BIOGRAPHY:

She was raised in southern California, where she met Belinda Carlisle. They later joined up with three other girls to form the 80's rock band The Go-Go's. Jane played rhythm guitar and wrote many of its hit songs. She made a few movies in the 1980's. Her current band ,froSTed, will be coming out with their first CD in late 1996. The reason the "ST" in froSTed is capitalized is because Jane is a big Star Trek fan, and as a result she starred in the fourth Star Trek movie.

After she left the Go-Gos in the mid 80s, Jane scored a solo hit with the song "Blue Kiss".
Before becoming a member of the Go-Go's, Jane went by the name, Jane Drano, in a punk band in California. Later, while still a member of the Go-Go's, she also was featured with the cult band, Sparks. Studied fashion in the Los Angeles Trade-Technical School.
