Perry Farrell's Satellite Party Takes To The States

Following on the heels of their European tour, alternative rock originator Perry Farrell has announced that his new rock project Satellite Party will tour behind its recently released debut album, Ultra Payloaded (Bells Are Ringing Records). Fans will also be thrilled that Farrell will be performing material from Jane’s Addiction, as well as, Porno For Pyros. The outing will begin on Wednesday, August 8th at the House of Blues in Cleveland, OH, the is set to include 40 dates and will culminate at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, NV on Wednesday, October 10th, 2007.

Three years in the making, Ultra Payloaded blends sounds as varied as rock, urban beats and symphony in what Rolling Stone Magazine calls “Farrell’s best work since Ritual. The album also features a host of contributing musicians such as Flea and John Frusciante, Hybrid, Peter Hook, Thievery Corporation and Fergie, amongst others. One of the album's highlights features an unreleased vocal track from The Doors, a song in which Farrell has been given permission by The Doors estate to work with. Entitled "Woman In The Window," Morrison sings against a backdrop of Farrell's music, "Just try and stop us, we're going to love" before the song culminates with an elegant piano outro. Farrell calls the track the mantra of The Solutionists. “When you hear it, it sounds as though Jim Morrison were watching us and commenting on the world today,” said Farrell, who was “in awe” of the prescience of Morrison’s images and used the song to tell of “a majestic, yet troubled Earth from the vantage point of an angel.”

Ultra Payloaded’s message is imbued with the same passion and idealism with which Farrell has lived his life -- from working to better the environment to defending human rights. Currently, Perry Farrell and Satellite Party are working closely with Green Mountain and the NRDC to cool off the planet.
