HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Perry Farrell

Like Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor—Jane's Addiction's tourmate last summer—Perry Farrell has been finding inspiration close to home lately. Reznor's latest outfit, How To Destroy Angels, is a collaboration with his wife, and Ferrell's new Perry And Etty project is likewise a nuptial affair. When not making music (or organizing Lollapalooza itself), Ferrell spins it. He's been a dilettante DJ for years, operating mostly under the name DJ Peretz. Upbeat, trance-y, yet organic, his sets usually shoot for a euphoric vibe that definitely stands out on a bill full of indie-dance and electro. Of course, like most musician-turned-DJs, Ferrell isn't above mixing in a tune or two from his previous bands. Who's gonna tell him no?
