1The Vanities
The Vanities are an electro-rock duo from Cardiff made up of Rhys Bradley (vocals/guitar) and Adam Hill (bass guitar). Following a riotous period of early success in the noughties, the band retreated into a self-imposed, decade-long exile before returning in 2021 with their critically acclaimed album, “2001”.
Lead single “London” was singled out for particular praise and enjoyed heavy rotation on BBC Radio Wales, leading to the band supporting New Romantic legend Tony Hadley on his 40th anniversary tour in 2022.
The Vanities return in 2023 with brand new single, “Private Army”. A notable departure from their signature 80s sound, “Private Army” is an epic orchestral affair, a haunting lament on the folly of humankind in the new era of war in Europe.
“Private Army” is out on 31/03/23 through Star Asylum Records.
The band will be playing a small number of select “unplugged” shows in support of the release including two dates with Peter Cox of 80s icons Go West at Cardiff’s Acapela Studio on 16th and 17th May 2023.
