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.

JANE'S ADDICTION was represented by entertainment marketing consultant Al Hassas and their manager Peter Katsis.

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.
