Against all odds, Porno For Pyros have finally escaped the prison of the ’90s.
Perry Farrell’s post-Jane’s Addiction project has announced its first tour in 25 years, playing 21 cities across the United States this fall. The tour is dubbed Horns, Thorns en Halos, marking the 30th anniversary of Porno For Pyros’ formation, and around the midway point is an October 30 party at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway. Halloween comes early this year, it seems.
Porno For Pyros, which had an MTV hit in 1993 with “Pets,” will run back its original lineup, with Farrell joined by Jane’s Addiction co-conspirator Stephen Perkins, as well as Peter DiStefano and Martyn LeNoble. A new album is said to be in the works for later this year, the followup to 1996’s Good God’s Urge (the single “Tahitian Moon” still slaps).
The band split back in 1998, and while they have played a few one-offs in the years since, this marks Porno For Pyros’ first official tour since the breakup. Check out all the dates below, and tickets go on sale this Friday (July 14). We’ll have more info in our Crossroads’ On Sale @ rundown later in the week.
