Traveling for editorial work can often be described as the arduous task of getting from point A to B at the whims of the airport gods, the weather gods, and the management gods.  It is often the case that the easier something seems to be at the start, the crazier things will get as the situation progresses: this definitely was the case as we headed into the DeLuna Festival.

Staffer  Derrick Victa (@dee_vic) and myself intended to touch down early on Friday morning;  leaving the confines of San Francisco early the previous morning. I was caught in a weather layover at Washington-Dulles that lasted deep into …

Jane’s Addiction – Irresistible Force @delunafest @janesaddiction (Video & MP3)

Besides headlining this weekend’s DeLuna Festival in Pensacola, Florida,  the Jane’s Addiction crew is preparing to launch their latest effort, The Great Escape Artist in the following week.  The lead single, ‘Irresistible Force’, a collaboration with Dave Sitek is indicative of what happens when the musical DNA of a grown Jane’s Addiction and the production mind behind TV on the Radio and Maximum Balloon are allowed to intertwine.  Musically plush, the moody orchestral base are married and dance with the vocal progressions provided by Jane’s front man, Perry Farrell; this is marriage driven home further after viewing the accompanying video after the break.  If this first track is any indication of the musicianship contained within their upcoming LP, …

Jane Addiction ft. Dave Sitek :: “End to the Lies” (MP3)

Why is URB posting the first song to come online from Jane’s Addiction’s next album? What are we, Spin circa 1990? Well, the new tune features TV on the Radio / Maximum Balloon man Dave Sitek on bass as well as production duties. And the result? Jane’s still isn’t the same without the Eric Avery’s insanely catch bass parts (who here didn’t learn the riff to “Mountain Song” when they were in High School), and Perry Farrell can’t hoot and hollar the way he used to. But Sitek does add some cool studio trickery, espeically in the intro, which kinda makes you imagine what could happen if Mad Professor got ahold of the master tapes from Ritual de lo Habitual. But it’s still fundamentally by the numbers alt-rock, which is to be expected I guess. …MORE
