Free Jane’s Addiction Tracks

by Mr Christian on April 12, 2009

So the ever volatile, fiendishly delightful original line up of Jane’s Addiction (my favorite band of all time) is back together for a tour and… Of course the band could also implode at any second and it could all go up in smoke. Bassist Eric Avery left Jane’s a long time ago for a reason and I’m crossing my fingers that he hangs around for a while. The pulsing, driving rhythms that he and drummer Steven Perkins created were an ebbing, flowing and crashing ocean around which Dave Navarro and Perry Farrell layered their wailing guitar and banshee like histrionics.

I hear they have been playing around in the studio with NIN’s Trent Reznor and may or may not be working on a couple of new songs. They did however record studio versions of Chip Away and Whores which were originally released as live tracks on their 1987 eponymous debut. In exchange for a lousy email address you can get those two songs plus two each from Nine Inch Nails and Street Sweeper all for free! Just go to the NIN|JA 2009 website, give them an email and you can download a high quality MP3 version or even a lossless FLAC version of the EP for free… did I say free? You’ll get a torrent file and then you just have to fire up your Bit Torrent client for some free tunes!

So they are doing the NIN|JA 2009 tour with Nine Inch Nails and Street Sweeper at The Comcast Center in Mansfield on June 3rd. See you there.
