Panic Channel Set Date

(Capitol) �If there was a channel that showed nothing but hysteria and panic, it would be the highest-rated channel on TV,� says guitarist Dave Navarro. �We like to think of creating music as a way to channel the panic into something tangible.�

The �we� refers to Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, bassist Chris Chaney and lead singer Steve Isaacs. The four comprise The Panic Channel. (ONe), the band�s debut album, isn�t due out until September 12th, but they�ll be previewing songs from it on their upcoming spring tour. And on May 16th, the day the tour launches, a two-song digital-only release will become available featuring �Why ry,� the lead single from the forthcoming CD, and �Tea House Of The Spirits,� another album track.

Fans may be surprised by the sound of (ONe), given the former Jane�s members� previous endeavors -- Navarro�s solo material and work with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Perkins� with Porno for Pyros and Banyan, and Chaney�s with Alanis Morissette, Tommy Lee and Taylor Hawkins. Collaborating with Isaacs has catapulted them into fresh terrain. �When a new person comes in, you can�t help but evolve,� says Navarro, who will soon begin shooting another season of CBS� �Rock Star.� �Steve comes from a singer/songwriter background, whereas Perkins and I come from more of a jamming and experimental background, and I think what we came up with is a great combination of songs and musicianship.�

An inevitable question arises when considering the album�s title: what precisely is (ONe)? Is it a typo? Leetspeek? All of the above, none of the above? (ONe) signifies many things. (ONe) = one, as in the first record, 1. (ONe) = on as in the channel is on. There is nothing more than ONE, spiritually speaking. And the parentheses? They hold everything together. And in this age of panic, that�s critical.
