Three Members Of Definitive VIXEN Lineup To Honor Late Founder / Guitarist Jan Kuehnemund; Monsters Of Rock Cruise First Show Confirmed
December 3, 2013, 10 years ago
Singer Janet Gardner, drummer Roxy Petrucci and bassist Share Ross (Pedersen) announce they are honoring their friend and band mate, guitarist and founder of VIXEN, Jan Kuehnemund by performing as Vixen in 2014.
The band was committed to reunite in 2012 but Kuehnemund's cancer diagnosis caused what was thought of at the time as a delay. Sadly however after a fierce battle Kuehnemund succumbed to her illness in October 2013, thus the reunion was not meant to be.
After discussing the idea with friends and family as well as lead vocalist from most recent lineup, Jenna Sanz-Agero, it was agreed that it was the right decision for the three surviving definitive members to carry on as Vixen.
Singer Janet Gardner commented, "We've been hearing the fans ask for this and while it will never be the same without Jan, we believe in our hearts it's what she would have wanted."
Hits like 'Edge of a Broken Heart', 'Cryin'', 'How Much Love' and 'Love Is A Killer' helped establish the group as one of premiere rock acts of their genre and the only all-female platinum selling 80’s rock act ever. Joining forces with their JSRG bandmate, guitarist Gina Stile, Vixen will be performing at select festivals and showcase dates in 2014.
The first official Vixen performances will take place on the Monsters of Rock Cruise departing from Miami, FL on March 29th. Stay tuned for updates.
