After Ultrapayloaded, what can we expect in the future? I know some have mentioned a return to Porno For Pyros as a possibility, but the future path remains uncertain.
I could envision him branching into more diverse styles like World, Reggae, Carribean, African Tribal/Ethnic but with a pop flavour. Maybe something along the lines of what did on the Soulfarm track "From This Day On" but much more interesting than that particular track. Something maybe in the Jimmy Buffet style too.
I could see further experimentation in electronic styles with more guest appearances. Although this electronic path seems a bit limited in scope, and may have little appeal outside of the dance clubs. I think he could do almost any style he wanted and make it sound interesting. What do you guys think?

Absolutely bman!

Who knows what the future holds nexis.
We could see another Satellite Party release.
Perry could decide to put out another "solo record".
Porno For Pyros could reunite.
The sky could rain money and Jane's could reform.
The point I'm trying to make is we just don't know.
I'm happy to see Perry out on the road and I'm looking forward to seeing him soon.

I wanna Perry producing a fantastic album of world-electronic music, singing with effect on downtempo and spacey loops, and some gentle Pete D. acoustic slide guitar .....

If it was up to me, two more Satellite Party albums, one more Porno for Pyros album (so each band has made 3.) And then for him to spend the rest of his life making solo records, alternating between electronic and rock/acoustic with Pete on guitar.

So basically you're saying "Perry get busy!"

I like that idea too, focusing on the world/tribal rhythms with the slide guitar and psychedelic efx. i like hearing complex electronic drum loops/rhythms but whats even better is then having a real drummer play/record them live to give them a more organic feel.

Here's something Perry has been working on recently.

Satellite dish: Nuno Bettencourt is gone, but the Perry Farrell Party’s on
By Tom Kielty
Saturday, August 11, 2007

CHICAGO - The Lollapalooza Festival once spread the word of the alternative rock movement from city to city. Now it’s a three-day, one-city event. During its run last weekend in Chicago’s expansive Grant Park, we caught up with Lollapalooza’s founder in his backstage trailer where he was happily eating grapes in a comfortable leather chair.

The man who made Jane’s Addiction a groundbreaking leader in the emerging underground scene of the early ’90s exudes a remarkably Zen-like presence. His eyes light up with enthusiasm and excitement at both what he has accomplished musically with Jane’s, Porno for Pyros (his post-Jane’s project) and his current outfit, Satellite Party, which plays tomorrow at the WBCN [website] Band Camp show at the Bank of America Pavilion on a bill with Incubus and others.

“As a musician you play for people,” Farrell said. “I want those people to be loving and happy and enthusiastic and positive and enlightened and conscious. You don’t always get that, but if you bring them into a festival you hope you can ingrain some things without being heavy-handed.”

Lest anyone mistake this vision for post-hippie bunk, Farrell dispels that notion by dissecting the problems the music industry has encountered since Lollapalooza’s beginning.

“The record industry stopped breaking groups,” he said. “They didn’t have a clue how to do it because they turned their back on alternative music and rock ’n’ roll, an audience that basically downloads. The Internet forced the hand when musicians felt like, ‘Man, I better get out there now and play because I’m not selling a damn record.’ ”

With no record label to deal with, Farrell felt free to build his latest project his own way. Satellite Party began with Farrell programming beats at home before his wife, Etty Lau Farrell, began singing backing vocals over them.

Morning surf sessions with Red Hot Chili Pepper bassist Flea led to his involvement, as well as that of Pepper’s guitarist, John Frusciante, though neither is performing with Satellite Party.

And neither is ex-Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, who, with drummer Kevin Figg, unexpectedly quit the band two weeks ago.

Farrell seems unperturbed by the recent turmoil.

“As is the case with all launched projectiles, parts fall off the back as the rocket climbs toward heaven,” he told a reporter when the lineup change was announced. “In stage two, Nuno and Kevin disengaged.”

They have been replaced by guitarist Nick Perri and drummer Jordan Plosky, both discovered by Satellite Party bassist Carl Restivo at a “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott benefit event in Hollywood.

Meanwhile the devil-may-care Farrell is virtually beaming at his recent partnership with rap star 50 Cent.

“It was a great collaboration! Wait until you hear it,” he said excitedly of the track recorded for ESPN’s and ABC’s college football broadcasts.

“It’s like this,” he said. “Musicians are a breed unto themselves. There’s no color lines. There’s no denominations. If you can play, they love you. If you suck, they don’t care if you’re black or white, you’re out.”

WBCN [website] Band Camp, with Satellite Party, Incubus, the Bravery, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Township, tomorrow at 5 p.m. at the Bank of America Pavilion. Tickets: $38.50; 617-931-2000.
