  • Deconstruction was a band formed by former Jane's Addiction members, guitarist Dave Navarro and bassist Eric Avery. Originally their former Jane's Addiction bandmate drummer Stephen Perkins was slated to be Deconstruction's drummer but instead joined Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell's new band Porno for Pyros. Drummer Michael Murphey was instead recruited for percussion duties. The band, all Los Angeles residents, recorded material in a studio somewhere along the Big Sur coastline in California and released a self titled LP in 1994 to little public appeal and varied critical acclaim. This came in marked contrast to Porno for Pyros, who were consistent with their lukewarm reviews, despite their relative popularity. Deconstruction released only one LP and one promotional single, "L.A. Song", and did not tour due to Eric Avery reportedly being still weary from extensive touring in Jane's Addiction. A British band of the same name sought to legally stop Eric Avery and company from using the name Deconstruction, but dropped threats of legal action when they were assured the Californian trio's album would be a one-off project. Dave Navarro went on to join the Red Hot Chili Peppers later that year and participate in Jane's Addiction reunions in 1997 and 2001 respectively, whilst Eric Avery refrained and remains in relative obscurity. He has since played bass for Garbage and Alanis Morissette's band, he auditioned for the vacant bass chair in Metallica after Jason Newsted's departure (a position since filled by Robert Trujillo), but has mainly focused on writing and recording in his band Polar Bear, and his own solo work thereafter. Today, the Deconstruction album is considered a cult masterpiece.
  • Deconstruction est un groupe de rock alternatif américain formé en 1993 par Dave Navarro et Eric Avery après la dissolution de leur ancien groupe, Jane's Addiction. Le groupe comprenait donc Dave Navarro à la guitare, Eric Avery à la basse et au chant et Michael Murphy à la batterie. Le groupe sort un album éponyme en 1994 et les critiques sont élogieuses pour leur son très expérimentale. D'ailleurs l'album a eu plus de succès que celui de Porno for Pyros de Perry Farrell et de Stephen Perkins. L'album est considéré aujourd'hui comme un album culte. Mais Dave Navarro a rejoint entre-temps les Red Hot Chili Peppers pour pallier le départ de John Frusciante et le groupe Deconstruction se sépare après avoir réalisé un unique album. Eric Avery a ensuite fondé un autre groupe, Polar Bear en 1995.
