The idea of big bands playing small rooms is always a special experience for the fans, but for JANE'S ADDICTION, this will also take them back to re-play some of their early classic shows in legendary clubs. JANE'S 1988 two night stand at the Cabaret Metro for Nothing's Shocking are still considered by many Chicagoans as some of the greatest rock club shows of all time.
JANE'S ADDICTION will also team with Citi to offer Citi cardmembers exclusive VIP packages, custom launch show merchandise and unique opportunities to interact with the band. More information on these experiences can also be found at www.citiprivatepass.com.
Jane's Addiction was represented by entertainment marketing consultant Al Hassas and their manager
Peter Katsis.
Meanwhile, JANE'S ADDICTION recently debuted their official brand new single 'Irresistible Force,' which is now bulleted at No 10 on the Alternative
Radio Airplay Chart after only five weeks. The song-a swirling, moody and epic composition-is taken from the band's much-anticipated new album THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST. The video is now available for viewing at: https://goo.gl/eBlHe
The album also features 'End To The Lies,' a pre-single teaser track which the band made available to their fans as a free download this past April. For their first new studio album by in eight years, JANE'S ADDICTION joined forces with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol), with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek on the creative 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.
