Steven Ronald "Stevo" Jensen (April 29, 1959–August 21, 2005) was an American musician and an original founding member of The Vandals, alongside Jan Nils Ackermann.
The band was based out of Huntington Beach, California.
After performing for some time in different bands in Southern California, Ackermann decided to form The Vandals, enlisting Jensen as vocalist. "I admired the way Mike Roche and Ron and Bob Emory (Ron's older brother) dressed and acted, and I followed in their footsteps," Jensen recalled.
But before long, he developed his own outrageous take on punk that was far from T.S.O.L.'s glowering style. "I said, 'We're going to have a good time with it.
We're going to make fun of everybody and we're going to have fun doing it,' " Jensen said.
"That's what I wanted--fun." After performing with Steve Gonzalez and Vince Mesa, The Original Line-up of The Vandals performed at the now World-Famous Costa Mesa Club the Cuckoo's Nest owned by early Punk Rock club owner Jerry Roach.
Stevo and the Vandals performed that night with China White and Shattered Faith before Gonzalez and Mesa left the initial group.
Steve Soto from Adolescents and Agent Orange fame rehearsed with Jan Nils Ackermann on Bass Guitar previous to the Peace Thru' Vandalism line-up of The Vandals recording, constructing bass parts for many future songs along with early notables on bass who helped write songs such as Bob Emory, Steve Gonzalez and Steve "Human" Pfauter.
Stevo died in 2005 in Maui, Hawaii.
