Jane’s Addiction Goes West
After taking a few months off the road, Perry Farrell & Co. returned to the stage on Saturday for the Lollapalooza after-show at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, followed by Monday’s gig in Cleveland.
The “Theatre Of The Escapists Tour” is Jane’s chance to show off material from its fourth studio album, 2011’s The Great Escape Artist, in a live setting alongside dancers and theatre actors. Earlier this year the band invited “interesting characters” including poets, actors, old-fashioned barbers, tattoo artists and speak-easy style party photographers to set the mood for the show in the lobbies of the theatres each night.
