"NYC band on the rise: The Vanguard
Three immigrants and a Virginian come together in NYC to make some alt/rock happen - or maybe we should call it 80s influenced alt/pop? Ther name is The Vanguard and they are promoting their new self titled EP, next show on 04.24.2008 08:30 PM - Sullivan Hall - NYC 214 Sullivan St., and then again a few weeks later at The Annex, May 10.

'Get Faster'

"To help her win this year's Monstertrack, Dylan looks to three alleycat racers for their advice."

Band Bio:
Rasko and David meet. They're teens, and have recently arrived from Eastern Europe. A bond develops between them in a mix of long hair, immigration papers, and music. A decade later a bearded Argentinean joins their group. Luke quickly finds, in David and Rasko, great music and lingering but subdued accents. The gang name themselves The Vanguard, and begin playing shows. Meanwhile, a Virginian moves to NYC in search of music and expensive rent. Aaron meets the trio, and seven days later the boys perform their first show together at Bar Sputnik in Brooklyn. Time passes, and we find our group a complete unit with a self titled EP, a music video directed by Patryk Rebisz, and playing shows every two weeks. Recent highlights include pulling the night's largest draw at the Universal Motown ROCK NYC showcase on 4.11.2008, and the Deli Magazine naming The Vanguard a "NYC band on the rise".

Recent shows:
We're saying goodbye or our wonderful Mr. Aaron Barr Esquire III for a month, as he leaves us to become a movie star. How else can we celebrate such an occasion but by playing a show. For those of you that don't know, our beloved Virginian voice has been cast in an indie flick and will be shooting for a month. No worries, when he's back we'll whip him into shape again and get some more melodies out of him.
Sooo, this coming Saturday 5/10, 8.30 pm, we'll be raising our beers, and playing some music at THE ANNEX.
