Los Angeles alternative Rock outfit Porno For Pyros, have embarked on their farewell tour in February. After a 26-year touring hiatus, Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, and Peter DiStefano kicked off the 15-city tour, produced by Live Nation, on Feb. 13 at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California.
Porno for Pyros perform locally on their Horns, Thorns, En Halos Farewell Tour at The Fillmore Silver Spring on Sunday, March 3.
Thirty years since their self-titled album, Porno for Pyros has also begun to debut new music including a new ocean conscious single “Agua” released lsat year.
Perry Farrell shared his excitement for the launch stating, “Now, we’re here, and that same heart, that same desire to make music together, has returned. Getting together with these guys has been some of the most fun, the happiest times in my life.”
Originally inspired by the band members’ close encounters with dolphins on their globe-trotting surfing trips of the ‘90s, “Agua” reflects their contemporary environmental concerns.

Not long ago, original members (Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, Peter DiStefano, and Martyn LeNoble) reunited for a sold-out show at the Belasco in DTLA. Since then, they have performed at Rockville, the Chicago Metro followed by a live performance at Lollapalooza.

ABOUT PORNO FOR PYROS
Porno for Pyros is an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1992, following the break-up of Jane’s Addiction. The band comprised former Jane’s Addiction members Perry Farrell (vocals) and Stephen Perkins (drums), as well as Peter DiStefano (guitar) and Martyn LeNoble (bass), until LeNoble was replaced by Mike Watt during the recording of 1996’s Good God’s Urge. The band released two studio albums, Porno for Pyros (1993) and Good God’s Urge (1996), before going on hiatus in 1998. Porno for Pyros has since reunited occasionally, and they were working on new material as of 2021.
