Vixen (1988).......2006-03-26

In 1988, during the height of the 80's hairmetal trend, along came the all woman band "Vixen." There weren't a lot of female hairbands, so Vixen is really the only one that comes to mind. This, their debut album houses their best known song "Edge of a Broken Heart." Probably their best song! The album as a whole is listenable, but nothing is as strong as the single Edge of a Broken Heart, and the song Crying. If you enjoy this type of music give Vixen a try.

EVERYTHING'S WORKIN' OUT RIGHT.......2006-01-23

When this album came out, we were in another dimension and another times. All the bands were trying to have a good time and trying that you have a good time too. So is no wonder that there were much more rock fans than today.

The first time I knew about VIXEN was in a CIRCUS magazine (which I still have) specifically in the back cover of it. Then I bought the tape and saw the video on MTV. Even when I haven't heard them I knew that they couldn't be that bad (at least you have the looks!!!!!!!!).

To my surprise this is a very good album, very enjoyable and very catchy. It's repetitive to keep saying that the glam metal, hair metal, soft rock, hard rock, 80's, soft metal and we can go on & on & on & on (yes, like RAVEN). I don't know if this fits in any style but it's good. It's pretty much the same music you kept hearing at the end of the eighties. I mean, WHITESNAKE, WHITE LION, KISS, DEF LEPPARD, ETC.

The three singles did a decent job on the lists (for a first album was great) "Edge Of A Broken Heart", "Cryin", "Love Made Me". The rest of the songs are quite surprising too. My personal favorite is "Desperate" which combines a great slow acoustic intro with a great deep rock at the middle and in the end of the song.

The girls are quite hot, very good looking (specially Janet Gardner). Janet is a very good singer and Jan Kuehnemund is almost as good guitarist as Lita. Roxy Petrucci, the drummer started her career with a band called MADAM X which is were Sebastian Bach from SKID ROW came from. Ironically, SKID ROW was very hot at the same time. ENOUGH TRIVIA!!!

If your are into this kind of music, this is a winner. Maybe a little pop, but definitely a winner.

Highlight: Edge of A Broken Heart, Desperate, Love Made Me.
Lowlight: MHMHMHMHM, I don't know....................Have to think a little bit longer this one.

these girls ROCK!.......2005-09-13

Vixen is an awesome grrl rock band from the late 80's. standout tracks on this s/t debut are "Edge Of A Broken Heart" and "Cryin'". this CD is triumphant. no metal collection should be without these grrls. for other hard rockin grrls that are show AND go, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Lita Ford are leaders of the pack. for more pop metal, listen to Winger, Motley Crue, Danger Danger, Steelheart, Poison, Warrant, etc

Jan Kuehnemund's NEW band!!!.......2005-07-06

I just found out that Jan Kuehnemund has a new all-girl band, Drawing Down the Moon!!! Their debut CD, "Angel In My Dream," came out a few months ago and it is AWESOME!

Even though it has a pagan-inspired band name, it isn't celtic rock, but more female-enpowerment rock. There's as much diversity as Jan's band Vixen offered, with guitar-driven pop and some introspective bluesy ballads. There's a coupla lead singers, just like in Vixen, and Jan's guitar playing and vocals are as superb as they ever were!!!

It's so cool to see her reinvent herself in the new millineum with a nod to the classic-rock sound. I just don't understand why there's so little publicity surrounding "Angel's" release! You can buy it on Amazon though, and I guess that's gonna have to be good enough for now.

Good Job Jan!!!

4.5 stars - An excellent album.......2004-12-14

Vixen (1988.) Vixen's first album.

The eighties American hair/glam metal movement produced tons of excellent metal bands, most of which featured guys that for, some unknowing reason, were trying their best to look like women. Why that may be we'll never know. What many people don't know is that in addition to guys who looked like girls being a part of this movement, there actually WERE some female artists in the genre in this era. Vixen, for example, was an all-female pop-metal group that made it fairly big in the latter half of the eighties. Read on for my review of the group's first album.

I really had my doubts that an all-female group would be able to produce high-quality hard rock, but upon listening to Vixen, I quickly grew to hate myself for even thinking that. These girls can rock - and there's no doubt about it. This album, from start to finish, is every bit as solid as anything that any all-male band from the glam metal movement could have shelled out. It really makes you wonder why more female artists didn't try their hand at glam metal! And the girls of Vixen don't just serve up the bare minimum on this album - there's plenty of diversity in the tracks offered. From straight-up hard rockers to the power ballads that every glam metal act was obligated to have in the decade of decadence, there's no limits to what the band gave audiences on this album. No fan of eighties metal should overlook Vixen.

This is a good album, but sadly, Vixen was just never a really popular band in general, and accordingly, their catalogue (small as it may be) is tough to come by. More likely than not you'll either have to go to a music superstore or order the band's albums. But DO get them - you won't regret it if you like this kind of music.

Whoever says women can't do hard rock has never bothered listening to Vixen. These girls can rock, and they don't fail to please. If only they'd gotten more popularity over the years... they're every bit as good as all-male glam groups like Poison and Ratt. Don't hesitate to purchase Vixen's (first two) albums if you like glam metal.
