| JUNE 5, 2006 (Hollywood, Calif.) -- Rock Star Go Home is very happy to report that Stephen Perkins, the legendary drummer of Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros, Banyan and The Panic Channel, will return for another season as Rock Star Go Home's Celebrity Blogger!
"Like I said last year," Perkins noted in a recent interview, "In rock, you either bring it. Or, you go home."
Perkins' blog was one of the core reasons for Rock Star Go Home's amazing success during Rock Star: INXS. The drummer's 'behind the scenes' perspective was insightful and entertaining.
"Perkins has played with these guys - Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro," noted ReX (Rock Star Go Home Creator), "We're stoked to have Perk on the team telling the Rock Star Go Home community the inside scoop on how you form a band like Supernova!"
In closing, Perkins noted that he has some more goodies to share including the details on The Panic Channel's spring tour and the new release of ONe! (Perkins recently formed The Panic Channel with Dave Navarro, Chris Chaney and Steve Isaacs.)

Stephen Andrew Perkins (born September 13, 1967 in Los Angeles, California) is a Jewish-American musician and songwriter. He plays drums and percussion. His most famous project is Jane's Addiction. Following the disolution of Jane's Addiction, Perkins continued to play with frontman Perry Farrell in the rock band Porno for Pyros. His own project is called Banyan and in the 1990s he was involved in Lil' Pit with Mike Watt. In 1991, he appeared as percussion player on Rage Against the Machine's first record.
In addidtion to Banyan, Perkins is currently working with Ex-Jane's guitarist Dave Navarro, bass player Chris Chaney (Who played bass for the last Jane's Addiction studio album Strays), and singer/guitarist Steve Isaacs on a new project, entitled The Panic Channel.
Perkins was also involved with members of Suicidal Tendencies in their Infectious Grooves side project, as well as Hellride, a Los Angeles-based Stooges cover band.
His drum style is considered to be exotic because of polyrhythms and African elements.
