How to Vanish was founded in 2004 in Columbia, S.C., where we've been a part of the music scene for a few years now. Visit us at www.howtovanish.net to listen to more of our material.
Here's what the Free Times (Columbia's weekly entertainment paper) has to say about us:
"The real interest may be the debut of How to Vanish. Recently formed, How to Vanish is a Columbia supergroup, of sorts. This quartet--comprised of Columbia rockers who arguably bowed out at the height of local popularity--could take Columbia by surprise, or even by storm. With their powers combined, they could be captains of Columbia's slipping rock scene."
How to Vanish is a relatively new project, but the band has been together, in one form or another, since singer/songwriter Kenley Young's sophomore year of high school in Georgetown, S.C.
When the band came to college in Columbia, we were known as Fling. Ask around town, and you'll find vestiges of that fan base, a few incriminating photos, and maybe some copies of our first EP, "The View From the Valley." Southeast Performer magazine had nice things to say:
"Take a moment to recollect the last time a pop album was praised for its depth and emotion. Kenley Young is not only the strength behind the vocals, but the poetic genius that delivers compelling, passionate lyrics."
In 2002, Fling released a second EP, which you can listen to at the How to Vanish Web site.
After Fling parted ways, Kenley did a lot of solo work and a lot of writing, from which How to Vanish was born two years ago.
