 | Janes Addiction Video Showcase [ Edit ] Site Reviews (0) Jane's Addiction emerged on the Los Angeles music scene during the 1980s with a style influenced by punk, heavy metal, gothic rock, and psychedelic rock styles; singer Perry Farrell once described the band as a cross between Duke Ellington and Bad Brains. The band was one of the first of the burgeoning alternative rock movement to gain mainstream media attention and commercial success in the United States. Their initial farewell tour launched the first Lollapalooza festival, an annual touring alternative rock showcase. As a result, Jane's Addiction became icons of what Farrell dubbed the "Alternative Nation" during the 1990s. Added: Dec 2, 2007 Category: Musicians and Bands Hits In: 158 Hits Out: 42 |
