About Me

conceived in north Philly, in a burned out house near Cambria and Front st... fashioned on the capital streets of Washington, DC in 1998... fueled by decadence, adrenaline, glitter and glam... Vanity Champ found their demons in raunchy rock n roll and came screaming from the basement, "C'mon c'mon!"...this aint no plastic reflection. this is your last chance to freak out! so "let's get it on!"...a real starry smash, featuring: Skank Destiny, Artie Swell, Jerry Kurl, Johnny Pleasure and Jay Chaos... they cut their teeth @ Iota, and the Black Cat, and the Velvet Lounge, and soon spit on stages with your favorites along the east coast. stages adorned with votive candles, plastic flowers, glitter and sweat. first came the 7 song demo: "SuperZoomMagnaCrush"(1998)(adios johnny pleasure), and the last and full length hoorah w/ Jerry Kurl on drums, "Everything's Prettier"(1999)(as a 3 piece band), enter old friend Jay Arnholt on drums... then, Burn-One (in NYC) released "Vanity Champ live @ the Black Cat"(1999), then came a self released 11 song album called "Tranquilized"(2000), and another 3 song EP, "DemonStration 2001" and the latest, unmixed as of yet, but still available, "Mira! Mira!"... you want? we got! thanks to everyone who's been hangin' around! we totally adore you! we rock 'n roll for you!!! Cheers babies...
