http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainm ... _love.html'We have to make music based on love'
The credo behind Perry Farrell's new band.
By A.D. Amorosi
For The Inquirer
Love makes a man do great things and stupid things. It can make a guy fight a war, build a tower or paint an epic mural.
So what's love got to do with Perry Farrell - the singer known for leading Jane's Addiction through the depth-charged debauch of the late '80s and then Porno for Pyros through the trippy '90s?
"We really have to make music based on love. I wanted to reel in the aggression of the past and make the present as if ... c'mon. . . what if you were really in love?"
That's Farrell talking about the motivating factor behind his new band, Satellite Party, and its recent album, Ultra Payloaded. By taking the sacred party ideal that led him to create alterna-rock's legendary Lollapalooza festival and funneling that into electronically enhanced glam-rockers like "Awesome," Farrell has created something hedonistic and heated without lacking l'amour.
Ultra Payloaded, then, is a be-in, a freak-out and a love shack all in one nifty, funky theatrical package.
"I don't want to sound too corny, but music has gotten away from romance. It's become too frustratingly aggressive," Farrell says.
That may sound like the ruminations of a 48-year-old guy with a wife and kids whose love of raves and mysticism may finally loom larger than rocking out. But his wife, Etty Lau Farrell, sings in the Party and its love-sexiness beats as hard as any old addiction Jane once had.
"If you want to hear aggression without passion, people will have to go somewhere else," says Farrell blissfully. "I'm not a frustrated guy."

The Philly show ruled! Satellite Party MUST SEE MUST BE Live experience!! I was rocking out so hard the entire show. Every song was great, the sound was top-notch, the crowd was beautiful. I would have liked to see MORE dancing feom the crowd, but I gravitated towards a great group of rockers so I can't complain. When the crowd sang along it was really LOUD! Perry seemed to really feed off the love from the room.
I was among the people who held him as he plunged into the crowd at the end! Awesome!
Best show of the year, no doubt! I am entirely bummed about only seeing one show, and am trying to figure out how I can make it to another one!!
Perry's voice was Excellent. The drums were great but a little bit stiff, still excellent though.
Around "Superhero" Perry and the crowd got going with the "OH! YEAH!" chant and it kept going on and on, it rocked.
I only wish for more songs, I just saw they did Summertime tonight! I'm completely flipping out right now!
