Plenty of 90s alt-rockers got their start playing in legitimate underground punk and goth rock groups before breaking into the mainstream and cashing in (Ian Astbury, for example, began with Southern Death Cult / Death Cult before hitting it big with The Cult). One lesser known group is Psi Com, the Bauhaus-worshipping band fronted by Perry Farrell, who would later go on to form Jane's Addiction and Porno For Pyros. Psi Com had only a few EPs before disbanding so that Farrell could move on to bigger (but not necessarily better) things. "Ho Ka Hey" is the opening cut from their self-titled 1985 release, a riffy post-punk/goth track that demonstrates early on the star power and vocal presence of Perry Farrell.
