Biography

Jane's Addiction were one of the most hotly pursued rock bands when they gained notice in Los Angeles in the mid-'80s. Flamboyant frontman Perry Farrell had an undeniable charisma and an interest in provocative art, and the band played a hybrid of rock music: metal with strains of punk, folk, and jazz. The quartet's 1988 album, Nothing's Shocking, spent 35 weeks on the charts, while their commercial breakthrough, Ritual de lo Habitual, followed in 1990, reaching the Top 20. Farrell designed the traveling rock festival Lollapalooza as a farewell tour for Jane's Addiction in 1991. ~ William Ruhlmann
