Porno For Pyros Play First Full Set Since 1998 at Welcome to Rockville
Porno For Pyros played their first full set since 1998 yesterday (May 22) at the Welcome to Rockville festival at Daytona Motor Speedway in Daytona, Florida. The group was a short-notice replacement for fellow Perry Farrell-led act Jane’s Addiction, who canceled due to what it said was guitarist Dave Navarro’s “long bout with COVID.” Yesterday, Farrell was backed by Porno For Pyros guitarist Peter DiStefano as well as on-again/off-again bassist Mike Watt. Original drummer Stephen Perkins was announced last week as part of the lineup but did not perform due to a “bad infection,” according to Farrell. He was replaced by his drum tech. The group’s 13-song set was comprised of six songs from its self-titled 1993 debut, including the hit single “Pets,” and three from 1996’s Good God’s Urge. Fou...
Porno for Pyros Are Replacing Jane’s Addiction at Welcome to Rockville
The Welcome to Rockville festival is slated to take place this weekend in Daytona Beach. Foo Fighters previously dropped off the bill and were replaced by Nine Inch Nails. Today, another change took place to the lineup and it’s an interesting one. Swapping one Perry Farrell-fronted band for the other, Porno for Pyros will replace Jane’s Addiction’s Sunday night set. Welcome to Rockville starts on Thursday night and takes place at Daytona International Speedway. A two-song performance during the Lollapalooza 2020 livestream withstanding, this will be Porno for Pyros’ first proper show since 1998, though setlist.fm lists the band’s last real show together as having taken place in 1998. According to a statement posted on Welcome to Rockville’s socials, Dave Navarro is dealing with an unannoun...

Perry Farrell’s Voice Box Was Temporarily Removed During Spinal Surgery
When Perry Farrell went in for spinal surgery in September, he didn’t realize that it would involve the removal of a very important organ. “They had to remove my voice box and put it on a table. That was daunting,” the Jane’s Addiction frontman said in an interview with Classic Rock magazine. Farrell was undergoing surgery to remove “crushed discs” in his spinal cord, which he associated with “mostly from partying and leaning back my head to rip out notes and surfing and dancing around.” The surgery was successful and even said he’s “a quarter-inch taller.” “They literally exposed my skeleton, took the discs out and put in artificial discs,” he said. “So now I am a quarter inch taller and twice as attractive to my wife.̶...
Porno For Pyros Play ‘Pets’ and ‘Kimberly Austin’ at Lollapalooza Stream
When Lollapalooza moved its festival from Grant Park in Chicago to everyone’s computer screens due to the pandemic, the longtime music fest also promised the return of Porno For Pyros. And last night (July 31), the original members — Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins and Peter DiStefano with Mike Watt (a member of PFP in 1996-1997) — delivered. The set took place in a Southern California backyard and was performed acoustically. They played their hit, “Pets” off their self-titled 1993 debut as well as “Kimberly Austin,” a deep cut from the 1997 sophomore LP Good God’s Urge. Despite the lack of a mic and the potential need of increasing the volume a little to hear Farrell’s vocals come through at full force, it was a solid set and makes you forget its been years since they all played live ...
