June 13, 2007 - Forgive Perry Farrell if his post-Jane's Addiction outfit Porno For Pyros fell a tad flat. In hindsight, maybe he worried a bit too much about what Jane may have said, delivering a debut that played a little too close to his seminal band's chest-pumping vest, and not providing enough of the color and flair that made the band such a seminal bridge between alt-rock fashion and hard-rock furor. There's no shortage of that color and flair in Farrell's new Satellite Party; he-man bravado, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. And that's definitely for the best.

The new band featuring the leader of rock icons Jane's Addiction may have been one of the first acts to take the stage for the three-day festival (4/27-29), but it was also one of the best of the more than 150 performers, headlined by Bjork, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine.
March 19, 2007 - Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros may be things of the past, but the man at the center of both--one Mr. Perry Farrell--remains the same quirky, ebullient, theatrical, musical soul, as evidenced by his Friday (3/16) performance in Austin.
