The recent drama on the most recent and very short-lived Janes Addiction reunion tour, prompted me to reminisce about how much I loved them back in the 90's, and was utterly disappointed with their first reunion. They even joked about this on a How I Met Your Mother episode. As such, I decided to pull together a fun set of tracks from all the other bands that the members had participated in, hence the title of filling the void left by their absence. I stuck with the original core four line-up of Janes Addiction: Perry, Stephen, Eric, and Dave.
Psi Com is Perry's band before Jane's, and his attempt at some kind of gothic post-punk which works in small doses.. Porno for Pyros is Perry and Stephen's post-Jane's band. Deconstruction is Dave, Eric and Stephen right after the original Jane's break up. Polar Bear is Eric's subsequent solo project. Dave did several one off projects for tributes: Honeymoon Stitch for Joy Division, Camp Freddie for David Bowie, Ruined Eye for Germs. Stephen Perkins did a few of these as well: Class of 99 for Pink Floyd, Cold Ethyl for Alice Cooper, and Broke Dick Dog for James Brown however I was too nervous to search that term to find their music. Stephen also was the exceptional drummer for the Suicidal Tendencies side project Infectious Grooves. Summer Moon is a one time supergroup with members of The Strokes, Uh Huh Her and The Airborne Toxic Event, with Stephen on drums. The Panic Channel is Dave and Stephen with the then bassist of Janes Addiction Chris Chaney, joined by Steve Isaacs as the vocalist, whom I'm unfamiliar with. NHC is similar in that Chris Chaney and Dave are here again, this time with Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters fame. Banyan is truly a supergroup; this track features Mike Watt, Stephen, John Frusciante, Willie Waldman and Joey Klaparda. Other tracks feature Flea, Buckethead, Nels Cline and tons of others that I am only a little bit familiar with.
The side projects I didn't include are Broke Dick Dog, Li'l Pit which I couldn't find, Satellite Party which is Perry's band and I heard there was band drama where he gave his girlfriend too big of a role and the rest of the band quit, and finally Red Hot Chili Peppers where Dave was a short time guitarist while John Frusciante was on one of his multiple breaks. I was not a fan of this era, Mother's Milk was the last album I bought and enjoyed from them.
