SEE evaluates the ’90s bands you didn’t even know were still around—and says whether you should keep

PERRY FARRELL
This one’s trickier—there was a time when this sun-baked California-raisin (guy’s leatherier than Iggy Pop) was a real contender. The Jane’s Addiction years produced the classic albums Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual. His follow-up band Porno for Pyros,was a worthy second act. In the ’00s, though, Farrell’s a clown. Jane’s Addiction’s 2003 reunion album Strays was a slab of transparently stupid cock-rock, and his new project, Perry Farrell’s Satellite Party, shovels every hippie-bullshit SoCal cliché you can think of into one big pile of musical dung.
VERDICT: Should’ve gone out in 1997, high on acid, riding a flaming motorcycle across the Mojave Desert. (MH)
