Courtney Love Performing Solo With Jane's Addiction

Hole frontwoman will open show at Hollywood Bowl next month.

Courtney Love is going solo — at least for one night.

The Hole frontwoman will play her first show billed as a solo artist in Los Angeles on October 27, opening for Jane's Addiction. Ex-Hole drummer Patty Schemel will back her at the Hollywood Bowl, as will other still-unannounced musicians, according to Love's manager, James Barber.

New songs will make up more than half of her set list, while Hole tunes and other material will comprise the rest. Though a source said the singer/guitarist is considering opening more shows for Jane's Addiction, Barber said, "At this point, [one show is] all there is."

Earlier this month, Love said she was considering a solo career because Bastard, the all-female rock group she formed in March, had dwindled down to just her and Schemel. But for now she has not given up on finding replacements for Veruca Salt guitarist Louise Post and former Rockit Girl guitarist Gina Crosley, who bailed to work together on a new Veruca Salt album (see [article id="1448738"]"Love Shopping Bastard Demo, Looking For New Bandmates"[/article]).

"When I was a little girl, I saw 'Josie and the Pussycats' a lot, and I had that Beatles poster, and I put girl faces on them. I just wanted an all-girl band that's really, really, really good," Love said. "That's never really happened. Not like, 'Aren't we cute, we're all girls,' but for f---ing real, as good as Zeppelin. ... If we can't kick Fred [Durst]'s ass then I don't want to do it."

Hole are currently inactive as Love and guitarist Eric Erlandson fight a legal battle with Geffen Records ([article id="1448711"]"Courtney Love Continues To Pursue Geffen In Court"[/article]).
