JANE'S ADDICTION Performance To Be Streamed Live From San Francisco This Tuesday

Coming off a fiery performance this past Friday night (May 6) at the 7th Annual MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit honoring Depeche Mode lead singer Dave Gahan and Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman, JANE’S ADDICTION will perform a live concert Tuesday, May 10 during the Google I/O Developer Conference at Moscone Center in San Francisco, which will be livestreamed in state-of-the-art HD. The performance by the groundbreaking band’s Perry Farrell (lead vocals), Dave Navarro (guitars) and Stephen Perkins (drums), with Chris Chaney on bass, is part of the Google I/O After Hours party and will also feature San Francisco DJs Mark Farina and Miguel Migs, with music visuals by Sexyvisuals. Google will be live streaming the private concert from I/O Live at www.google.com/io from 7:30 - 9:30 P.M. PDT.

Look for JANE’S ADDICTION to perform a set encompassing classics and material from their upcoming album THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST, to be released this August on Capitol Records (exact date TBA). It will mark their first new studio album in eight years. The band recently gave away a free download of the song ''End To The Lies''—teeming with “exotic rhythms and twisted guitars” (Edna Gundersen, USA Today, 4/19/2011) exclusively at their website: http://www.janesaddiction.com. The free download of "End To The Lies" is available via http://goo.gl/cAGZO.

For THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST, JANE'S ADDICTION are working with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol), with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek on the team. Sitek, best known for his production work on TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Foals, is writing, programming, and playing bass on the album. The band, with Chris Chaney on bass, will be touring throughout 2011.

Forming in 1985 in L.A., JANE'S ADDICTION has been firmly embedded in the collective pop culture consciousness for 25 years now. Perry Farrell stands out as one of music's most forward-thinking and enigmatic frontmen. Dave Navarro remains a veritable guitar god. Drummer Stephen Perkins' tribal stomp has also influenced a generation of percussionists. The hugely influential Los Angeles-based band has sold in excess of seven million records in the U.S. alone. When lead singer Perry Farrell created the traveling Lollapalooza festival, it galvanized the alternative rock movement and brought it to a whole new level.

JANE'S ADDICTION have written the rule book for alternative music and culture through a combination of genre-defying classic songs and a cinematic live experience. Great bands break rules, but legends write their own.

Google I/O brings together thousands of developers for two days of deep technical content at Google’s largest developer event of the year. Focused on building the next generation of web, mobile, and enterprise applications with Google and open web technologies, Google I/O will take place on May 10 and 11 at Moscone West in San Francisco. Developers who aren’t able to attend the event in person can join viewing parties around the world through I/O Extended, or can watch from home through I/O Live. http://www.google.com/io
