Press Reviews Washingtonpost.com - Vanity Champ formed a little over two years ago, cutting their teeth in clubs like The Black Cat, Iota, & The Velvet Lounge, hosting many great local & national acts. SHAUN: Guitar/Vocals ARTIE: Bass JAY: Drums Hail from Arlington,VA, playing passionate hard rock with big hooks and big dynamics. VANITY CHAMP's third release Tranquilized was recorded in December of 1999 and is a deadly mix of sonic decadence and subtle grooves. There are 11 songs on the album including Silver Beauty Mark (found on the Velvet Lounge's latest compilation). Live, they demand your attention, always locked into the force of their own music blending with the energy of a hungry crowd - a must see!
