Jack Off Jill are an American rock band from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, founded in 1992 by singer Jessicka Addams (née Jessica Fodera), Tenni Ah-Cha-Cha (née Tenni Arslanyan), Agent Moulder (née Robin Moulder), and Michelle Inhell (née Michelle Oliver). Though these four young women were the initial founders, twelve members rotated through the group in its lifespan, including Scott Putesky, guitarist and co-founder of Marilyn Manson. The band lasted eight years, with only Moulder and Jessicka remaining through all its lineups. In April 2015, they announced that they will be reuniting for one show. In an April 2015 interview with LadyGunn Magazine Jessicka stated a new album is "not something that we have decided on either way". ==History== Tenni Arslanyan met Jessicka while attending Piper High School in Sunrise, Florida. They had begun writing songs, but had not yet formed a band when Moulder and Inhell joined them to create the band that would become Jack Off Jill. Jack Off Jill's first show was opening for fellow Floridian and long time friend Marilyn Manson and his shock-rock outfit, Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, at a Davie, Florida night club called The Plus Five Lounge. Manson went on to take the band under his wing. He mentored them, produced their early demos and had them open most of his shows. During this time the band served as the opening act for many female fronted national acts such as Joan Jett, L7, Silverfish, Tribe 8, Fetchin' Bones and the Lunachicks. Singer Jessicka's on-stage antics included stripping young men on stage while the band and crowd taunted the exposed fans, as well as covering the audience with spit and real blood and candy.〔Pelletier, George.("Paying The Rant" ) Miami New Times feature, November 27, 1997.〕 In early 1993, Jessicka performed with Manson's ephemeral side project, Mrs. Scabtree. On December 27, 1994, Jack Off Jill joined Marilyn Manson on dates through Florida. While playing Club 5 in Jacksonville, Florida, Manson was arrested for violating the town's adult entertainment codes by removing his pants and exposing himself, although witnesses at the show never actually spoke about seeing his penis. Jessicka was arrested for solicitation of a minor and offering to engage in lewdness with two minors. Both singers were charged with misdemeanors.〔Baker, Greg. () Miami New Times, January 05, 1995.〕 Jack Off Jill released several independent records: ''Children 5 and Up'' (produced by Marilyn Manson),〔 ''The Boygrinder Sessions'', ''Cannibal Song Book'', (produced by JOJ and Manson at Studio 13 in Deerfield Beach, Florida)〔 ''Cockroach Waltz'', and several 7" singles. It was not until April 8, 1994, when JOJ played a benefit show for Rock Against Domestic Violence with Babes in Toyland and 7 Year Bitch at the Cameo Theatre on Miami Beach that Jack Off Jill caught the eye of record labels. Los Angeles-based Risk Records later signed them in January 1997. The band replaced both Ah Cha Cha and Inhell with new members because the two were not ready to leave Florida. The band released their first national 7" ''"Girl Scout"/"American Made"'' in March 1997. On September 9, 1997, their first full-length ''Sexless Demons And Scars'' (produced by Gumball's leader Don Fleming, who co-produced Hole's ''Pretty on the Inside'') was released. After moderate underground success, touring with Lords of Acid, and playing to sold-out crowds in 1997 , Jack Off Jill headed to Los Angeles in order to complete 1998's ''Covetous Creature'', a remix EP of songs from ''Sexless Demons and Scars'' with the help of SMP (Scott Putesky), a founding member of Marilyn Manson and new drummer Claudia Rossi. The new manifestation of Jack Off Jill hit the road on a national tour with Psychotica, joined along the way by Switchblade Symphony. The band road-tested new songs in March 1999 when JOJ played four dates on the Marilyn Manson Rock Is Dead Tour after Hole departed.〔''MTV.com'': "(/ MTV news March 22, 1999 )". URL accessed June 18, 2007.〕 With Putesky no longer in the guitar position, JOJ enlisted the help of Jessicka's then-boyfriend guitarist Clint Walsh, original JOJ guitarist Michelle Inhell (née Oliver), and drummer Norm Block (formerly of Plexi) for the tour. On July 17, 2000, JOJ released their second full-length CD, ''Clear Hearts Grey Flowers'' on Risk Records, that featured a cover by artist Mark Ryden and was produced by Chris Vrenna of Tweaker and Nine Inch Nails. Jack Off Jill played its last show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles in April 2000. They were joined onstage by guitarist Helen Storer of the UK all-girl band Fluffy (and later of Thee Heavenly Music Association) and producer Chris Vrenna on drums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Off Jill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
