PERRY FARRELL Recites MORRISON, Jams With STRING CHEESE

November 8, 2006

MJI Interactive reports that ex-JANE'S ADDICTION singer Perry Farrell will be participating in a musical performance and reading of late DOORS frontman Jim Morrison's poetry Wednesday (Nov. 8) at a Los Angeles bookstore (book Soup, located at 8820 Sunset Blvd.). The event is among the festivities surrounding the DOORS' 40th anniversary celebration in the city that day.

Meanwhile, footage of Farrell singing the JANE'S song "Idiots Rule" with the STRING CHEESE INCIDENT appears on "The Best of the Jammys: Volume One" DVD compilation, which is due out Nov. 14.

As previously reported, the debut album from Perry Farrell's new project, the SATELLITE PARTY, will boast a guest from beyond the grave in Jim Morrison, whose voice is heard on two spoken-word poems that are believed to be the last recordings ever made of Morrison's voice.

Farrell said about the eerie inclusion, "I have been granted permission by the Morrison estate to produce these two poems that may have been Jim's last recordings as far as anyone knows." He added about the recordings, "It sounds as though Jim Morrison were watching us today and commenting on the world today...It leaves a person almost dumbstruck."

The SATELLITE PARTY, which also features former EXTREME guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, is Farrell's third outfit following PORNO FOR PYROS and his first and most famous band, JANE'S ADDICTION, according to Launch Radio Networks. The latter group broke up for the second and presumably final time in 2004.

Farrell is also a co-founder of the Lollapalooza festival and is beginning to work on the lineup for the 2007 event, scheduled for next August in Chicago.
