Really really *sad*
Vixen guitarist Jan Kuehnemund has lost
her cancer battle at the age of 51. The girl
group founder and lead guitarist passed
away on Thursday (10Oct13), according to
reports. The Minnesota native formed
Vixen in high school and moved the band
to Los Angeles in the mid-1980s, later
signing to EMI and releasing a self-titled
debut album in 1988. Vixen also hit the
singles charts with Cryin' and Edge of a
Broken Heart, and the bandmates
appeared in director Penelope Spheeris'
film The Decline of Western Civilization II:
The Metal Years. Regulars on MTV, the
group followed up their debut album with
Rev It Up in 1990. Kuehnemund briefly
reunited the band's classic line-up for
VH1's Bands Reunited in 2004.
