The federal minimum wage has basically become an outdated relic: It last went up to $7.25 on July 24, 2009 — 15 years ago. Why it matters: Though very few people actually earn $7.25 an hour or less, the federal standard has ripple effects for all hourly workers — helping to keep pay low for millions.

It’s been a while. Jane’s Addiction’s ‘classic lineup’ consisting of vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery have released a studio single, “Imminent Redemption.” Prior to “Imminent Redemption“ Avery’s last time in the studio with Jane’s Addiction was for the ’90 album “Ritual De Lo Habitual.” Navarro left Jane’s Addiction in ’91 and spent much of the decade with the Red Hot Chili Peppers before returning to Jane’s Addiction in ’08. But he sat out the band’s ’22 and ’23 shows due to his battle with long COVID. Last year, Josh Klinghoffer (another RHCP alum)) filled in. “It is different this time,” said the band. “To have everyone back together, releasing new music. It’s time. Welcome to the next chapter of Jane’s Addiction.” “Imminent Redemption“ was first performed live when the classic lineup played its first show in 14 years last May in London. ### The post Jane’s Addiction Deliver “Imminent Redemption” appeared first on RockinTown.
