Jane's Addiction Performs at State Theatre in New Brunswick

The New Brunswick State Theatre will host a Jane's Addiction concert on August 12 at 8:30 pm. The group will be joined by the Band of Skulls. Tickets range from $49.50 to $69.50. The ticket office will open at 4 pm. For questions or to purchase tickets, visit the theater's website at www.statetheatreNJ.org or call 732-246-7469.

The theater website refers to the following review of the band: "Once considered a high priest of rock decadence, Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell may well be the best preserved of the post-punk, grunge and alternative rock survivors,” wrote Hector Saldaña, San Antonio Express-News (5/7/12). “The wiry frame and wide-eyed, diabolical onstage persona propels this act as much as guitarist Dave Navarro’s high-on-the-neck dive bombs, Chris Chaney’s rattling bass or Stephen Perkins relentless onslaught on the drums. Farrell created bedlam with his dance moves and slinky, sexual presence on ‘Just Because’ and the classic ‘Been Caught Stealing.’"
