TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek temporarily joins Jane's Addiction for new album
Sitek will play bass and help write songs on summer release
Jane's Addiction
Well, this should sound interesting. TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek has linked up with Jane’s Addiction to play bass and write tunes for the forthcoming Jane’s album.
He joins singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins in the band. Also signed on is producer Rich Costey, who’s worked with Muse, Franz Ferdinand and Interpol. Founding bassist Eric Avery, who has come and gone before, left the band last year. Duff McKagan joined briefly, but only lasted six months and left in September.

"Dave, Steve and I are fully immersed in the process of making modern music,” says Farrell in a statement (he means Navarro here, we think). “It has been a great experience thus far, and the results have so much potential.”
"This process has been both inspiring and incredibly freeing,” says Navarro. “The events over the last year have proven themselves to be a necessary part of the journey as they have led us to our current creative team and direction."
The band’s album is tentatively slated for release this summer on Capitol Records.
If you want to feel old, think about this: Jane’s Addiction formed 26 years ago.

January 4, 2011 at 11:09PM EST Reply to CommentI love Jane's Addiction and saw them at the NINJA tour w/ NIN. They were great and it was with the classic line-up of Farrell, Navarro, Perkins, and Eric Avery. That's the line-up I've always preferred. Now, I really can't take Perry Farrell seriously and I really didn't like the last album.
Dave Sitek I hope gets the band back on track to making great rock music and not go into any kind of crap that ruined that last album. If it fails, it's over. If it succeeds, then I can rest easy.
