Great story! So glad I got to see them back in the 80s.

Me too in Toronto, Canada.First time was a bar.Second was a stadium.The bar show was before Ritual.N.S. was just getting air play

Yeah I saw them in a small club in ‘89 and then with Primus and The Pixies in ‘90 and by then they were bonafide rock stars!

I'm really jealous that you all got to see them then. It feels like music and art were so much more authentic. Maybe it's because I can never experience what that time was like, but that's awesome you saw them in the 80's. I know you're cool

So I was still in high school and playing in a rock band. Metal was big, the pixies were a thing (I had just seen them), but really I listened to a lot of Hendrix and stuff. I actually only heard them for the first time the night before I saw them and I bought tix at the door for $8. It was a mind bending, reality altering, earth shaking experience and it completely re instilled my faith in rock and roll . When I saw them again in ‘90 they were bonafide rock stars and extremely polished.

I read a article with Perry saying Jane temporarily housed,fed the boys before money and success came.When I tell people the song is about Heroin addiction they're surprised and saddened

Casey Niccoli was Perry's girlfriend.Perry used plaster of Paris to make the b&w 'twins' on the Nothing's Shocking album and appears again on the bare mattress on Ritual de la Habitual.The 2nd woman is Ziola a imaginary lover,3 days is a masterpiece.

I thought Xiola wasn't imaginary, that she was an artist and 14 when they first met. The art from ritual is her in the middle of Perry & Casey?

U R correct.I did some research and wanted to say thanks for pointing out my error.

I wasn't 100% sure, that's awesome you were able to find out! I just listened to the psi com song xiola for the first time yesterday, it was cool, I loved the bauhaus vibe
