Perry Farrell and Eric Avery of Jane’s Addiction Are Huge Fans of Amyl & The Sniffers

Perry Farrell and Eric Avery of Jane’s Addiction are loving being on tour in Australia with Amyl & The Sniffers. They are huge fans.

Watch the Noise11 Jane’s Addicition video:

Perry says, “We really like Amyl & The Sniffers. I’m look forward to touring with them and getting to know them better”.

Perry loves the expression of punk. He says one of his early tour was with The Ramones. “One of the first tours, if not the first tour, was opening up for The Ramones. We cut our teeth on that tour. Touring with punk bands is the best. They are the most fun shows you can ever play.

They are so super-minded, open hearted. There’s a lot of artists and gay people and straight people. All walks of life go to punk shows.

Eric Avery adds, “I too am a fan of Amyl & The Sniffers. I too discovered them accidentally through another band who did a short film with a company called PHC Films. Its an Australian company. They do edgy, really beautiful but dark films and music videos. That’s where I first saw Amyl & The Sniffers”.

Perry added, “They did ‘Guided By Angels’, the one where they are driving on the freeway with a shitty old car. That’s the one. I love that video”.

Both Jane’s Addiction have been shaking up the setlist each night on The World Is A Vampire Australian tour. The tour was in Melbourne and Ballarat over the weekend.

The World is a Vampire is a lot of fun with its unusual mix of Music and Wrestling. There really is never a dull moment with the Wrestling inbetween the acts. You go from Amyl immediately into wrestling immediately into Jane’s Addiction
