Listening to Help Wanted, one might think Eric Avery is a man ruled by his moods. His first formal solo project is dark and deep – dark in its intimations of disillusionment, isolation and alienation, deep in its layered electronic textures and sometimes-unsettling effects. Even on cuts like “Walk Through Walls (The Man Who Can Fly Pt. 5),” which has a droll, swaggering rhythm reminiscent of Kurt Weill, Avery conjures a dangerous, deluded figure who declares: “I can walk through walls and I can fly and that’s not all/ I’ve drunk the oceans dry and that’s left me all-powerful/ But that’s no help at all/ When you can’t see/ You won’t see me.”
Eric, It was great seeing you at the Merriweather Post the other day with the NINJA tour. You were really awsome! Fantastic seeing you. I took a bunch of pictures, and you're welcome to take a look at the at my profile page. They're in the 'Pics' section. Thanks again, Rick
Eric, Thanks for an amazing tour. I saw you last weekend in NJ and NY and last night in CT and you guys blew me away especially last night. I hope you guys can keep it together and write some new stuff. The band is not whole without you. Help Wanted is killer by the way. Enjoy the rest before heading overseas. Peace, Pat
I know I probably only count as one of your fans, but Jane's Addiction is sincerely one of my favorite bands of all time. You guys are simply the most underrated band in music, but not underrated to me and my interests. Your music will stick to me until the day I die.
Hello, Eric! It was such a pleasure meeting you backstage last night before the show! My brother and I thought you were so cool and nice (and I thought you were very cute too, just don't tell your wife ;) Anyway, my weekend was simply amazing seeing JA perform both Saturday and Sunday! You mentioned something about getting the JA site running so we can add a list for "friends and family" and just to let you know, I've worked for a few rocket scientists on a multimedia NASA program at Harvard Medical School in past, so the JA site should be a cinch for me!!!! Wishing you and the rest of the band lots of love and positive energy for the rest of the tour! I sincerely hope to see you again sometime! Be well, dude, and ROCK ON! P.S. I gave you the rose quartz stone to give to Dave for his birthday? If he's just gonna throw it in his bag of tricks, please feel free to keep it for yourself, OK? Hey, gotta spread the love around to all! ;)
