NIN/JA
A few of us went out to Shoreline last night to see NIN|JA. The opener, Street Sweeper Social Club, is Tom Morello's (of Rage Against The Machine) new project, and is pretty damn awesome. Very Living Colour. NIN was... okay. Frankly, this is why I won't go to see other heavily electronic acts like Depeche Mode, either. Too much fog, lights, keyboards, and boys standing in front of them. But still very good, and he played "Head Like A Hole" as a closer, which, yay..
Jane's Addiction was VERY good. Perry Farrell is just the prettiest pixieish princess. They actually performed "Been Caught Stealin'", which made the crowd go apeshit, and closed out with the acoustic version of "Jane Says", which was fantastic. Farrell felt up Navarro at one point (can't blame him), and Navarro kissed Farrell on the cheek - which, from everything I'd heard about the band, was surprising. And awesome.
The whole night brought me back to being 17-18, and hearing a lot of this music for the first time. Looking around the audience, it was pretty clear I wasn't the only one. Lots of aging rockers, still stuffing themselves into their corsets and plaid mini-skirts. Good times.
