Xiola Bleu was former girlfriend of Perry Farrell from the Psi Com days; she was only fourteen when they met. She was a friend and had a similar likeness to Casey Niccoli. Her picture is included in the back of the liner notes of the Ritual de lo Habitual album, she is also depicted on the cover as the figure in the center, embraced by Perry and Casey. Xiola died of a heroin overdose in her apartment the East Twenties of New York in June of 1987. Perry took Xiola's death pretty hard. He had introduced her to heroin nearly five years earlier and was struggling with his own addiction.
Xiola's real first name is Lisa. Her last name is known, but out of respect for her family's desire for privacy, I will not include it here. Xiola wend under the alias Xiola Bleu, however Perry had a tendency to write it as ""Xiola Blue."" Xiola now rests in the Detroit, Michigan area where her mother lives.
The song Three Days is about Xiola's three-day return to Los Angeles for her father's funeral. This would be the last time Perry would see Xiola before her death. The song is, however, not about her death as it was written a few months before that, in 1986. The song alludes to Perry, Casey and Xiola spending their days together in a haze of sex and drugs.
Perry wrote another song about Xiola while he was in Psi Com. The song Xiola can be found on the Triple-X Records re-release of the self-titled Psi Com album. Xiola was also close to the L.A. band Fishbone. She dated Angelo for a while, and was a very good friend of Chris Downd. Chris had the unenviable task of notifying Perry of their mutual friend's death.
Xiola's mother doesn't want people to remember her daughter as a junkie, but as a person and an incredible artist. Perry and Casey have both said her artistic creativity was unparallel to anyone whom they had ever met. She was a unique person who had positive affect on everyone she met.
