With a bracing combination of metal, punk, and psychedelia, coupled with lead singer Perry Farrell's banshee-ina- wind-tunnel vocals, Jane's 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, Jane's Addiction released another classic album, \u003ci\u003eRitual de lo Habitual\u003c\/i\u003e (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, \u003ci\u003eWhores\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers through Farrell's early sonic experiments with Psi-Com and the formative days of Jane's Addiction to their drug-addled break-up and controversial reunion with 2003's \u003ci\u003eStrays\u003c\/i\u003e. Along the way it provides a candid, often disturbing glimpse into the dynamic alternative rock scene of Los Angeles in the '80s and '90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrendan Mullen\u003c\/b\u003e is the co-author of \u003ci\u003eWe Got the Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of LA Punk\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLexicon Devil\u003c\/i\u003e, a biography of the Germs' Darby Crash.
