Porny Punkers

Rockers and adult entertainers have long shared a mutual appreciation of one another’s work, but August 2007 Pet Jana Jordan has taken it a step further, joining a band herself, along with Penthouse model Jayme Langford. Pajamaband, an all-girl group, is fronted by Jayme, with Jana keeping the beat on the drum kit. “I’ve been playing on and off since I was 14,” Jana says. “I think watching Animal from The Muppet Show go crazy on the drums is why I wanted to play. Before joining Pajamaband, though, I’d only jammed with friends—and I once played naked on The Howard Stern Show.”
Jana joined Pajamaband two years ago, after moving to Los Angeles, and lately the group’s been gigging around the city, playing three to four shows a month. The ladies play a mix of covers—mostly by eighties bands, especially G. G. Allin or the Misfits—and original tunes. “We’re punk rock with a girlie twist,” Jana says. “For our own stuff, Jayme writes the lyrics. I can’t write for shit. If they let me do it, all the songs would be about rainbows, Hello Kitty, and Barbie. When Jayme’s done, she and our guitar player, Monica Barcicki, write the guitar part together, figuring out what works. Then they play the song for me, and I come up with the drum beat.”
Jana continues, “Being onstage is a lot of fun for me. I like watching the crowd get into the music and get excited when Jayme and I get wild and naked. And we get naked a lot! I wreck my drums a lot, too. We really have fun with the crowd.”
Over the past few months, the band has performed at the Key Club and the Viper Room, and they provided the musical entertainment at the premiere party for the Ramzi Abed documentary The New Erotic. “This has been a great year for the band,” Jana says. “Hopefully a full-length album will be our next big project.”
