Line 65: Jane's Addiction formed from the remains of frontman [[Perry Farrell]]'s previous band, [[Psi Com]]. In mid-1985, Farrell was searching for a bassist to replace Kelly Wheeler in the faltering Psi-com. He was introduced to [[Eric Avery]] by [[Carla Bozulich]] (later of [[The Geraldine Fibbers]]), and the pair bonded over a mutual appreciation of [[Joy Division]] and [[The Velvet Underground]]. They began to practice together, although Avery never became a full-fledged member of Farrell's disintegrating group.<ref>Mullen, Brendan.
