-CD/DVD Rhino box set is packed with demos, live performances, non-album tracks, and remixes.

 

Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins has been sorting though the band's unreleased material for almost two years to put together "Curiosities," which features 43 audio tracks and an 11-song DVD. "As far as the packaging and the content, it's going to be loaded," he told Billboard in January 2008. "We're hoping to step it up into kind of a more 'collector's item' sort of situation. As far as the content, I've got a whole six or seven boxes full of stuff. We're going through it with Warner Bros., and seeing what's appropriate -- what's usable as far as, 'How far do we want to go with lo-fi?'"

 

The resulting "Curiosities" collection, which will be released both digitally and as a $74.98 limited-edition wooden cabinet, focuses entirely on the band's original foursome of singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, Perkins, and bassist Erik Avery. Material recorded with the later Avery-less incarnation is not included.

 

While the first two discs are comprised mostly of previously unreleased demos and little-heard compilation tracks, the third disc is a complete Jane's Addiction live concert recorded during the band's three-night run at the Hollywood Palladium in December 1990. The DVD includes the rare VHS-only short film "Soul Kiss," music videos and three unreleased live clips taped for MTV Italy in 1990.

 

As previously reported, the original lineup of Jane's Addiction is touring with Nine Inch Nails this summer and are also set to headline May's Sasquatch Festival in Washington State.

Used to be my favorite band; and my all-time favorite album used to be Nothing's Shocking. I would certainly be curious to hear some of this stuff, but just as certainly will not be spending this kind of money on it.

Jane’s Addiction Bassist Quits Via Twitter

 

Published: 2010/03/03

 

Bassist Eric Avery has quit Jane’s Addiction again. Avery announced his departure to fans via Twitter message that said, “With equal parts regret and relief, the Jane’s Addiction experiment is at an end.” Avery originally left Jane’s Addiction in 1991 and sat out the band’s numerous reunion runs. To the surprise of many, Avery rejoined the band in 2008 and toured with the band through an Australian tour that came to a close earlier this week. Both Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro responded to Avery’s departure via Twitter as well.

 

According to Reuters, Guns N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan will replace Avery. Jane’s Addiction is said to be working on a new studio album.

Have tickets in hand for their September 24th Chicago show.

 

I am hoping they just postpone the tour, so Farrell can get help.

 

The whole thing is unfortunate and sad.
