The Vanity Set is fronted by Jim Sclavunos, who has been associated with a large slice of American punk, no-wave, indie & experimental rock history. He's played with Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Lydia Lunch/8-Eyed Spy, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, the Cramps and Sonic Youth to name just a few, and he is currently with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The Vanity Set album "Little Stabs of Happiness" is by turns unbelievably beautiful, intense, dark, lush, evocative and cinematic in the vein of Lee Hazelwood, the Velvet Underground, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Tom Waits, Eno, the Scientists, Scott Walker.
