VAINS OF JENNA Parts Ways With Singer, Seeks Replacement

March 16, 2010

Singer Lizzy DeVine has left the Swedish rock band VAINS OF JENNA. He says in a statement, "The last five years with this band have been the best years of my life. It's with a tear in my eye, but a whole lot of love and respect for the band, manager, endorsers and fans all over the world I announce that I'm no longer the lead singer/front man of VAINS OF JENNA.

"It's been a crazy ride. And I've loved every second of it. But now I must move on and let the band grow. I've done more with this band than I could ever have dreamed of but now it's time for new adventures!

"I love all of you."

VAINS OF JENNA — comprised of lead guitarist and main songwriter Nicki Kin (age 23),bassist JP White (26) and drummer Jacki Stone (23) — embraces this change with the following statement: "We have always been a family and have supported each other through the good times and the bad. Today we support and respect Lizzy's choice. We wish him all the best in the future and we part ways as friends.

"To our fans and friends everywhere, we are as shocked at this development as the rest of you. But we are real committed to our music and will go forward.

"We have been honored by all of your support over the years and cannot express enough our regrets to bring this news. But this is reality and we accept the challenge."

VAINS OF JENNA formed in 2005 in Falkenberg, Sweden. The band has been featured internationally on TV and radio, appeared in hundreds of print articles and performed over 400 shows in a dozen countries.

VAINS OF JENNA was originally signed by MTV star Bam Margera ("Jackass", "Viva La Bam") to Filthy Note/Universal in 2006. This was followed by major tours of North America tours with POISON, RATT and GWAR in 2007. The band returned to Europe in 2008 and toured Italy, England and Sweden, which included an appearance at the Sweden Rock Festival. In the summer of 2009, the band was back in Los Angeles to release "The Art of Telling Lies" (RLS/Raw Noize) which received five-star reviews around the globe.

"We are seeking a young, hungry, aggressive, dedicated, fresh face and voice to front our band. Someone who is one of us," the band states.

"If you think you're the guy for the job — then step to the plate now."
