Jane's Addiction is an American rock band formed in 1985 from Los Angeles, California. The band's original members were Perry Farrell (vocals), Dave Navarro (guitar), Eric Avery (bass), and Stephen Perkins (drums), and they formed from the remains of frontman Perry Farrell's previous band, Psi Com. They named the new band "Jane's Addiction" in honor of Farrell's housemate, Jane Bainter, who was addicted to drugs. Jane's Addiction became a sensation in the Los Angeles club scene, primarily headlining at Scream. They soon gained interest from a variety of record labels, and while the group had decided to sign with Warner Bros. Records, Jane's Addiction insisted on releasing its debut on independent record label Triple X Records first. The band received the largest ever advance up to that point, with Warner Bros. signing for between $250,000 to $300,000. In 1987, the band recorded its debut record Jane's Addiction during a live performance at the Roxy Theatre for $4,000. After breaking up in 1991, Jane's Addiction briefly reunited in 1997 and again in 2001, both times with Avery declining to participate. In 2008, the band's "classic" line-up, featuring Avery, reunited and embarked on a world tour. Avery subsequently left the band in early 2010 as the group began work on new material. Jane's Addiction was one of the first bands to emerge from the early 1990s alternative rock movement to gain momentum in mainstream media and commercial success in the United States. Their initial farewell tour launched the first Lollapalooza festival, an alternative rock showcase. As a result, Jane's Addiction became icons of what Farrell dubbed the "Alternative Nation." The band was ranked 35th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list.
