Navarro busy during Jane's vacation

CULVER CITY, Calif., June 14 (UPI) -- Guitarist Dave Navarro is playing with two other rock bands while Jane's Addiction is on hiatus, MTV.com reported Monday.

Navarro has been performing with the self-described "glorified cover band" Camp Freddy, mostly around Los Angeles for the past few years and is now recording an album with producer Mike Clink, MTV.com said.

The album will feature Navarro, Matt Sorum from Velvet Revolver, Billy Morrison from the Cult, Donovan Leitch and Chris Chaney from Jane's Addiction and a revolving cast of singers, the Web site said.

Among the singers who have performed with the group are Robbie Williams, Moby, Kid Rock, Puddle of Mudd's Wes Scantlin, Nikka Costa, Skid Row's Sebastian Bach, actress Gina Gershon and Bush's Gavin Rossdale.

Navarro has also formed an unnamed band with Chaney and Stephen Perkins, also of Jane's Addiction, and former Skycycle singer Steve Isaacs.

"We don't have a direction," Navarro admitted. "The idea is to just make

music and be happy doing it without any expectations or grand ideas. It's

just kind of like when we were kids, 14 years old in the garage just

playing music and seeing what happens."
