gah, ok, I forgot about when Perk would stroll from the steel drum up to the mic and yell "She can't hit!" with Perry.intertwoven wrote:Listening to this show (thanks, filth!), Perry introduces the mystery backup singer on "Ted" and "Maceo" as Laura Espinosa. Though I'm not sure of the spelling. Could be Lara Espinoza, Espanoza, or something else along those lines. I tried googling around to see any musicians/singers/performers with that name, but came up empty. Maybe somebody in the Jane's camp could confirm her name for us?
This has always intrigued me, because as far as I can think of, this is the only known instance of Jane's Addiction featuring live backing vocals. Which I think is a bummer, because I'm a fan of vocal harmonies n' shit. Perry does em great on album, but of course he can't really do it live, other than messing with his delay effects. I kinda wish Dave or Eric would've chipped in some backup. Dave often mouthed the words when he was playing, so why not put a mic in front of him?
My apologies for slighting his vocal contributions.

But no, seriously, nobody has any info on Laura Espinoza? Mike, maybe you can add her to the long list of things to ask Dave about.
