On the heels of announcing their farewell tour, Porno for Pyros played a secret loft party in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend. The gig saw the band performing with Mike Watt, who served as the group’s bassist from 1995 to 1998.
Watt actually played with Porno for Pyros during their first reunion show last year at Welcome to Rockville, while original bassist Martyn LeNoble joined the band for their other 2022 gigs. A press release for Porno for Pyros’ 2024 farewell outing lists Perry Farrell, Peter DiStefano, and Stephen Perkins as the touring band, leaving it a bit of a mystery as to who will be playing bass on the full tour.
During the loft show, Porno for Pyros performed a four-song set that included the live debut of recent comeback single “Agua,” along with classic tracks “Good God’s://Urge!,” “Tahitian Moon,” and “Pets.”
As previously reported, the band’s “Horns, Thorns, En Halos Farewell Tour” kicks off February 13th in Santa Ana, California, and runs through a March 10th show in Montclair, New Jersey. Tickets are available here.

The 2022 shows were Porno for Pyros’ first gigs in 25 years, while “Agua” marked their first new song in 26 years. The band reunited to fill in for Farrell and Perkins’ main band Jane’s Addiction when they had to bow out of a couple of festivals due to guitarist Dave Navarro’s battle with long COVID.
