JANE   JENSEN


Feb 28, 1997

Jacksonville Fl, I walk into The Milk Bar, its my first time there. Its nice, dark but nice. Oh shit im glowing, thats what i get for wearing white to a club. Damn i hate waiting. We all get free posters, Erin makes a deal with the bouncer and he runs them out to the car. No, I really mean run that was the deal, kid ran to the car. Sit around and watch all the fine girls walking about, some glowing some not. Waiting doesnt seem bad any more. Shite im with Erica and David waiting once again sucks. Though i do get some eye candy. Whats this? People moving on stage. All four of us go towards stage. Me and Erin in front, we appreciate Jane, thats why were here, they just want to see a concert. Jane finally comes out and plays. She rocks. Me and Erin go and sit outside and wait for Jane, Erica and David are forced to come(my good pal Erin drove). We are there for about an hour when people start getting mad cause they cant get in. They over-sold. All the older preppy people who want to go see a show cant get in to see Better Than Ezra, Boo Hoo. Where is Jane? I hate waiting. They talk about when the saw Tori, i hate them. Erin tells funny story about how "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by The Smashing Pumpkins was ruined for him, funny story but i still hate waiting. More preps who cant get in. No one glows out here. Erica exerts herself and talks to Jane's manager, she'll be out later and will sign our posters. Posters? We send Dave to go get them. Guy runs funny. Still no jane. Oh apperently she already left, went to a club with a friend. Poor me, there is two hours of my life im never going to get back, but even if i did i'd having nothing to do with. We leave. Disapointed? Hell no! Jane kicked, i'll go see her again and maybe someday i'll meet her. But take it from me there's no better Comic Book Whore in the world!

Jane Jensen's sweet sounds from way out.

"The people who come backstage at our shows are the ones who are excited about this kind of mix of electronic music and guitar," says singer/electro-vixen Jane Jensen. "But we also get a lot of little girls who have crushes on their friends and want advice.

" It's a good example of Jensen's own dual persona. On one hand, her debut album, Comic Book Whore, is a sort of missing link to future sounds, deep with drum machines, fuzzy guitars, and altered-state vocals. On the other hand, Jane's malevolent-little-girl-lost singing style and occasional lapses into pop cuteness present her as a high-school cheerleader gone industrial. "Luv Song," for instance, is joyously disjointed, a combination of a drum loop rhumba and girlish howls, while the infectious chorus of "king" is so sweet it can't be sung by a man who values his testosterone. "If i had a motto, it would be'all for immaturity,'" Jensen asserts.

A native of Indianapolis, Jensen moved to Chicargo around college time because she heard the music scene was good; she went to school by day and studued with disco industrial heads Die Warzau by night. "Our band, Oxygiene 23, was based on mythological themes and sounded very melancholy," she recalls. "I wanted to get away from that and write songs that were more groove- and humor-oriented." She got away from it quite literally when moved to New York, where she investigated a different road to rhythm by joining an Isadora Duncan dance group. There. she wrote many of the songs that would end up on Comic Book. "The neighborhood i lived in had great indian food, but not a lot else." she says. "So i got a lot done.

" While it would seem that Jensen's brand of groove theory could make her a pinup for the next sound wave, Jensen can't see it happening. "Aww. they've been saying that the electronic thing will be big for ten years now, and it never happens," Jensen demurs. "It means more when people just shout 'You rock!' and leave it at that."
