Janes Addictions 1988 breakthrough album; Nothings Shocking; had a seismic impact. With a bracing combination of metal; punk; and psychedelia; coupled with lead singer Perry Farrells banshee-ina- wind-tunnel vocals; Janes Addiction helped put alternative music on the map. The band helped pave the way for the mainstream success of bands like Pearl Jam; Soundgarden; and Nirvana. Along the way; Janes Addiction released another classic album; Ritual de lo Habitual (with the hit "Been Caught Stealing"); founded the Lollapalooza festival; and openly celebrated a bacchanalian lifestyle that blurred all lines of gender and sexuality. Drawn from original interviews with the band; their friends; and their musical colleagues; Whores takes readers through Farrells early sonic experiments with Psi-Com and the formative days of Janes Addiction to their drug-addled break-up and controversial reunion with 2003s Strays. Along the way it provides a candid; often disturbing glimpse into the dynamic alternative rock scene of Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s.
