YouTubery: Jane's Addiction and Steer Clear

Thursday April 24, 2008

Just in case you missed MySpace broadcast of the Jane’s Addiction performance (with the original lineup) on last night’s NME Awards USA, the first videos have hit YouTube.

Granted, at times they looks like they were shot while the videographer was dancing, head banging and riding a unicycle, and you hear more of the crowd singing than the band, and it really looks like the clip was uploaded just so the shooter could flaunt his/her close proximity to the stage, but you can at least tell the band was having fun while they played “Ocean Size” and “Mountain Song.” Hopefully, this spawns a reunion tour, so our only proof of this reunion isn’t this jerky clip, which could be retitled The Punk Witch Project (you can see the videos here).

Also on YouTube, the guys from Steer Clear, one of the best new bands to come out of SXSW 2008, have posted a little tour diary of their trip to Austin. It’s fun, shows a little bit of the showcase we saw them at and seems pretty indicative of the fun that can be had on the road. Check them out here.
