[edit] 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] and used "Don't Give A Damn" as the theme song to his then upcoming series Bam's Unholy Union in which the band themselves featured in 2 episodes
Lit Up/Let Down the band's debut full-length album was released in stores on October 24 2006.
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, touring the U.S.A as a support act and then going on to feature in the Viva La Bands Tour along with Cradle of Filth, Gwar and CKY in the fall of 2007.
The bands latest release "Enemy In Me" is a track featured on the album Viva la Bands, Volume 2 and is also on the bands Myspace[4]
