Trent Reznor announced this morning via twitter the launching of the official NINJA 2009 tour website.
On the website located at http://www.ninja2009.com, a brand new tour EP, “seed 6″ can be found available for free download!
The EP which features previously unreleased material from the 3 NINJA tour bands- Nine Inch Nails, Jane’s Addiction, and Street Sweeper- is AWESOME! The new site has some very nice promo photos of the bands as well.
Tickets for the tour have already gone on sale via nin.com for most venues and Trent has assured the fans that the bands will not be supplying scalpers with tickets.

A lot of news regarding Jane’s Addiction and Nine Inch Nails!
I updated the photos with the latest clue as well – A photo of Perry Farrell with the band on stage practicing.
Apparently Jane’s Addiction IS on the tour with NIN and will be opening tonight.
With them or without them- is another question.
Hey Trent, 2009 makes 20 years, so will there be another Halo? ;)
Trent Reznor also wrote an epic note on his website today saying how Nine Inch Nails is OVER FOR A WHILE… and here it is…
2.16.09: A note from Trent and a wave goodbye
Towards the beginning of my career in Nine Inch Nails, our biggest break came in the form of an invitation to perform a series of shows with Jane’s Addiction. These performances essentially created and defined the term “alternative” rock in the US, created an ongoing festival franchise that is still thriving (Lollapalooza), set the stage for Nirvana to shift popular taste a few months later, and were really fucking FUN to play and attend – truly the best times I’ve had. The shows were epic. So epic, they propelled NIN to the “next level” (whatever that means), but caused Jane’s to implode. The band broke up at the end of that tour.
Fast forward to the present. Corporate rock STILL sucks. A friend tells me they saw the original Jane’s lineup play a tiny show in LA that was unbelievable. I break out my Jane’s records and am amazed by how vital they sound. These guys were the real deal and in this current climate mostly dominated by poseurs and pussies it was refreshing to hear something that sounded dangerous, volatile, beautiful and SINCERE.
Emails were sent, phone calls were made, dinner was arranged, ideas were discussed and the next thing I know we’re in the studio experimenting. We laugh, we get to know each other, we cry, we yell, we almost quit, we record LOTS of guitar solos, we discuss, we actually begin to all communicate, we yell some more, we become FRIENDS, we laugh again and we do some great things. I get to see first hand why they broke up all those years ago but I also get the chance to see four distinct personalities that become an INCREDIBLE band when they’re in the same room.
In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I’ve been thinking for some time now it’s time to make NIN disappear for a while. Last year’s “Lights in the Sky” tour was something I’m quite proud of and seems like the culmination of what I could pull off in terms of an elaborate production. It was also quite difficult to pull off technically and physically night after night and left us all a bit dazed. After some thought, we decided to book a last run of shows across the globe this year. The approach to these shows is quite different from last year – much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted. Fun for us and a different way for you to see us and wave goodbye. I reached out to Jane’s to see if they’d want to join us across the US and we all felt it could be a great thing. Will it work? Will it resonate in the marketplace? Who knows. Are there big record label marketing dollars to convince you to attend? Nope.
Does it feel right to us and does it seem like it will be fun for us and you? Yes it does.
Look for tour dates soon and I hope to see you out there.
Trent

Trent Reznor, pioneer rock genius behind Nine Inch Nails is back in the studio/out of the studio with NIN *and*Jane’s Addiction! After a short break from the first leg of his world tour, he’s been posting random pictures for a week now on his website, nin.com. Trent’s having fun subversively again, dropping hints as the fans speculate, and boy do they speculate! Perhaps he’s producing the new Jane’s Addiction album? Perhaps Jane’s will double headline on NIN’s upcoming tour, or maybe even some of Jane’s band members will be joining NIN on a new record!… Year Zero, pt 2!?
Whatever he’s up to – does he ever rest?
Here’s my cap of the NIN Winter 2009 Photoblog–
