“I have to put the brakes on in my mind.”
– Perry Farrell

Since Perry Farrell broke into the music scene in the early ’80’s few people have had such an impact on modern music. In fact, his co-creation, Lollapalooza changed the face of American music festivals forever. But it is really the impact of bands like Jane’’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros which has cemented Farrell into the world’’s musical consciousness. His new collaboration, Satellite Party, is set to expand that world view.

Satellite Party unites Farrell with cohorts such as producer/guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and collaborators like Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fergie, Thievery Corporation and even a spoken word appearance by the still dead Jim Morrison. I got a chance to talk with Farrell about this exciting new work on the phone while he was in Hong Kong.
