MySpace a place for friends

VAINS of JENNA formed in the small town of Falkenberg, SWEDEN in January 2005. Lead Vocalist Lizzy DeVine and bassist JP White had talked the previous summer about putting together a new band. Both had eyed a teenage guitarist named Nicki Kin as the final piece to the line-up along with his classmate drummer Jacki Stone.

During the spring of 2005, VAINS of JENNA was offered a chance to play the world-famous “Whisky-A-Go-Go” in Hollywood. They stunned the crowd with their raw energy, young bravado, and sleazy throwback appeal. Four days later, the band was cutting tracks with Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist) at his Redrum Studios.

In spring of 2006 VOJ toured Southern Europe and spent one month in the U.K. winning over critics and fans by night while playing gigs and sleeping in their silver Volvo station wagon in an alley by day.

The band was back in Hollywood in the summer of 2006 and attracted the attention of skateboarding legend Bam Margera (MTV’s Viva La Bam/Jackass) who signed the band on the spot to his label (Filthy Note Records) & released “Lit Up-Let Down” (October 2006)

A US club tour followed with Fireball Ministry, another with Ex. Murderdolls front man Wednesday 13 and an appearance at SxSw in the spring of 2007 turned more industry heads. Then a 55 date US summer tour supporting Poison & Ratt on the main stage of amphitheatres coast to coast. Home for less than 3 weeks the band was back playing Theatres on the “Viva La Bands” fall 2007 US tour with Cradle of Filth and G.W.A.R. This in support of their new single “Enemy in Me” which was featured on the “Viva La Bands – II” soundtrack released that fall (Ferret Music).

After playing over 250 shows the band spent 2008 writing and recording new music in Los Angeles, played select dates, and appeared on “Jackass 24” (MTV) & “LA INK” (Kat Von D). The bands track “Enemy in Me” single was featured on both.

Early 2009 the band returned to Europe and played sold out shows in SWEDEN, ITALY, DEMANRK and ENGLAND including the SWEDEN ROCK festival.

Summer 2009 the band is back in the US and about to release their follow up self titled VAINS of JENNA CD and make more believers that Rock N’ Roll is VERY much alive!

Stay tuned…
