Very interesting band composed of 2 drummers and a singer, whom controlled the electronic beats from his Mac pro. They had a def darker sound with some great melodies infused between the smashing combination of both drummers. The lighting set the mood with a dark stage with purple lights and a few LCD strips pulsing colors to the sounds of the music. By looking around most people where waiting to come when the nights headliner took the center stage.

As i stepped outside I heard fans talking about stories of other bands they enjoyed. They were swapping stories from The Red 

Hot Chilli Peppers to CKY, telling me they were music fans that were here to rock with bands in the historic venue , The Murat, in downtown Indy.
 
 As the crowd looked up they found two beautiful Asian women downed in long dresses to the stage, on swings about 30 feet in the air. As they swung back and forth, Janes Addiction took the stage and strapped on their weapons of mass destruction. The mission was clear, and it had began.
 

The show was part side show theatrics's, and all rock. This reminded me of the rock shows from some of the great bands of the times like Floyd, Ozzy, (fill in more). The two incredibly sexy women from the beginning being the center of this show at times, doing everything from naughty disciplining to asphyxiation. A highlight of the night was when they acoustic instruments were brought out. This intimacy it brought left you just enough time to settle down before they took it up a notch. They took it up again when Big Black Delta joined them on stage for  a massive collaboration on a stage full of drums. This definitely pleased the crowd, who went crazy through the whole song almost pleading for more once the drum spectacle was over. 

 
 
The crowd never stopped to set down as the theatrical show which was Janes Addiction live in concert,  went on. When the smoke cleared, and the theatrics left the stage, there stood the four musicians that left an impression on each person in that nights crowd. They showed us not only why they have been able to do this for such a long time, but how they do it
