October 19, 2012

JANE'S ADDICTION kicked off the California leg of its world tour in support of their latest album, "The Great Escape Artist", at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on October 17. After the show, Drum! magazine caught up with the band's drummer, Stephen Perkins, and the drummer for opening act thenewno2, Frank Zummo, for a quick, impromptu interview about the show, the future, and the uniqueness of the drummer bond.

JANE'S ADDICTION's new album, "The Great Escape Artist", sold around 24,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 12 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"The Great Escape Artist" is JANE'S ADDICTION's first all-new studio effort since 2003's "Strays", which opened with more than 110,000 units to enter the chart at No. 4.

"The Great Escape Artist" is only JANE'S ADDICTION's fourth album of original material in 20 years.

The current JANE'S ADDICTION lineup features original members Stephen Perkins, Perry Farrell on vocals and Dave Navarro on guitar.

Although founding bassist Eric Avery initially returned to the band when it reactivated in 2009, he quit the following year.

Dave Sitek of TV ON THE RADIO played bass on and co-produced the new record, while Chris Chaney has returned as touring bassist.
