Porno for Pyros lands in Denver to play the Fillmore Auditorium on Thursday, February 22, for its reunion as well as farewell tour, and drummer Stephen Perkins — who also plays with Porno for Pyros singer Perry Farrell in the legendary Los Angeles rock group Jane’s Addiction — is fondly reminiscing on the quirky, psychedelic-rock band’s early-’90s formation.
“Think what the environment was in the music scene in ’93,” Perkins says from behind a drum kit at an L.A. rehearsal space. “Jane’s Addiction obviously broke up in ’91, and I had a year with Infectious Grooves before we started Porno. I met a whole group of musicians more on the metal side, and that fine-tuned some of my drum skills away from where Jane’s Addiction was, which was very groovy and tribal at the essence.”
