Amanda Bandanna

Amanda Farrell (better known by her stage names Amanda Bandanna and Amanda Axe) was a teenage pop star known for dating The Weenie.

Career
Amanda was born in New Jersey, but moved to Dublin with her parents and two older brothers at age 4. She secured a record deal when she was fourteen with LA! LA! Records. Her first album, 'Guitar of Shame' was met with a polarised reception and ranked at number 7 on the charts. However, this changed when Amanda began dating the Weenie, star of the hit TV show, the Mommy Show. Within two days of the first leaked picture of the couple on a date, 'Guitar of Shame' shot to number 1 and she was awarded the LA! LA! Award for Best Original Album. Amanda was marked as a rising star. LA! LA! immediately ordered a follow-up to 'Guitar of Shame', which came in the form of the EP 'Guitar of Genocidal Tendencies', which also ranked at number 1 (until Sinead knocked her off with 'Moo'). Soon after, Amanda and the Weenie announced they had ended their relationship, and Amanda began dating Antonio Pallari. However, she dumped him when he kidnapped the Weenie out of jealousy. Despite the bad blood between her and the Weenie, she joined him as a supporting act on the 'Roasting Weenies' tour. Apparently due to the time to bond, she and the Weenie rekindled their relationship after the tour in January 2011. On their 3 month anniversary, however, the Weenie suddenly dumped her. Due to this heartbreak, she took on a darker, edgier image and changed her stage name to Amanda Axe. Soon after this change, she released her next album, 'Death: How Common'. This album received mixed-to-negative reviews. Peaking at number 9 on the charts, it later dropped to 29. This, along with other diminishing record sales, led LA! LA! To drop all its artists and close down its music label. As a result, Amanda faded out of existence.
