SWEDISH ROCKERS VAINS OF JENNA SUPPORT POISON:
June 11, 2007
HOLLYWOOD, CA – Who said Internet rumors always prove to be false? ParisHilton is spending her summer vacation in jail while her good friend LindseyLohan finishes up her second stint in rehab and, yes, Swedish rockers VAINSOF JENNA are also foregoing the glitz and glamour of their adopted home ofHollywood to support POISON and RATT on a summer-long amphitheater tour.
“Rock n’ Roll is back when VAINS OF JENNA takes the stage. Seeing isbelieving, and I believe!” Bobby Dall / Poison Bassist
After weeks of online speculation as to who exactly would be the support actfor Poison’s annual cross-country trek it was announced today that VAINS OFJENNA have in fact been added to 45 shows beginning Sun., June 17 inCharlotte, NC and concluding Sat., September 1 in West Palm Beach, FL.
“This is what the American dream is all about,” said frontman Lizzy DeVine.
Since arriving stateside 13 months ago the members of VAINS OF JENNA – NickiKin (guitar), JP White (bass), Jacki Stone (drums) and Lizzy – have alreadyplayed upwards of 200 shows and logged nearly 45,000 miles in a van all ontheir own-without the help of any road crew.
Barely two years removed from high school and finding their way around aforeign country they also happened to find a loyal supporter and friend inMTV pop culture icon BAM MARGERA (VIVA LA BAM, JACKASS), who immediatelyformed his own record company – FILTHY NOTE – in order to offer the thenteenagers a record deal.
“These guys were so damn good when I first saw them that I decided rightthere on the spot to start my own record company,” said BAM, of hiseagerness to work the band. “They’re that good.”
Their debut LIT UP/LET DOWN was released last October along with their firstvideo/single NOONE’S GONNA DO IT FOR YOU (directed by BAM). Album trackDON’T GIVE A DAMN was also used as the theme song for the MTV series BAM’SUNHOLY UNION, a series in which they also made an appearance when theyperformed at BAM’S bachelor party in Las Vegas.
“We love to play the dumps and dives that reek of day old beer and stalecigarettes, but can’t wait to experience thousands of rock n’ roll fans onthese big stages.” Adds Bassist JP White
This summer VAINS OF JENNA will hit up radio with their second single HARDTO BE VAIN.
