Formed during the late spring of 2002, this foursome
has been banging out its’ own flavor of straight-at-ya modern rock that has been
enthusiastically received by audiences from 15 to 40 throughout the Midwest. As quoted by the Emergenza Festival, “Paisty
Jenny delivers arena rock with a modern rock edge.”
Primary songwriter Gregg Lee’s vocals contain a
very unique and marketable timbre without being over-produced. He punches out a clean yet
emotional growl, and a sometimes factious look at life. Paisty Jenny’s (PJ) debut EP
“DETOURS” was released September 2004 and SOLD OUT astonishly fast.
Their next release was a full-length disc titled
"DETOURS-RED". It completed the package with 3 additional tracks and two videos.
One track, "Monday Monday" was produced at the request of CBS television and
bangs out a salute to the Momas and Papas 1967 original. Plus the disc contains the crowd
anthem "Primadonna" while the video features the popular adult internet star
Melissa Midwest.
Paisty Jenny is preparing to release their third
work “Spilling Mercury” which will be a 14 song CD and their best effort to
date. The first single from the disc
“Cryin” is already getting air on local radio.
The Paisty show contains array of originals that
sweep the audience back and forth through an emotional frenzy. Lee is often seen leaping
on bar tables splashing sweat on the crowd, and from the arena size stages the foursome
captivates crowds with a larger-than-life expression.
According to Derric Miller at Hardrock Haven,
“Paisty Jenny is a band we firmly believe needs to be heard. Gaining a reputation and being flirted with by
various record labels, Paisty Jenny is a stage machine. Lead singer and guitarist Gregg
Lee is the consummate showman, almost like he walked off the Sunset Strip instead of
Huskerland.”
Paisty Jenny opens for numerous national acts at
concerts and festivals. Some national acts Paisty Jenny has shared the stage with include:
Bret Michaels; Brian Howe; Cinderella; Def Leppard; Firehouse; Foghat; Foreigner; Great
White; Jackyl; Kory and the Fireflies; LA Guns; Loverboy; Ratt; Skid Row; Slaughter;
Stephen Pearcy; Styx; Tesla; Vince Neil; and Warrant.
PJ
was selected among 300 regional bands to play the second to last slot on the main stage at
the Arrowhead Fan Fest, in Kansas City, MO in September of 2004 and a poll on the WB
Network website in Des Moines, IA voted Paisty Jenny as the favorite band at the
WATERSTOCK Rock Festival with 38% of the vote in 2004. Paisty Jenny also had the
opportunity to open the Rock Never Stops tour at Pershing Center in Lincoln, Nebraska on
June 14, 2005. |
