Jane’s Addiction Enlist Josh Klinghoffer as Dave Navarro Not Ready for Return

• By Daniel Kreps

Daniel Kreps

The semi-reunited Jane’s Addiction have announced another lineup change with former Red Hot Chili Peppers member Josh Klinghoffer filling in for Dave Navarro on the band’s upcoming tour.

Prior to Jane’s Addiction’s return as part their joint tour with Smashing Pumpkins last year, Perry Farrell and company revealed that Navarro would not be joining them on the road as the guitarist recovered from a lengthy bout with long Covid; Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen subbed in in Navarro’s absence.

A complete reunion of the classic Jane’s lineup in over a decade will have to wait a little longer, however, as the band announced Friday that Navarro will not join them on their initial run of 2023 dates.

Jane’s Addiction have so far booked five West Coast for March, followed by a trio of South American gigs at Farrell’s Lollapalooza fests.

As Farrell told Rolling Stone in 2022, even though the band had never played a gig without Navarro since their 1985 formation, “When we booked this tour and Dave was sick, we didn’t know he’d take this long, to be honest with you. You have to be able to adapt. I really do have to consider everybody on the crew and their families. They have mouths to feed, and they haven’t had a paycheck in almost two years.”

Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell and Eric Avery Talk Reunion, New Songs and Touring Without Dave Navarro

“What’s beautiful about life is not always winning,” Perry Farrell says. “It’s getting knocked down and getting back up and then winning. Sometimes, that can be even sweeter.”

Popular on Variety

The band has kicked off a fall North American arena tour, “Spirits on Fire,” with another icon of the alternative era, the Smashing Pumpkins. While the two acts share plenty of history – the Pumpkins headlined the 1994 Lollapalooza festival, for one – in those days they seemed to be situated, musically and perhaps even spiritually, in distinct corners of the alt-rock universe, with Jane’s geared more toward punk, goth and arty exotica, the Pumpkins prog, classic rock and angsty metal.

Smashing Pumpkins, which currently features three of the band’s four original members – Corgan, guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin – have marked the “Spirits on “Fire tour with the announcement of a new record, “ATUM,” a 33-track “rock opera in three acts” intended to hearken back to grandiloquent efforts like 1995’s sprawling “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.”

For Jane’s Addiction, these shows arrive as the band faces a personal inflection point: a re-embrace of what had seemed to be an out-of-reach past, and a tentative first step toward an unknown future.

The “past” piece is represented by the return of original bassist Eric Avery. A key component of the Jane’s Addiction sound, Avery was the first member to play in the band alongside Farrell in 1985, and it is his insistent, hypnotic bass lines that provide much of the power and thrust to classic tracks like “Mountain Song” and “Whores.” Avery’s history with Jane’s Addiction, and with Farrell in particular, has been marked by tension; he last played with the band for a short stint earlier in the 2000s before departing again in 2010. Over the years, his spot has been filled by everyone from Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea to, in most cases, prolific studio and stage bassist Chris Chaney.

Avery’s path back to Jane’s Addiction began a few years ago, when he and Farrell reconnected on a phone call that, according to the bassist, was brokered by a mutual friend, late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. When Farrell reached out again more recently, he says, “I thought maybe it had something to do with [Hawkins’] death, because we both loved him a lot. I thought maybe he wanted to do a song or something like that for Taylor.”

Instead, the conversation was focused on the future of Jane’s Addiction, and Avery’s place in it. “We had what I considered to be the most meaningful and honest and respectful talk that we’ve had since the Jane’s 1.0 days,” Avery says. “I don’t mean to sound so ‘new age-y’ about it, but it was sort of a healing of a rift.”

That healing, Farrell says, was long overdue. “It’s time. We’re not getting any younger, and I wanted to start working with Eric again before it’s all too late.”

Says Farrell, “Dave told us he’s hoping to be back at a certain date [on the tour], but… look, this is very important. Today, you’ve gotta look out for your friends and your family. It’s a tough time to be alive. You have to be thinking smart. When a person doesn’t feel well, you have to be okay with them slowing down for a minute. There’s nothing else you can do.”

“My heart is broken to not have Dave here with us,” Perkins adds. “But I just want my friend to be healthy. And the best thing we can do for him right now is to not interrupt the healing process.”

In the meantime, the show must go on. And for that to happen, Jane’s Addiction, for the first time in their history, had to find a guitar player to step into Navarro’s shoes. For the tour, at least, that guitar player will be Troy Van Leeuwen, a record producer and multi-instrumentalist who has played with the likes of A Perfect Circle, Iggy Pop and, most notably, Queens of the Stone Age. Additionally, Farrell reports that several shows will feature guest guitarists joining the band onstage. These names, however, are still top secret. “I wish I could tell you, but I can’t,” he says. “But they’re guitar peers, shall we say, of Jane’s. Friends first and foremost, but musical allies for sure.”

Regarding Van Leeuwen, he continues, “I would’ve never wanted to go out without Dave. But these days are a time for collaboration. So with Troy, we sat down and talked about stage style and, most importantly, musical style. And we found a common ground.”

“I came at it from the angle of respecting the material and respecting the history, because Dave is such a big presence in the band,” Van Leeuwen says. “Then as we started playing more and more, they all said, ‘Well, do your own thing, too.’ So I have some space to add my flair here and there.”

“We really approached it as, this is an opportunity for Jane’s to have a little bit of a different sound,” Avery says. “A little bit of a different experience.”

Going forward, the Jane’s Addiction experience, in another break from recent operating procedure, will not be confined solely to the stage. The band’s most recent studio album, “The Great Escape Artist,” was released in 2011. But this past August, they reconvened to work on new material, which will also constitute their first recordings with Avery since 1990’s landmark “Ritual de lo Habitual.” The sessions, Farrell says, “actually exceeded expectations. We wrote three songs – one is very, very raw, but there’s two in particular that I love. One’s called ‘True Love,’ and the other one’s called ‘The Imminent Redemption.’ ”

“I started playing it with Stephen, and Perry started singing, and I felt a feeling that I hadn’t felt in many years,” Avery says. “It reminded me of surfing. When you’re paddling for a wave, there’s an inflection point where the wave has you, and you’ve put the effort in and can stop paddling. You just stand up and begin to ride. I thought, wow, we can still plug into this…”

“When you hear what we came up with, it just instantly has that vibe that you hear in things like ‘Mountain Song’ or ‘Whores,’ ” Perkins adds. “It’s dark. It’s cinematic. It’s voodoo. It sounds like us.”

Even so, Farrell stresses there’s still work to be done, as Navarro has yet to add his guitar to the new material. “These songs are hanging,” he says. “Dave hasn’t recorded on them yet, and they’re not going to be completed until he does.”

As for whether there’s a full album in Jane’s Addiction’s future, Perkins, for one, hopes so. “Fuck yeah, that’s all I want,” he says. “Get in a room together, just do it. The last three years been a nightmare for everybody – let’s energize that pain, that fear, that uncertainty, all that shit we went through together. Let’s funnel that into a Jane’s record. That’s my dream.”

At the very least, the music will continue in one form or another. “We’re all on the universal clock, so I’m gonna ride it as long as I live,” Farrell says. “I don’t know what the music’s going to sound like when I’m in my seventies, but I want to give it a go, and I will.”

Calling it quits, he continues, is out of the question. “I don’t ever have to retire,” Farrell says. “I could ask anybody – I could ask Tom Brady, and he would tell you he’s envious of me . Because I can go until I can’t breathe anymore. That’s what’s beautiful about being a musician. You keep moving, and along the way you gain music knowledge, you gain poetic knowledge. You gain political knowledge and spiritual knowledge and universal knowledge. And then you put all of that into your art.”

Jane's Addiction Announce 2023 Tour Dates: Are They Coming To Your City?

By Katrina Nattress

January 19, 2023

Jane's Addiction faced plenty of adversity during their fall tour with Smashing Pumpkins , including canceling some dates due to a Perry Farrell injury and replacing Dave Navarro as he battled long COVID .

“At first, there was a lot of weight on my shoulders. This was our return tour right after COVID, and we didn’t have Dave," Farrell recalled about the pressure of finding a new guitarist. "Jane’s is a unique band, and you can’t just grab any guitar player and they’ll pick it up. That’s Dave Navarro we’re talking about — those are big shoes to fill.” Two weeks before tour, they landed on  Queens of the Stone Age 's  Troy Van Leeuwen .

Despite it all, the singer still thought the experience was a great one. “I had one of the best tours of my life," he gushed during an interview. "I just love at the end of the show seeing how many happy people there were. We got to them, and that’s the best feeling in the world.”

Now, he hopes to recapture that energy with a brief West Coast tour before Jane's heads to South America for three Lollapalooza performances (Lollapalooza Argentina (March 18th), Lollapalooza Chile (March 19th), and Lollapalooza Brazil (March 25th)). The stint is set to begin March 4 in Bakersfield, California, and wrap up March 12 in Reno, Nevada. Hopefully Navarro will be ready to return to the stage, and the band might even have some new music to include in setlists .

Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction Tour Dates Announced

Nine Inch Nails and the original Jane's Addiction lineup will embark on a May/June co-headlining tour that will see these seminal artists sharing a stage for the first time since the historic debut of the Lollapalooza festival in 1991. The genesis of the upcoming tour came about in late 2008 after NIN's Trent Reznor was tapped to produce Jane's first recordings since reforming.

The NIN/JA tour will feature a streamlined NIN with Reznor on vocals, guitars, keys, Robin Finck on guitars and keys, Justin Meldal-Johnsen on bass and keys, and newest NIN member IIan Rubin on drums and keys. NIN's stripped down configuration for the upcoming dates was inspired by a pair of club shows toward the end of last year's wildly ambitious Lights in the Sky tour. Leaving the massive production in the trucks for those two nights freed up the band for spontaneous performances including several seldom-aired NIN classics and inspired NIN to take a similarly unencumbered and unpredictable approach to the May/June dates, which include previously announced NIN appearances at the Sasquatch and Bonnaroo festivals.

For the first time in 17 years, the original lineup of Jane’s Addiction will tour - vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins. The possibility of reforming first took shape in April 2008 when the musicians performed and accepted the Godlike Genius Award bestowed on them by N.M.E. Magazine at their US Awards ceremony. The band then tested the waters with small, secret shows around the Los Angeles area and the tremendous excitement from the shows lead to their decision to tour again.

The “full circle” nature of the co-headlining tour has not been lost on the artists, with Reznor recently blogging…

“Towards the beginning of my career in Nine Inch Nails, our biggest break came in the form of an invitation to perform a series of shows with Jane’s Addiction. These performances essentially created and defined the term “alternative” rock in the US, created an ongoing festival franchise that is still thriving (Lollapalooza), set the stage for Nirvana to shift popular taste a few months later, and were really fucking FUN to play and attend - truly the best times I’ve had. The shows were epic. So epic, they propelled NIN to the “next level” (whatever that means), but caused Jane’s to implode. The band broke up at the end of that tour.”

Jane’s guitarist Dave Navarro responded in kind, paying homage to the recent collaboration with the Nine Inch Nails frontman and revealing enthusiasm for the upcoming shows.

“Since our reformation, we have been spending a lot of time with Trent in the rehearsal studio and in the recording studio, working on new stuff, addressing some old stuff and more importantly, creating a friendship and working relationship,” Navarro explains. “It's rare that touring partners have an opportunity to spend so much time together creatively before a tour. Regardless of the collaborative outcome, our time with Trent has brought forth a new focus and sense of purpose that we plan to share with you on a nightly basis.”

JANE'S ADDICTION Announces 2024 European Tour

JANE'S ADDICTION has announced its first European headlining tour in eight years.

The trek will launch with a series of U.K. dates in late May, including two shows at the Roundhouse in London on May 27 and 29, and will be followed by appearances in Hamburg, Cologne, Paris and Luxembourg. The band will also perform at several European festivals.

JANE'S ADDICTION frontman Perry Farrell said in a statement: "Tonight the JANE'S camp is over the moon, as we're finally able to announce U.K., European headline and festival shows.

"It has been far too long, my JANE'S ADDICTION family. We can't wait to see your faces again (well look at you).. singing songs, and soaring to the moon in a new rocket. Togetherness- roll on 2024!"

Tour dates:

May 23-26 - Bearded Theory Festival, UK May 27 - London, UK – Roundhouse May 29 - London, UK - Roundhouse May 31 - Glasgow, UK - Barrowland Jun. 02 - Manchester, UK - O2 Apollo Jun. 06 - Hamburg, Germany - Große Freiheit Jun. 13 - Nova Rock– Austria Jun. 20 - Azkena Rock– Spain Jun. 23 - Pinkpop – Netherlands Jun. 25 - Cologne, Germany - Carlswerk Victoria Jun. 26 - Paris, France - L'Olympia Jun. 28 - Dublin, Ireland - Summer Series at Trinity College Jul. 3 - Luxembourg, Luxembourg – Rockhal

Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 8 and 10 a.m. local time.

JANE'S ADDICTION debuted a new song called "True Love" during the band's March 5 concert in Bakersfield, California.

It is not presently clear "True Love" — which was reportedly written by Farrell , bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins , with assistance from touring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer — will appear on JANE'S ADDICTION 's next studio release.

As previously reported, JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro is sitting out the band's shows due to his ongoing battle with long COVID. He is being replaced at the gigs by Klinghoffer , a former member of RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS who also records with Eddie Vedder and performs with PEARL JAM .

In January, the Farrell -fronted outfit, which completed a fall 2022 U.S. tour with SMASHING PUMPKINS , announced a series of West Coast dates leading up to the band's participation in the Lollapalooza festivals in South America.

Navarro sat out the fall 2022 tour due to his battle with long COVID. He was replaced at the shows by QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE 's Troy Van Leeuwen .

"Spirit On Fire" marked the first JANE'S ADDICTION tour in more than a decade to feature returning original bassist Avery . Prior to the latest trek, Avery last played with the band for a short stint in the 2000s before departing again in 2010.

In the fall of 2022, Farrell told Alternative Press that it wasn't easy finding a temporary replacement for Navarro . "At first, there was a lot of weight on my shoulders," he said. "This was our return tour right after COVID, and we didn't have Dave . JANE'S is a unique band, and you can't just grab any guitar player and they'll pick it up. That's Dave Navarro we're talking about — those are big shoes to fill."

Even though JANE'S ADDICTION was forced to cancel several shows on the tour after Farrell sustained an injury, he still described it "one of the best tours of my life. I just love at the end of the show seeing how many happy people there were," he told Alternative Press . "We got to them, and that's the best feeling in the world."

Tonight, the Jane’s camp is over the moon, as we’re finally able to announce UK, European headline and festival shows.... Posted by Jane's Addiction on  Wednesday, December 6, 2023

Perry Farrell, Eric Avery, Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins will headline Bearded Theory festival at Catton Park (also home to Bloodstock Open Air ) in Derbyshire on the weekend of Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th May 2024.

A day before the London gig, Jane’s Addiction headlined the second stage at the rain-lashed Download Festival 2016.

The band’s latest album, ‘The Great Escape Artist’, was released way back in October 2011 and their most recent single ‘Another Soulmate’ arrived in 2013.

Earlier this year, Jane’s Addiction debuted a new song called ‘True Love’ during a concert at the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California.

Perry Farrell recently lent his vocals to a song called ‘So Trendy’ by Jane’s Addiction's fellow Bearded Theory festival headliners, Sleaford Mods.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018

• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
