JENNIE VEE:

Bassist, Guitarist, Songwriter

Jennie Vee is a songwriter, guitarist and bassist from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

She played bass for Courtney Love on Lana Del Rey’s Endless Summer Tour and has been a member of EAGLES OF DEATH METAL since 2017.

Vee grew up listening to The Cure, New Order and Jesus & Mary Chain and taught herself bass. She boldly left high school in her last year & relocated to Southsea, England, where she recorded her first demo with her musical mentor Jim Shaw from the band Cranes. She returned to Canada to form a band, Tuuli, who released an EP on Sympathy for the Record Industry, an LP on Linus/Warner Canada. She led Tuuli as the house band on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” and her songs were heavily featured on Degrassi: The Next Generation.

She released her debut solo EP Die Alone in 2014 and was subsequently discovered by Love who recruited her to play bass for the Endless Summer tour with Lana Del Rey. Her first full-length album, Spying, featuring mixes by Chris Lord Alge and Snow Patrol’s Paul Wilson was released the following year. In 2016, she released another EP, Suffer, featuring artwork by celebrated photographer Nedda Afsari.

She has appeared with the 5G Band on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Myers”. Vee also tours as the bass player for legendary Stray Cats’ drummer Slim Jim Phantom’s Rockabilly Trio.

She has described herself as a "recovering goth", and she has cited The Cure’s Simon Gallup as her biggest influence on her bass playing, adding "I love adding a texture ... rather than sticking with the root note." She brings this sensibility and style to every line-up.

She has been a FENDER Artist since 2001.

She released her signature eyewear frame with Australia’s VALLEY EYEWEAR in late 2019.

In early 2020 she released the initial pieces of her first capsule clothing collection Jennie Vee Los Angeles.

She currently lives in Los Angeles, CA and is a member of EAGLES OF DEATH METAL.
