Dave Sitek joins Jane’s Addiction
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 6 January 2011
TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek has joined Jane’s Addiction as the band’s bassist on their forthcoming new album. Sitek, who has also produced the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Foals, will write and record with the band, though it’s not yet clear if he will tour.
As previously reported, original bassist Eric Avery, who had not been involved in any of the band’s previous reunions but rejoined in 2008, quit in March last year. He was replaced by former Guns N Roses man Duff McKagan, who then also quit in September.
Whether Sitek can stick it out long enough to get this album finished in time for its summer release date remains to be seen. Things got off to a good start in a statement released to coincide with the announcement of Sitek’s involvement, with frontman Perry Farrell saying: “Dave [Navarro, guitar], Steve [Perkins, drums] and I are fully immersed in the process of making modern music”. Perhaps Farrell’s so busy with the new album there wasn’t time to say ‘Dave’ twice.
