Peter DiStefano (born July 10, 1965 in Santa Monica, California, U.S.[1]) is best known as the guitarist for the alternative rock band Porno for Pyros (the Jane's Addiction offshoot featuring vocalist Perry Farrell and drummer Stephen Perkins). In 1997, the band went on hiatus while Farrell focused on a reformed Jane's Addiction and DiStefano was diagnosed with testicular cancer.[1]
Three years later, the recovered DiStefano independently released two solo albums, Words in Red and Solo at DiPiazza's. A third, Gratitude, was issued on Sanctuary Records in 2004, followed by Soul Trigger, Integrity, and Loyalty.
Other musical pursuits included an electronica-oriented project called Venice Underground (which issued albums in 2000 and 2008) and collaborations with Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland, Bauhaus vocalist Peter Murphy, and fellow musician E-Rok (the latter resulted in two albums, E-Rok and Pete and E-Rok and Pete 2).
DiStefano appeared at Lollapalooza 2007 with former Porno for Pyros bandmate Perry Farrell's new band Satellite Party to perform some Porno for Pyros songs. He also attended Jane's Addiction's 2012 Lollapalooza afterparty at the Aragon Ballroom, where he performed the Porno for Pyros song "Cursed Female" with the band, taking lead guitar duties.
