Vixen
The only 1980s hair metal crew who could truly be forgiven for
all that blow-drying! Vixen were briefly the female alternative to
Bon Jovi.
Founded by guitarist Jan Kuehnemund, their eponymous 1988 debut
album was a million-seller. A glam mainstay, the band supported
the likes of KISS, Aerosmith and The Scorpions but their follow-up
album, Rev It Up, failed to ignite, their manager fell-out
with EMI, and with big hair rapidly deflating the band split up in
1991.
Gardner, Petrucci and Kuehnemund staged a brief Vixen reunion
in 2000, as have various other combinations of the group from time
to time. Jan, Share and Roxy continue to be involved in the music
business. Janet Gardner gave it all away for a happy married life.
