Perry Farrell will continue his mission to indoctrinate a whole new generation into the ways of satellite parties, unfortunate cardigans, and people making great pets this September, when Kidzapalooza breaks free from the shackles of Lollapalooza and becomes its own standalone event at the Hollywood Bowl. The show will feature both performances by Farrell and "special guests" and booths that offer breakdancing lessons and "rock and roll hairdos," whatever that means. Me, I'm just hoping that this means some bright-eyed entrepreneur out there will try and use Kidzapalooza to bring juice box-sized versions of smart drinks to market. Remember those? They always got so gritty when you got to the bottom! [Hollywood Bowl / NME]

The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament: Welcome To A Very Expensive, Very Purple Bash

It's a new day, so let's put politics aside and move on to the "Bad Photoshop" bracket in Idolator's inaugural Worst Album Cover Of The Year tournament. In one corner, we have the No. 8 seed, Jennifer Lopez's $60,000 ode to the power of sparkles. And in opposition, we have Perry Farrell's Satellite Party, which shows that Mr. Farrell's computer-art skillz are almost as good as his taste in guests. Whichever one wins, we know one thing: Staring at the above one-two punch means that our field of vision is going to be tinted purple for at least the next six hours or so!

Latest by Big Gray.: I just want to point out again that these are two execrable album TITLES. "Brave"? "Ultra Payloaded"? Yeesh. more »

We hear that former Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt has left Satellite Party, Perry Farrell's WTF-list project that went straight from the flash mobosphere to the cutout bins. Related: Today's news flow has had a rather strong resemblance to my still-in-my-closet collection of videotapes containing old Dial MTV and Headbanger's Ball episodes. (Anyone know if LA Guns did anything newsworthy in the past 24 hours? Because that would really cap the day.)

Pro Gear, Pro Attitude: American Photo Has Visions Of Rock, But Fails To Paint A Pretty Picture

I was excited to see the newest issue of American Photo had devoted itself to the inherent rockingness of photography, but knew I was in for a bumpy ride just by merely glancing at the cover, which offered a neon smorgasboard of musicians-turned-photogs: Mick Fleetwood, Lenny Kravitz, Graham Nash, Perry Farrell, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Patti Smith, John Mayer, Lou Reed, Jakob Dylan, Michael Stipe, and Bryan Adams. Really. More »

Perry Farrell Will Not Be Guesting On "Rock Star" Anytime Soon


Those of you who have heard Satellite Party, the new flashmobbed-up project from Perry Farrell, have probably been wondering one thing: "Why did Jane's Addiction break up?" (Okay, that probably comes to mind after "Huh??," but still.) Well, Farrell places the blame squarely on the menace of reality television: More »

Perry Farrell Throws A Satellite Party In A Bio-Dome

We had to post about the first video from Satellite Party, the Perry Farrell project in which the former Jane's Addiction frontman flaunts his ability to entice a motley crew of guests, if only because of the split-second shot around 30 seconds in, where guitarist Nuno Bettencourt looks like he's on the verge of turning into Glenn Danzig (perhaps in the follow-up clip, he'll sprout a pair of "Her Black Wings"). Is this the dark side of going green coming to light? More »

Perry Farrell Can't Contain His "Hollywood Homicide" Fandom

As part of his non-stop campaign to get every single celebrity in the world to join his new band, Satellite Party founder Perry Farrell holds a press conference with actor (and apparent pledge-drive volunteer) Josh Hartnett. Next week, Perry goes after Tea Leoni, John Amos, and OMC. More »

Perry Farrell Will Not Be Satisifed Until He's Gone Through The Entire Circa-1989 Roster Of "Headbanger's Ball"

First Nuno, now this: Mr. and Mrs. Farrell hang out with Mr. and Mrs. Slash last night in Las Vegas. Who'll be the next to fall under Persuasive Perry's spell? Has anyone seen Tracii Guns lately? More »

Perry Farrell's Satellite Party A Decidedly WTF-List Affair

The press release for Satellite Party, the spaced-out new project from former Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, is stuffed with so many cameos and "cool" music references, it reads like the most pathetic Cindy Adams column ever: More »

Perry Farrell: Still Waiting To Be Beamed Back To The Mothership

Remember that babysitter you looked up to as a kid, only to run into him when he was grown up and realize he or she was kind of a sad dick? That's how we feel about Perry Farrell. In the early '90s, he was the lead singer of Jane's Addiction, a band whose space-metal sound and censorship battles prompted at least one-half of the Idolator team to wear a first-amendment T-shirt in high school.
