Vanity Crash
Born on stage under hot lights in the crucible of sound and fury.
Creating punk spunk and glam clamor.
David Bowie Tribute
Vanity Crash does not pretend to be Bowie; instead, it embodies the passion and groundbreaking vision of Bowie’s music through an excellently executed performance that connects with the audience.
Vanity Crash plays fan favorites from Space Oddity through to Bowie’s final album, Black Star.
“Vanity Crash put on a great and fun show. I love when bands play to the audience!” – Shane, talent buyer, The Grove Amphitheater.
“I drove up from Columbus to see you perform because I love Bowie; and now I’m walking into my car singing Heroes!! it was a fantastic concert.” – Gail, fan

Matthew Angel
Matthew loves rock and roll — it’s in his blood. Many say he’s an old soul in a young body. He is most influenced by the blues of Stevie Ray Vaughn and the hot licks of AC/DC. This persuaded him to get his signature SG guitar. Being in Vanity Crash was exactly what Matthew needed. It had been years since he was in a band, and to find such a good set of musicians that love playing and creating music, it is truly a gift.
