Bio
Jane, a progressive rock band from Germany, was formed in October 1970 in Hanover. The group originated from the late sixties psychedelic band The J.P.s, which featured future Jane members Peter Panka on vocals and drums, Klaus Hess on bass, and Werner Nadolny on saxophone. In 1972, Jane released their debut album Together on Brain Records, featuring power vocalist Bernd Pulst. Throughout the 1970s, Jane underwent several lineup changes and released notable albums such as Here We Are (1973) and Jane III (1974). In 1976, Werner Nadolny returned for the symphonic progressive rock masterpiece Fire, Water, Earth & Air. The band's live album Jane at Home Live, released in 1976, went gold in Germany. Jane continued to release albums throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. Founding member Peter Panka died of cancer in 2007.
