so, many of you may remember her from the movie "step mom" with susan sarandon. (it took me awhile to think of what she was in) and even in that she was pretty young.
well, she has a band now, jena malone and her blood stains and they are pretty fucking good. in comparison to many of her actress turned musician counterparts, zooey and scarlett. this is a review written by someone else, but i think that it puts things in clear perspective about how truly cute she really is.
"Last year I went to see Animal Collective at Bowery Ballroom. It was one of those rare shows where I decided seeing the band while seated would be much more enjoyable then standing and seeing the band all the way up front, so I ventured to the balcony with a friend and grabbed a table. As the show progressed through the openers Jena Malone came and stood next to us, clearly as stoned as Mary Magdalene would have been had Jesus not intervened. Jena spent the rest of the set grooving to the stylings of the Animal Collective like you could not imagine. Between touching herself and rubbing against the wall, I could not believe my eyes. And the most amazing part of the whole scene was she was the only person in the entire place that was dancing, showing that she "got" the music more than anyone else (I think). If you take the time to listen to the songs you will undoubtedly pick another female indie singer and attempt to compare them. Please don't do this. Jena's voice is loaded with effects on these recordings, and very lo-fi one's at that. The result is a subdued voice that barely comes out enough to hear over the music. Musically the Bloodstains go for the same lo-fi sound, passing keyboards, bass, and guitars through loads of distortion and synthetic effects and recording them at the lowest quality they possibly could have. All this blends together to create four heartfelt, passionate songs that easily transport you to another world."(taken from http://poptartssucktoasted.blogspot.com)
