THE PANIC CHANNEL In Studio Recording Debut Album

December 4, 2004

THE PANIC CHANNEL, the new band featuring three quarters of the most recent lineup of JANE'S ADDICTION (guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Chris Chaney) and former SKYCYCLE vocalist Steve Isaacs, are currently recording their debut album in L.A. with producer Brian Virtue (who worked on the last JANE'S album, "Strays"). At present the group is not working with a label, but Navarro told RollingStone.com the project is coming along. "We're almost done recording our record, and we're very happy with where we're at," he said. "We're kind of doing this homegrown, and it's a blast. It's like when we were fifteen years old."

The quartet has been working together since May, when Navarro, Chaney and Perkins recruited Isaacs to handle vocals for a song they were asked to record for a film. "I met Steve when he was working at as a VJ at MTV," said Navarro. "I knew he was a great singer, and we did this track and it came out phenomenal. The film passed on it, but we continued working and decided, 'Why not just make music?'"

According to Navarro, the new band is still forming its identity. "We're just getting to know each other musically," he says. "Us three have played together for a long time, but the four of us is a new unit."

THE PANIC CHANNEL made their official live debut Thursday night (Dec. 2) at Los Angeles' Key Club as part of a benefit to feed the homeless sponsored by L.A. radio station Indie 103.1. Check out photos from Wire Image.
