Vains of Jenna are a Sleaze Rock band formed in Falkenberg, Sweden during January of 2005. They have since relocated to Los Angeles, California.
History
Vains of Jenna was formed by four young Swedes,after two rival bands who shared common interests through an admiration of Mötley Crüe, Guns N' Roses, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Hanoi Rocks and other rock n' roll bands broke up and the remaining members joined forces to create the band. At the time the youngest member of the band was only 18 years old. Together the group self-produced several demos including a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" which they released via their website for free download.
A four track E.P. would soon follow, titled "Baby's Got A Secret", which would capture the attention of Stevie Rachelle the owner of popular hard rock website Metal Sludge. Stevie Rachelle became the band's manager, and after touring the United Kingdom the group relocated to California, United States. Vains of Jenna played their first US gig at the famous Whiskey A Go Go club in Hollywood.
The band then recorded some demos, which were produced by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke[1]. A tour of the East Coast of America followed in July 2006. The East Coast tour was cut short as Bam Margera of the show Jackass signed the band to his "Filthy Note Records" record label[2]. Margera invited the band to his mansion to shoot a video for the song "Noone's Gonna Do It For You", which Margera produced himself.[3]
"Lit Up / Let Down" the band's debut full-length album was released in stores on October 24 2006.
"Don't Give A Damn" from the album Lit Up / Let Down is currently the theme song for Bam Margeras new MTV series "Unholy Union"
The band has stated that there is too much "emo music" in the USA, and that their music is here to make you want to drink and party.
In an interview with Classic Rock magazine vocalist Lizzy DeVine said that is favorite album of all time is Too Fast for Love by Mötley Crüe
Since the band White Lion had to drop out of the Poison and Ratt summer 2007 tour, Vains Of Jenna filled in White Lion's spot on the tour.
"Enemy In Me" is a track featured on the album "Viva La Bands" Vol.2
