Former Maiden joins Blue Man Group

[Melisan]

From Blabbermouth:

Guitarist Jojo Draven has joined the cast of Blue Man Group — a unique theatrical performance of music, comedy and multimedia — in Las Vegas as one of its guitarists. She will take part in her first show in October 2011.

Blue Man Group Las Vegas also enlists another notable rocker — drummer Blas Elias (SLAUGHTER).

Draven was the guitarist for the '90s all-female band PHANTOM BLUE and the founding member of THE IRON MAIDENS, the all-female tribute to IRON MAIDEN, which she left in 2005 to pursue TV and film scoring.

That's cool. I always wondered what happened to her. Thanks for the post.

Gotta admit, I love the blueman cover of baba o riley. It kicks ass.

Hope it all works out for jojo.

That's very cool!! I always liked Jojo. Infact, it was her beautiful Ibanez that inspired me to get my own.

from Phantom Blue to Blue Man group! There's no escape!!! That's probably how she got the gig from being experienced in another blue group!

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

U silly, Danny!

Remember 4 Non Blondes? They once recruited someone from Concrete Blonde to be in their band! It all ties together!

Soooooo... by this logic, if, say, Janick quits Maiden, does this mean Court gets the spot?
