The Godfather of Bass: Danny Vanity

 Born in the Windy City, our most-wanted (and needed) player probably reached a Capone-level of badassery in music before he could even spell the word “prohibition.” Today, he’s packing the personal motto ‘Purpose, Preparedness, Professionalism,’ and delighting audiences in every dark corner of Phoenix - with the skills of a veritable contract killer. Vanity dreams in technicolored frequencies, has the hands to drive a rhythm like 

a getaway car, and can call a note out of thin air with less effort than it takes to call an Uber for a high-flying dame at a funeral. In short, 

we had to have him.

And we didn’t even know it... until Trixie stumbled into his circle of organized awesomeness at an ANKH ALIEN band practice - as invited 

by guitar-extraordinaire, celebrated songwriter, and local music maharishi, Bryon Mogul. It was starry-eyes at first jam session for the femme fatale: Vanity's prowess on his instrument is matched only by the fearlessness he flaunts in the face of challenges that others would find daunting. Influenced by made-men like Entwistle, JP Jones, and Geddy Lee, no string is too low and no song insurmountable. Far surpassing 

technical proficiency, Vanity embodies a talent that spans multiple instruments (including piano and guitar), a rare brand of on-stage 

chemistry with his colleagues, the old-school charisma of a smooth scotch, a pinch of Chicago-flash, and an absolutely criminal wit.

Vanity can do, commits to, and does music like a BOSS, obviously loves the power inherent in his weapon of choice, and when asked 

about his interest in the Ego Machine (under duress and the threat of a swinging lightbulb), is likely to throw a wink at the band’s unique sound 

- describing it as “Metallica on bottom, with Blondie on top.” The whole damn gang would otherwise go on record: Vanity makes a prominent contribution towards our goals and presents as a natural leader in our entourage. Propelling us forward with creative energy and 

the kind of wisdom that goes hand-in-hand with ‘no bullshit,’ this stand-up guy exponentially maximizes our potential, 

keeps the engine running by sheer force of will, and brings the big guns —all the way home.
