Jane’s Addiction Reportedly Recording New Songs

Jane’s Addiction has reportedly started work on new material. Although it’s unclear if the new music will actually result in a new album, the Pulse of Radio, via Blabbermouth, contends that the band entered the studio on Monday.

Responding to a fan’s Facebook inquiry about whether the band would in fact write new songs, Stereokill reports frontman Perry Farrell wrote over the weekend, “Monday we get together to write new music and craft a future.”

The original Jane’s members tried to make things work in the studio early last year before hitting the road for a spring, but things faltered. ” I’ll be honest with you. We started to record and things got kind of ugly,” Farrell later confessed to The Pulse of Radio. “It’s one of those things where the headbutting really came out when we tried to write and people were like, ‘Well, I don’t like that … ‘ But you know what? I’m very patient, because it’s only been, what, 18 years, so I can’t expect things overnight to be perfect.”

Fans have speculated if original bassist Eric Avery will be involved in the project. Avery, who reunited with the band in 2008 after 17 years apart, is missing from a recent band photo and he missed out on the band’s New Year’s Eve show in Aspen, Colo. He is still, however, scheduled to perform with the band on an Australian tour in February.
