Back in the proto-alternative '80s, 18-year-old Stephen Perkins played drums in a little hard-rock band called Jane's Addiction. The '90s ensued, and Perkins came out the other side a well-respected session player and a well-connected solo artist. Banyan, Perkins' multimedia collective, has dozens of rotating members — from Flea to Nels Cline, Petra Hayden to performance painter Norton Wisdom — and touches on jazz, art rock, and punk with experimental aplomb. Tonight's over-stuffed bill also features three local acts who take that same free-thinking sonic sensibility in delightfully diverse directions.
