FOCUS ON: The Vanity Set
- Official Website >>
- Label: Cargo UK >>
- Genre: Rock
Led by James Sclavunos (the tallest man in Rock and famed drummer/percussionist with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
The Vanity Set blend low art, high sass and raw bluster. No other band leaps from the sublime to depraved, filth to elegance, camp to heartfelt urgency like these black-fisted Post-Romanticists. Sclavunos is the exquisitely tailored, six-foot-seven, howling/crooning front man with a vocal style somewhere between Adam West, Jarvis Cocker and Kermit.
Renowned for their wickedly exuberant live performances, The Vanity Set sally forth with psycho-billy guitar, creepy keys, raucous tuba, mellifluous theremin, and boasts the finest rhythm section in all five boroughs of New York City.
The Vanity Set are:
James Sclavunos: lead vocals
Peter Mavrogeorgis: guitar
Meredith Yayanos: violin/theremin
Jennifer Carey: tuba
David Morton: keyboards
Byron Isaacs: bass
David Berger: drums
