Influential and commercially ground breaking Art Rockers founded in 1986. With the commercial achievements of 'Ritual De Lo Habitual' frontman Perry Farrel more than made his mark in 1991 when his concept for a diverse travelling arts and music show dubbed 'Lollapalooza' came into being, the first of what was to be many successful annual events. However it was also to be the vehicle for JANE'S ADDICTION's destruction. As headliners of the first bout Farrell announced that these shows were to be the band's swansong. JANE'S ADDICTION bowed out with a show at New York's Madison Square Gardens.

Both Farrell and Perkins were quick to re-establish themselves with PORNO FOR PYROS going on to release two albums. Navarro struggled to rid himself of a drug dependency eventually scoring a high profile position as guitarist for RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. Avery disappeared from the scene altogether.
