Porno For Pyros Share New Holiday Single, ‘Pete’s Dad’
Ahead of their 2024 farewell tour and the release of a three-song EP, Porno for Pyros have given fans an early holiday gift in the form of the single “Pete’s Dad.” The standalone track salutes guitarist Peter DiStefano’s father, who survived cancer against the odds, and reflects the band’s joy in finding out the news.
“Best friends are people of action. When Porno for Pyros created this song, that’s when I knew these band of men were my best friends,” DiStefano said.

So far, Porno for Pyros have released “Agua” from the upcoming EP, which is out in February. Of the song, frontman Perry Farrell told SPIN, “I love that one because one of the things the world needs to work on is the distribution of clean water.”
Speaking of the tour, which begins Feb. 13 in Santa Ana, Ca., Farrell said, “I couldn’t be happier. We’re going into the underground again and we’re going to be performing with DIY artists around the country and we’re going create a scene from blood, sweat and tears.”
Longtime bassist Mike Watt is also back in the fold with Pornos for the second time, replacing Martyn LeNoble, who bowed out last month for personal reasons.
