Jane's Addiction reuniting for "NME Awards" in LA

"one night only" my arse.

pass.

"Eric Avery included...."

That was my first thought! The shows with Flea on bass were OK.

One night only my ass is correct...as they will drive out to the desert and play Coachella 2 nights later.

U heard it here first.

No one's leaving.

that is fucking cool that Eric Avery is playing too.....that would be funny if they played Coachella and not Lollapalooza...

he gave in weak. i thought he was cool.

97 halloween at hammerstein was pristine tho

why? a little thing called $$$

let's hope it's not a "one night only." Jane's with Eric Avery is what we've been waiting for!

would have thought there was still bad blood between Perry and Dave/Stephen after they broke up the reunited Janes and started The Panic Channel with that tool from MTV..

please go on tour!

last time they toured, they had morphed into a hippie jam band and fucking toured with Live. old Jane reunited would be great. but now they they are fucking hippies, it will be gross. maybe they csn get Bush or the Gin Blossoms to open for them

And like most things you hear in the comments section of this blog U heard it here last. I can promise you they are not going to play Coachella. Anon 11:18am, you are a fucking twat.

everybody's so full of shit!

everybody. everybody. everybody. everybody. everybodayayayayayayayeew.

5:54 killed it.

"[they've] done more than any other band to introduce American alternative music to the mainstream" little ole' arrogant/useless NME should take some music history lessons before they come to the states. The Pixies & REM were doing 'alternative' music in the late 80's, and had more commercial success in my opinion, at least REM anyway. Jane's was great (having seen them back in 1990 for $18 bucks at MSG w/the Happy Mondays) but gone quicker then a locomotive.

Carbon/Silicon, the super power pairing of punk icons Mick Jones (The Clash) and Tony James (Generation X), will be performing at the inaugural NME Awards in Los Angeles on April 23rd, 2008 at the El Rey Theatre. They have just wrapped a cross-country US tour with band mates Leo ‘E-zee-Kill’ Williams (Big Audio Dynamite, Dreadzone) on bass guitar and Dominic Greensmith (Reef) on drums. Carbon/Silicon will cap off their trek with a performance at Coachella in April 25th.

Mick Jones, founding member of The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite and Carbon/Silicon will receive the Inspiration Award at the NME Awards USA ceremony.

Mick Jones was voted NME’s Godlike Genius in the UK with his Clash bandmates in 2003. Music fans can watch the awards on Wednesday in Los Angeles, including the performance from Carbon/Silicon, live on myspace/nmemagazine.com.

NME Editor Conor McNicholas says: “The Inspiration Award is hotly debated amongst the NME editors but the decision we reached was unanimous – Mick Jones is a true hero to NME. The Clash were the magnificent reason most of us got into alternative music in the first place, but Mick has never been one to rest on his laurels. With Big Audio Dynamite he pioneered sampling techniques and helped introduce hip-hop to reggae and rock. And still not content with that, he now fronts Carbon/Silicon, discovering yet more new ways to excite us. “Mick is an innovator, a visionary, a class songwriter, a great singer and a demon guitarist but that’s not all. He truly is an inspiration. His restless spirit recently drew him to produce The Libertines and to collaborate with Richard Archer of Hard Fi among others – Mick providing the young head on old shoulders… or should that be the other way round? Mick’s spirit, sense of mischief and dedication to the rock’n’roll cause make it a real pleasure and honor for NME to name him our Inspiration Award winner in 2008. We are also thrilled that Carbon/Silicon will be performing at the event and can’t wait to see what they’ve got up their sleeves on what promises to be a brilliant night.”

The NME Awards USA, will be streamed live on Myspace on April 23 at 9pm (PST). Hosted by Jim Jefferies, music fans will see performances from Carbon/Silicon, Jane's Addiction, The Lemonheads, Does It Offend You, Yeah? and Har Mar Superstar.

I saw the original line up in 1991 (Brisbane Australia) and it changed my life...art, pure art.
