Perry Farrell's Makin' Music...With the Guy From Extreme
Ex-Jane's Addiction frontman and Lollapalooza co-founder Perry Farrell hasn't given up making music since Jane's Addiction dissolved for a second time last year. He has a new project, called the Satellite Party, and he says that one of the musicians involved might be a little surprising: "The person that you might know that is playing guitar is Nuno Bettencourt. He's one of the great guitarists. He was in the group Extreme, and he's gonna be playing guitar. But what we have is a hybrid of electronics, live musicians, dancers and fine artists."
Percussionist Gabriele Corcos, who's married to actress Debi Mazar, is the third regular member of the Satellite Party. Farrell, who says the music is a combination of rock, electronica, house and hip-hop, plans to stage the act's first live appearance at this summer's Lollapalooza, scheduled for July 23rd and 24th in Chicago, Illinois.
The Satellite Party has been recording its debut album for several months, although Farrell says that he doesn't see it coming out until 2006.
Guests on the record include guitarist John Frusciante and bassist Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, Porno For Pyros guitarist Peter DiStefano, New Order bassist Peter Hook and former Chili Peppers/Pearl Jam drummer Jack Irons.
Farrell told MTV.com that he also hopes to make a new album next year with Porno For Pyros, the band he formed in the mid-Nineties after Jane's Addiction first broke up.

Well, between Flea and Peter Hook on bass, and Irons on drums, and with Nuno, it certainly won't be lacking for musicianship. But that doesn't guarantee it will work.(i.e. Navarro in the Chili Peppers). Be interesting to hear anyway....
