JANE'S ADDICTION: 'Guitar Center Sessions' Appearance to Air In September

August 16, 2010

JANE'S ADDICTION will appear in the second episode of "Guitar Center Sessions", a high-definition 3D television series for DirecTV. The program will air sometime in September (exact date to be announced).

JANE'S ADDICTION's appearance on "Guitar Center Sessions" was taped in May 2010 and featured the band performing a handful of songs and taking part in an interview with the show's host. According to JanesAddiction.org, the band discussed its roots, past breakups, the addition of bassist Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES),writing new songs and much more. The live performances included semi-acoustic versions of "Ain't No Right", "Been Caught Stealing", "Jane Says", "City" (marks the first time since 1988 that the guys performed this track) and a new song called "Broken People".

"With 'Guitar Center Sessions' we feel that we've created an opportunity that will inspire and help musicians," Dustin Hinz, Director of Music and Entertainment Marketing for Guitar Center, said in a press release.

"For the show it was key that we create an intimate environment," he added. "The audience . . . makes this a unique television experience geared towards helping musicians become better at their craft."

JANE'S ADDICTION has tapped Rich Costey as producer for the band's next album, tentatively due out in the winter of 2011 on Capitol.

Costey's extensive experience in the studio includes album production for such bands as MUSE and FRANZ FERDINAND as well as having studio credits for engineering, programming and mixing for WEEZER, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, DOVES and JURASSIC 5, among others.

JANE'S ADDICTION — which wrote the rule book for alternative music and culture through a combination of genre-defying classic songs and a cinematic live experience — is now in Los Angeles working on the new CD, having returned from potent concerts overseas in at the Gelredome in The Netherlands June 9 (with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and GOGOL BORDELLO) and Rock In Rio in Madrid, Spain June 11 (with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and CYPRESS HILL).
