Jane’s Addiction

On August 26, 1986, Jane’s Addiction performed live on KXLU, just a year before the release of their debut studio album, 'Nothing's Shocking,' which would come out in 1988. At this point in their career, the band was still carving out their identity on the Los Angeles music scene, blending punk rock with elements of metal and alternative influences. This live recording captures the raw energy and experimental edge that would soon define their sound. The atmosphere must've been electric, with fans eager for a taste of what was to come. Notably, the band's charismatic frontman, Perry Farrell, began to make his mark as a key figure in alternative rock, setting the stage for a new wave of music in the late '80s. This performance serves as a fascinating glimpse into their early days, filled with passion and ambition, ultimately leading to a massive influence on the music landscape.
