Jane’s Addiction continues building the buzz toward the April release of its boxed set – you didn’t think these cool little gigs were for funsies, did you? – with another club show.”  After packing tiny La Cita [Perry Farrell, pictured there] and only slightly larger El Cid in recent months, they take on the Echoplex tonight in a show for 500 fans who signed up on the band’s website (and received confirmations). On his blog Sunday, Dave Navarro explains some confusion. From all appearances, there will be no general-admission ticket sales; I will check later today and update this post with what I find out. There are also mad rumors about a possible Trent Reznor sighting, since members of Jane’s Addiction have been in the studio with Nine Inch Nails. Ah, the drama. (Me, I signed up on the JA website but did not get a confirmation – a good thing, since I am committed to DJing at Spaceland tonight for Le Switch’s residency, where San Diego’s Swim Party also will play). … Local Natives continue their residency at the Silverlake Lounge; Army Navy and Eastern Conference Champions are among the support. … And Holloys carry on their run of Mondays at the Echo; Rainbow Arabia supports. … Vegas rockers Adelitas Way are at the Viper Room. … And Australia-bred, New York-based Tamarama play the Hotel Cafe.
