Porno for Pyros in 2013
Pete came to Seattle this weekend to perform in West Seattle and to apparently have a conversation with Perry as well as catch him at Bumbershoot. In the link below he states they're going to do Porno in 2013

Sunday night rocked as an enthusiastic crowd witnessed an eclectic line-up of musicians including the West Seattle band, Bend, with Ben Jenkins, Jay Cates, and Patrick Smail. There was a surprise visit by guitar player Peter DiStefano of the critically-acclaimed alternative band Porno for Pyros. The band hit it big in the mid-'90's with famed vocalist/songwriter Perry Farrell and percussionist/songwriter Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction.
DiStefano was in town from California to see Farrell perform at Bumbershoot.
"I had a meeting with Perry," DiStefano told the West Seattle Herald. "We're going to do Porno for Pyros in 2013. I have a band, Lance Herbstrong. It's two DJ's and me on guitar. We do mashups of songs and I play over it all with, like, Jimi Hendrix and Jerry Garcia. It's a lot of fun."
He explained how the name Porno for Pyros came to be.
"The Lallapalooza manager for Jane's Addiction, Stewart Ross, was with Perry Farrell while Perry was looking through a fireworks catalogue and got to the centerfold. And Stewart says, 'Wow. That's pornography for pyromaniacs.' And Perry said, 'That's great! We're naming the band Porno for Pyros.'"
DiStefano, 47, said proudly that he is "15 years off of heroin."
Matt Bradley of Deadliest Catch
Matt Bradley, 40, attended with his wife, Angela. He has fished with the Northwestern for the past 13 years of the Deadliest Catch. He told the West Seattle Herald that he, too, had drug issues and overcame them in rehab, which has been highly publicized. He said he is on the straight and narrow now.
"The show got big," he explained. "The demographics in the beginning was males, ages 18 to 25. The TV show since has hit everybody, middle-aged housewives, little kids, every age, race, and is seen in 125 countries, and in seven different languages. For me, I try to stay grounded. First and foremost I'm a fisherman, a husband, a father, and now a grandfather. I live in North Seattle. The last thing I shot (for the Deadliest Catch) was two months ago. I'll be back in The Bering Sea in October to shoot Season 9."
Helping out the bands was Tavis LeMay of Burien who crews with Alice in Chains, and Mark Cavener, of BMPP Media Group, LLC. He brought the musicians to Feedback Lounge.

Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I'd like to see that!
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
Hasn't Pete said the same thing several times over the years?
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
Perry used to be really slow at working on things. Hopefully he's not anymore. He can certainly work on a couple of things at the same time. I think Peter just means maybe they'll play a few shows. I doubt Perry would go 100% back into a P4P thing. Jane's is where he makes buck on shows.
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
Perry just answered a question on Twitter about this. He said he's thinking about it..But also said No, Janes would not be hanging it up.
Porno opening for Janes would be cool!
6 songs accoustic Porno, 8 songs Electric Janes!

Pete on fb:
If they will reunite, I would like to see this. I would definitely make an effort to catch thismusic or not, Perry and I are for sure gonna surf a bunch in 2013 ;)
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013

I would like that! The 6 songs idea was mine, not Perryz Tweet!
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
If Porno came to town to play the 'oldies' I would surely go and see it, never had a chance to see them before, unless it was at a festival that I thought had crappy bands. Other than that, not interested in anything else Perry does.........maybe, possibly unless he came through with Janes again in a club.
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I know...what if they only played Porno songs...I would dig that betterbman wrote:perkana wrote:so basically it would be this version of Jane's just playing Porno at first?bman wrote:Perry just answered a question on Twitter about this.

Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I want these guys to reunite so bad.
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
Yea but I'd rather have Watt on bass than Martyn.
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
fuck watt I want Martyn
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013

Whatever, it's not going to make Perry creative again.

Porno sounded their best with Watt. Fuck Martyn.clickie wrote:fuck watt I want Martyn
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
Having saw P4P it's easy for me to say I don't want them to do it, but I understand those that want it, especially if they missed them back in the day.
I hope they don't. If they do I hope it's just some shows, not an album. Leave P4P be.

Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I want new songs from Janes, and new songs from Porno.
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
The hooks that are in JA don't exist for PFP. There are hooks in PF that could cause problems I presume. Do the fucking album and release it online like Radiohead. It would gather more attention that way than say,....what Capitol could manage.
I think it would be great...great for Pete, for PF, for PFP, and ultimately for Jane's too.
And Martyn was best for PFP by far. Watt is a sensational player....but a fucking hurricane.

Best P4P videos:
Almost as many bassists as Janes!

Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I don't think Martyn would do it, so I'd give up on that hope. Would Watt?
I'd bet it'll be P4P w/ Chaney. Mr. Fill in. And I'd be stunned if they made new music. Perry isn't going to spend time on a non money making venture.
In fact, I'll be shocked if anything comes of this. Perry seems to tell Pete this every few years.

Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I think this will be stopped dead in it's tracks when Perry realises that it isn't the cash cow Jane's is.
...Well, the cash cow Jane's was a couple of years ago, at the start of the reunion.

Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I'm not too jazzed about a P4P reunion mainly because of the likelihood of Perry turning certain songs into lounge act parodies like he's done with certain Jane's tunes. And a 6 song x 8 song P4P/JA gig would be cool especially if the Janes set was at least half oddball deep cuts but I could see Perry just hacking through the last 3rd of such a set. Plus, I doubt either Martyn or Mike would be up for the gig for various reasons, so wthey'd probably have Cheney doing double dookie.
Re: Porno for Pyros in 2013
I could see a GGU type EP from modern day Perry. A few electric, a few acoustic songs. Jane's can stay the money maker, no pressure on Perry to make P4P contemporary and he may not give us another TGEA turd. The dude still brings it live with the energy and GGU songs are probably much easier on his 50 something year old voice. I'd go in a second.
