'''Porno for Pyros''' was an American [[alternative rock]] band formed in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], in 1992, following the first break-up of [[Jane's Addiction]].<ref name="Larkin">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Popular Music]]|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=1997|edition=Concise|isbn=1-85227-745-9|pages=963/4}}</ref> The band currently consists of Jane's Addiction members [[Perry Farrell]] (vocals) and [[Stephen Perkins]] (drums),  alongside [[Peter DiStefano]] (guitar) and [[Mike Watt]] (bass).<ref>{{cite web|last=Thomas |first=Stephen |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/porno-for-pyros-mn0000355208 |title=Porno for Pyros - Music Biography, Credits and Discography |website=[[AllMusic]] |date=1993-04-27 |access-date=2012-12-23}}</ref> Founding bass guitarist [[Martyn LeNoble]] was a member of the band between 1992 and 1995, and was initially committed to the band's reunion between 2022 and 2023.

The band released two studio albums, ''[[Porno for Pyros (album)|Porno for Pyros]]'' (1993) and ''[[Good God's Urge]]'' (1996), before going on hiatus in 1998.<ref name="Larkin"/> In 2009, the original line-up reunited for a one-off appearance at frontman Perry Farrell's 50th birthday party. In 2020, the Watt-era line-up of the band reunited for Lolla2020, a free [[YouTube]] broadcast event taking place amidst global [[COVID-19 lockdowns]]. Following the appearance, members of the group continued to work on new material together,<ref name="Blabbermouth">{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/porno-for-pyros-is-working-on-new-music/|title=PORNO FOR PYROS Is Working On New Music|publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=July 23, 2021|access-date=July 23, 2021}}</ref> and in 2022, Farrell and Perkins reunited Porno for Pyros for their first large-scale public performances in more than 24 years, leading to a full reunion of the band's original line-up at [[Welcome to Rockville]] festival.

The original four-piece recorded new material in 2023, with plans to release a four-track EP in 2024. After a full reunion tour was rescheduled to 2024, LeNoble amicably left the band in November 2023, with the band subsequently announcing that their forthcoming tour would be a farewell tour.

==History==
===1992–1994: Formation and ''Porno for Pyros''===
Following the demise of the critically and commercially successful [[Jane's Addiction]], frontman [[Perry Farrell]] and drummer [[Stephen Perkins]] formed Porno for Pyros after acquiring guitarist [[Peter DiStefano]] and bass player [[Martyn LeNoble]].<ref name="Larkin"/> Farrell named the band after seeing an ad for fireworks in a pornographic magazine.<ref>Farley 1993</ref> The name has also been connected through song lyrics to the [[1992 Los Angeles riots]] which occurred in the band's hometown around the time of Porno for Pyros' inception.<ref>Browne 1993</ref>  Prior to releasing their [[Porno for Pyros (album)|eponymous first album]], Porno for Pyros embarked on a nationwide tour to support the new band.<ref name="Larkin"/> By the time the band's debut album was released in 1993, anticipation surrounding the project was enough to briefly drive the album to the No.&nbsp;3 position on the [[Billboard Magazine|Billboard]] top 200 list. The video for the album's second single, "[[Pets (song)|Pets]]", received heavy airplay on [[MTV]]. Following the album's release, Porno for Pyros continued a heavy touring schedule, including an appearance at [[Woodstock '94]] along with a cameo on HBO's ''The Larry Sanders Show''.<ref name="Larkin"/> Unlike the relatively straight-ahead rock shows that were the hallmark of live Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros live shows relied heavily on props, extras<ref name="ram">{{cite web|url=http://www.ram.org/music/woodstock/woodstock.html |title=Woodstock 1994 concert review |website=Ram.org |access-date=2011-06-04}}</ref> and special effects (including pyrotechnics).

===1995–1998: ''Good God's Urge'' and break-up===
For the band's follow-up album, ''[[Good God's Urge]]'', bass player LeNoble quit after completing the majority of the bass tracks. Ex-[[The Minutemen (band)|Minutemen]] bassist [[Mike Watt]] was brought in to finish up the album tracks<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,229537,00.html |title=Good God s Urge by Porno for Pyros @ ARTISTdirect.com – Shop, Listen, Download |publisher=Artistdirect.com |date=1996-05-28 |access-date=2011-06-04}}</ref> and join the band on tour.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433262/19970110/porno_for_pyros.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030903021626/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433262/19970110/porno_for_pyros.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 3, 2003 |title=News – Articles – 1433262 |publisher=Mtv.com |date=1997-01-10 |access-date=2011-06-04}}</ref> The album also featured the post-Jane's reunion of Farrell with guitarist [[Dave Navarro]], who made a guest appearance on "Freeway", along with Red Hot Chili Peppers' bass player Flea.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Porno_for_Pyros/Discography/album/P41003/R234917/ |title=Good God's Urge Album Review, Songs, Ratings |publisher=Starpulse.com |date=2010-06-17 |access-date=2011-06-04 |archive-date=2011-06-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607024620/http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Porno_for_Pyros/Discography/album/P41003/R234917/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The band again set forth on a heavy touring schedule with Watt on bass, then with Flea on bass with Perkins and Farrell's former Jane's Addiction bandmate Dave Navarro on guitar. In reality, the end of Porno For Pyros bled into the "relapsed Jane's Addiction" situation, as Jane's guitarist Dave Navarro and his Red Hot Chili Pepper bandmate Flea guested on 2 songs from the Good God's Urge sessions, "Freeway" and "Hard Charger."  As "Hard Charger" was released and charted as a single from the Howard Stern Private Parts movie, the final touring dates for Porno For Pyros featured 3/4 of Jane's Addiction Dave Navarro and Flea onstage with Peter DeStefano and touring members Sunny Reinhart and Thomas "TJ" Johnson. On several tour stops Porno for Pyros played "Mountain Song", a popular Jane's Addiction tune, a foreshadowing of the later Jane's Addiction reunion efforts. Further touring by the band was scuttled when DiStefano was diagnosed with [[cancer]].<ref name="Larkin"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433267/19961206/porno_for_pyros.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030902223457/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433267/19961206/porno_for_pyros.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 2, 2003 |title=News – Articles – 1433267 |website=Mtv.com |date=1996-12-06 |access-date=2011-06-04}}</ref>

Perkins and Watt subsequently formed the jazz-punk improvisation group [[Banyan (band)|Banyan]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.moderndrummer.com/2006/10/stephen-perkins-2/ |title=Stephen Perkins: Artists: Modern Drummer Magazine |date=15 October 2006 |publisher=Moderndrummer.com |access-date=2017-12-12 }}</ref> and, along with DiStefano, occasionally perform sets of [[The Stooges|Stooges]] cover versions in the Los Angeles area under the band name [[Hellride]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hobomagazine.com/?q=node/17 |title=Mike Watt |website=Hobomagazine.com |date=2007-12-18 |access-date=2011-06-04}}</ref>

===2009–2019: One-off reunion and rumours===
In April 2009, the original lineup of Farrell, Perkins, DiStefano, and LeNoble performed at Farrell's 50th birthday party.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=118044 |title=Blabbermouth.Net |publisher=Roadrunnerrecords.com |date=2007-12-01 |access-date=2011-06-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090628223134/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=118044 |archive-date=2009-06-28 }}</ref> In April 2011, Farrell wrote on his [[Twitter]] account: "One day, more Porno For Pyros",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/perryfarrell/statuses/63298834708705280 |title=Twitter |publisher=Twitter |access-date=2013-05-12}}</ref> suggesting that the band would reunite in the future. On September 3, 2012, DiStefano stated that the band would be active in 2013, which was later also announced by Farrell on his Facebook page on July 6, 2013.<ref>{{cite web|last=Shay |first=Steve |url=http://www.westseattleherald.com/2012/09/03/news/slideshow-porno-pyros-peter-distefano-leads-feedb |title=SLIDESHOW: Porno for Pyros' Peter DiStefano leads Feedback Lounge ensemble &#124; West Seattle Herald / White Center News |website=Westseattleherald.com |access-date=2012-12-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151716406069181 |title=Perry Farrell - Timeline Photos |publisher=Facebook |access-date=2015-08-25}}</ref> In 2018, the band were rumoured to be part of an immersive entertainment experience in [[Las Vegas]], named Kind Heaven, created by Farrell, which never came to fruition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2018/03/porno-for-pyros-will-reunite-for-perry-farrells-insane-vegas-show/|title=Porno For Pyros Will Reunite For Perry Farrell's Insane Vegas Show|website=Spin.com|date=March 17, 2018}}</ref>

===2020–2024: Full reunion and farewell tour===
On July 27, 2020, it was announced that for the first time in 22 years, Porno for Pyros (featuring the lineup of Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, Mike Watt and Peter DiStefano) would be reuniting to play Lolla2020, a free four-night [[YouTube]] broadcast event taking place on the original dates of the 2020 Chicago-based [[Lollapalooza]] festival, Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/first-porno-for-pyros-reunion-in-24-years-planned-for-lolla2020-virtual-festival-weekend/|title=First PORNO FOR PYROS Reunion In 24 Years Planned For LOLLA2020 Virtual Festival Weekend |publisher=Blabbermouth |date= 2020-07-27|access-date=2020-07-30}}</ref>

On July 20, 2021, DiStefano announced on his Facebook page that he, Farrell and Perkins were working on what will be new material from Porno for Pyros in over two decades.<ref name="Blabbermouth"/>

On May 18, 2022, Farrell shared Jane’s Addiction will not be playing [[Welcome to Rockville]] concert in Daytona Beach, Florida, on May 22 due to guitarist [[Dave Navarro]] suffering from a “long bout” of COVID-19, but is reuniting his band Porno for Pyros for the performance.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-18 |title=Porno for Pyros reuniting for Welcome to Rockville in place of Jane's Addiction |url=https://98kupd.com/porno-for-pyros-reuniting-for-welcome-to-rockville-in-place-of-janes-addiction/ |access-date=2022-05-19 |website=98KUPD - Arizona's Real Rock |language=en-US}}</ref> “The gang and the government are no different. That makes me 1%. Rockville, although we are blue that Jane’s cannot be with you at this time due to Dave’s long bout with COVID, I am still coming to Daytona, bringing to you for the first time in 26 years Porno For Pyros Featuring myself, Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, Peter DiStefeno and Mike Watt. We’ll play some Jane’s songs for you as well, but for now let’s recall: My boat’s capsized it’s gonna sink to the bottom. I can see the lights on the shore…” noted Farrell on the Welcome to Rockville [[Facebook]] page.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Porno For Pyros Announce First Show In 26 Years |url=https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-05-18-porno-for-pyros-announce-first-show-in-26-years/ |access-date=2022-05-19 |website=iHeart |language=en}}</ref> Drummer Stephen Perkins was replaced by his drum tech Mike Gryciuk for the performance due to a stomach virus, with Nick Maybury, formerly of Scott Weiland & the Wildabouts on additional guitar.

For the band's subsequent summer shows and appearance at [[Lollapalooza]], founding bassist Martyn LeNoble rejoined the band, with the original four-piece working on new material the following year. The band will release a four-track EP of original material in 2024.

After the band's initial reunion tour was postponed and rescheduled, LeNoble announced his amicable departure from the band on November 13, 2023: "I’m so excited for the world to hear "Agua" and the other unreleased material from our recent sessions. There is a real connection between these new songs and how we've grown. We've mended our friendships and recorded these songs with love. I think you will hear that in the recordings. I've changed. I like quiet and nature. With that being said, I will be following my passion for wildlife and will not be part of the upcoming tour. I wish my brothers Perry, Pete and Stephen the best. I'm truly grateful for every moment I spent with them. Most importantly, thank you to all of you for all of the amazing support and memories."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CzjwJDnvv29/?hl=en|title=... I've changed.

Following LeNoble's departure, the band announced that their 2024 tour would now be a farewell tour, titled the "Horns, Thorns en Halos",<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/porno-for-pyros-reschedule-2024-dates-now-calling-reunion-tour-a-farewell/|title=Porno for Pyros Reschedule 2024 Dates, Now Calling Reunion Tour a Farewell|date=November 15, 2023|website=Pitchfork.com}}</ref> with Mike Watt rejoining the band on bass guitar for its final shows.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://consequence.net/2023/11/perry-farrell-mike-watt-porno-for-pyros-2024-farewell-tour/|title=Perry Farrell: Mike Watt to Play Bass on Porno for Pyros Tour|website=Consequence.net|date=November 29, 2023}}</ref>
