Artist History The Suburban Vamps is a band on the cutting edge of an ever changing music scene, and it happened completely by chance.The band, featuring guitarist/vocalist Tony Leicht, Bassist Darren Denenberg, and drummer Mike Walker first formed as a side project to find something missing in their respective bands. Simultaneously influenced by the Sex Pistols and Cheap Trick, monster movies and Hollywood tabloids, the band recorded a quick demo and was soon hailed as the next big power-pop-punk outfit by the local press. Paying little attention to labels and trends, the band continued to write their music on their own terms. The Suburban Vamps soon grew to be a hometown phenomenon, and a second demo proved that the band was no fluke. Having outgrown punk's bad-on-purpose aesthetic, The Vamps were ready to remake rock in their own image, and they had the imagination (and the Atari collection) to prove it.The latest chapter in The Suburban Vamps fable starts ready to release their first full-length independent album, Happy Songs of Despair, engineered by the same group responsible for the Spin Doctors and Deep Purple. Already a generation ahead of their contemporaries, The Suburban Vamps always stay true to punk and bubblegum, power pop and rock and roll, Redd Kross and The Misfits, anarchy and public access television. Their time is whenever it's fun; their time is their version of now.
