ʻO nā wahine huhū a i ʻole nā mea ʻoki paha - ʻo ia paha ka mea hiki iā ʻoe ke unuhi i ka inoa o kēia pūʻulu e pāʻani ana i ke ʻano metala glam. Hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1980 e ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo June (Jan) Koenemund, ua hele lōʻihi ʻo Vixen i ka kaulana a ua hana ka honua holoʻokoʻa e kamaʻilio e pili ana iā lākou iho.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka ʻoihana mele a Vixen
I ka manawa i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka hui, ma kona mokuʻāina ʻo Minnesota, ua lilo ʻo Iune i mea hoʻokani pila kaulana i nā pōʻai mele. Ua hiki iā ia ke pāʻani ma kekahi mau hui. I ka makahiki 1971, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Koenemund he ʻumikūmāwalu makahiki i kāna quintet wahine ponoʻī, kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo Lemon Pepper.
Ua pāʻani maikaʻi ka hui ma ko lākou kūlanakauhale ʻo São Paulo, akā ma hope o ʻekolu mau makahiki, ua haʻalele ka hui i lilo i glam metal band Vixen ma 1980. Kaʻahele mua nā kaikamāhine ma ko lākou mokuʻāina, a laila ma ʻAmelika. I ka makahiki 1984, komo lākou i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni - i ka comedy "Strong Bodies", kahi i kani ai nā leo kani 6 e kahi hui rocker wahine.
ʻAʻole i loaʻa iā Vixen kahi laina paʻa no ka manawa lōʻihi. Ua hoʻololi a hoʻololi a hoʻololi nā lālā, a hiki i ka hala ʻana o 6 mau makahiki i loaʻa i ka hui kahi kumu paʻa.
Janet Gardner - rhythm guitar a me nā leo, Shar Pedersen - bass guitar, Roxy Petrucci - pahu a me June Kuhnemund ma ke 'ano o ka hui Vixen i ho'omaka e lanakila i ka Olympus mele.
Kaulana Vixen
Ua hiki mai ka kaulana no ka hui kaikamahine e pāʻani ana i ka pōhaku paʻakikī i ka makahiki 1987, ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni The Fall of Western Civilization: The Metal Years. Ua hoʻomaka lākou e ʻike ʻia ma nā alanui. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu nā kaikamahine i kā lākou album mua "Vixen", i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i ka parade hit ʻAmelika, ma ka TOP 50.
Ua kākau ʻia nā mele e ka haku mele a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Irish ʻo Vivian Patrick Campbell a me ka mea mele, ka mea haku mele a me ka mea hoʻopuka kūleʻa ʻo Richard Marx. He hopena nui ko lākou kākoʻo i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā kaikamahine. Ke kūʻai aku nei ka album e like me nā keke wela. Hoʻomaka ka hui i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ke ʻano he wehe no kekahi o nā hana kaulana a kaulana loa a pupule: ka mea weliweli. Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi, Nā Scorpions, a he nui ka poʻe nānā i kahaha i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana he hiki nō i ka pōhaku wahine ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe.
I kēia manawa, hoʻomaka ka hui e hoʻomākaukau no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kahi album hou, kokoke i nā mele a ka mea kākau. I ka makahiki 1990, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album lua o ka hui, ʻo Rev It Up. Akā ʻaʻole ia e lawe mai i ka kūleʻa pāʻoihana e like me ka mea mua. Akā ʻoi aku ka kaulana ma mua o ka US. Ma ʻEulopa, ʻoi aku ka lanakila o Vixen ma mua o ka home. ʻO nā kaikamāhine e pāʻani ana i ka glam metal he mea maʻamau a nani loa no kahi luahine conservative ma ʻEulopa.
Me ka moʻolelo Kiss a me Deep Purple, hele nā kaikamāhine i kahi huakaʻi, akā ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻole o ka hopena kālā i makemake ʻia, ua haki ka hui. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hiki ke komo i kahi hōʻike televise ma ke kahawai MTV a pana i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni 40 mau minuke. Akā,ʻaʻole i kūpono nā kū'ē kālā a me nā mele me ka noʻonoʻo, a ua hoʻomaka kēlā me kēia kaikamahine e mālama i nā hana pilikino a me kā lākou mau papahana pono'ī.
Ka lua makani o ka hui
Ua loaʻa iā Vixen ka makani lua i ka makahiki 1997. Akā ʻo Janet Garden a me Roxy Petrucci, ka mea hoʻokani pahu, i noho i ka hui mai ka laina nui. Lawe lākou i ʻelua mau mea hou i kā lākou hui: Ginny Style a me Maxine Petrucci (nā pāʻani mele a me nā bass). I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, i ka makahiki 98, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kā lākou album "Tangerine", i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka studio recording Eagle Records. Akā,ʻaʻole i hoʻopiʻi ka pōhaku me ka paʻi o ka grunge i nā mea aloha mele,ʻaʻole i holomua, a ua haʻihaʻi hou ka hui.
Ua hui hou ʻia kekahi i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki ʻaʻohe o kēia kenekulia. Ua hoʻi nā lālā o ka hōkū i ka hui: June, Janet, Roxy a me Pat Helloway hou. Hele ʻo Vixen i ka huakaʻi, ua ʻōwili maikaʻi ʻia lākou. Lilo hou na kue kuloko i mea hina a keakea i ka hana hui.
Haʻalele ka hui no ke kolu o ka manawa. Noho ka mea hana i ka hui, ʻo June Kuhnemund, nāna i hoʻopau hou i ka haku mele, e ninini hou i ke koko hou i loko. Ma 2006, ua hoʻopaʻa a hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ʻelua album: studio a me ke ola. Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hana hou i ka kūleʻa o nā mele mua loa. Mai ia manawa mai, ke alakaʻi nei ka hui i nā hana ʻaha mele lohi a aia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka wāwahi.
June Koenemund
Ke ho'āʻo nei ka June restless e hana hou i ka holomua, hoʻolālā lākou e hoʻopaʻa i kahi album hou me nā mea komo, a ʻae i nā hana huakaʻi. Akā, ua pau nā hoʻolālā hoʻolālā a pau ke ʻike ʻia ke alakaʻi o ka hui i ka maʻi kanesa. 10 mahina o ka hakakā ʻana i ka maʻi kanesa ʻaʻole i lawe mai i ka hopena i makemake ʻia.
ʻO ka haʻahaʻa, koʻikoʻi, wahine a me ke akamai, e hui pū ana i ka lokomaikaʻi wahine a me ka ikaika ikaika, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke lanakila i ka maʻi a hele i ka lani i ʻOkakopa 2013. He pāʻani kēia no ka poʻe pā, akā no nā lālā o ka hui. Ua kali nā kānaka a pau i ka hoʻi ʻana mai o Iune.
Nui nā manaʻolana a me nā hoʻolālā i mua, no ka mea, ua hoʻopau ʻia nā kūʻē a pau i wāwahi ʻia e ka hui. Akā naʻe, pōʻino, ua eo ʻo Iune i kēia kaua. He 51 wale nō ona makahiki. A ua hoʻopau kēia hanana i ka noho ʻana o ka hui. ʻO Iune kona ʻuhane.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki i ka Vixen ke hana hou i ka kūleʻa o kā lākou album mua loa, noho mau lākou i kahi hui punahele no nā mea he nui. ʻO nā kaikamāhine maikaʻi mai nā makahiki 80, e pāʻani ana i ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe, wahine, mālie, pōhaku kaumaha.
