 Jane's Addiction, the hard-edged LA rockers who helped usher in the alternative era, will perform their landmark "Nothing's Shocking" album in its entirety at New York's CBGB festival next month.
The CBGB festival, named after the legendary but defunct club in Lower Manhattan that gave rise to a generation of cutting-edge artists, will return for a third year during the October 8-12 Columbus Day weekend to showcase an array of music and films.
Announcing the lineup on its website Thursday, the festival said that Jane's Addiction will play "Nothing's Shocking" from start to finish to mark the influential album's 25th anniversary.
The album shocked late 1980s sensibilities with its graphic depictions of violent sex and drug dependency -- including a sample of an interview with serial killer Ted Bundy -- set to dark, heavy guitar and bass.
Many US record stores refused to sell "Nothing's Shocking" with its original cover, which depicted naked Siamese twins with their hair on fire. MTV, in turn, rejected the video for the single "Mountain Song" due to nudity.
But the album, led by its comparatively upbeat single "Jane Says," quickly emerged as a classic and contributed to the rise of "alternative rock" as a counter-balance to the waning genre of mainstream '80s pop.
Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell went on to found Lollapalooza, a defining alternative rock festival.
The CBGB festival will also feature Billy Idol, the frontman for British punk rockers Generation X who achieved mainstream success in the 1980s, as well as ironic rockers Devo.
A number of more contemporary artists will also perform at the festival, including New York indie rockers We are Scientists and Serbian-born Australian house DJ Dirty South.
