Vains of Jenna
In early 2005, JP moved back to Falkenberg, after having lived in Norway for a while. Upon his return he met up with old friend Lizzy DeVine; they formed a band with JP's brother Jacki and Jacki's friend Nicki Kin. The name Vains of Jenna, came from when JP saw a list of band names on a piece of paper after having been out partying; Vains of Jenna was the first name on the list and he thought it looked cool.
After posting a demo of one of their songs online, Vains of Jenna were asked to come perform at the Whiskey A Go Go in West Hollywood, California. The entire band soon relocated to Los Angeles. In 2006, the band met professional skateboarder and MTV personality Bam Margera. Bam liked Vains of Jenna so much that he created a record label, Filthy Note Records just so he could sign them. The band later went on to open up for the 2007 Poison/Ratt tour, they also played the Bam Margera Presents Viva La Bands tour along with CKY, Gwar, and Cradle Of Filth.
The band gained a cult following, partially because of their 1980's glam metal look. In 2010 Lizzy Devine left the band, and was replaced with Jesse Forte. The band abandon their original sleaze/glam metal theme, which angered some of their fans. In January 2012 after two years of Jesse as the lead singer, the band decided to call it quits.
