Glam Rockers Vains of Jenna formed in the small town of Falkenberg, Sweden in January 2005. After posting their debut demo on the Internet, they landed an offer to play the world-famous "Whisky-A-Go-Go" in Hollywood in July 2005. They stunned the crowd with their raw energy, young bravado, and sleazy throwback appeal. At the time half the members were a month out of high school. Four days later, they were cutting a demo with Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses) at Redrum Studios.
The band was soon back in Hollywood in the summer of 2006 and attracted the attention of Bam Margera (MTV's Viva La Bam/Jackass) who signed the band on the spot. Their debut full length was titled 'Lit Up-Let Down' and hit stores on Filthy Note Records in October 2006. A half dozen US tours followed; most notably a 55 date amphitheatre tour supporting Poison & Ratt. Others included the "Viva La Bands - II" theatre tour (GWAR/Cradle of Filth) and a US club run with Wednesday 13 (Murderdolls).
The guys spent most of 2008 writing and recording but made TV appearances on "Jackass 24" (MTV) & "LA INK" (Kat Von D). The bands track "Enemy in Me" (Viva La Bands-2 Soundtrack/Ferret Music) was featured on both. In the fall of 2009 they released "The Art of Telling Lies" to rave 5 star reviews and did another 50+ date US club tour.
March 2010 the band evolved with a shocking yet welcome change! The band introduced Jesse Forte as their new lead singer & front man.
The group wasted no time and flew to Europe in April 2010 to embark on a 40 date European tour. Fans were elated at the bands vigour as they played in Germany, France, Switzerland, Norway and Czech Republic for the first time. They also returned to familiar places like Denmark, toured the UK & Sweden. While in Europe they shot a video for their single 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead'.
It's 2011 and the band has finished 'Reverse Tripped' for Deadline/E1 Records. The 14 song special edition release includes the hit single 'F**k You' (Clean: 'Forget You') with accompanying videos. The song made famous by Cee Lo Green has become a pop rock hit for the band in mere week's time.
