Simply Jane has attracted a strong fan base this year following the release of their debut album, "Greatest Hits". Several singles off this album are being played by rock radio stations across the west.

"The definition for 'simply' is absolute, pure, and unadulterated, and that's our music," says the band's lead vocalist,Jana Davis.

Adds Shawn Day, who plays bass: "Simply jane is obviously rock'n'roll, yet very intimate. When the listener and the player meet in the middle, that's really when our music starts to grow."

"We're a bunch of misfits," Davis says with a laugh.

"There aren't a lot of female role models in rock'n'roll, which has always bothered me. Everytime you try a new step you are cubed into a mold...that a female singer should behave and sing a certain way. You're never one of the 'boys'," Davis says. "But I have always been a tomboy,and when it's to perform it's time to expose yourself completely. There is no pretentiousness. You take the armor off. When Janis Joplin performed, she performed like a rock star, not a lady,"she continues.

"I love being feminine and I love sexy, but also part of the package is going crazy, having the guts to 'jump off' and have fun... I think it comes out in the music."
