  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. Biography.... ..Resting on the cusp of rock and roll and darkness are the resilient pop alliance The Vanished. Their sound reflects intricate melodies and climactic tones, complimented with a melancholy vocal styling. Each song’s lyrical allegory declares handsome misfortunes while honoring the integrity of rock music. .. .. The Vanished formed in 2003 when vocalist Kevin Kirkwood and guitarist Dallas Perry joined childhood friends Justin Young (bass) and Phil Helms (drums) to start a long-talked about musical vagrancy. The lineup was complete in 2006 with the addition of Chance Ivey on guitar. The five-some conducted a live performance true to arena rock standards while capturing the individual artistic influences of its diverse band members. Each member brings an original spark to the band’s style from glam rock to indie-alternative obscurities. Vocalist Kirkwood attributes a majority of his artistic inspirations from the world of film, namely visionary Tim Burton’s sickly sweet pairings of the grotesque with fairy-tale endings. This unexpected combination of interests built an eclectic foundation for the band to capture an exclusive sound and create a lasting style of rock n roll pleasing to fans of any genre... .. In 2005 the band released their debut full-length album Favorite Scar and received an immediate reaction across the southwest. Quickly climbing the charts at KDGE in Dallas/Ft. Worth, The Vanished’s lead title track “Favorite Scar” achieved 1300 spins on the station prompting the song to reach 1100 spins on KLAQ in El Paso. These overwhelming successes led the band to 18 months of tours and concert events where they shared the stage with Bowling For Soup, Blue October, Daughtry, Flyleaf, The Exies and Simple Plan. Along with these tours The Vanished performed at numerous radio festivals and events with My Chemical Romance, Alkaline Trio, Velvet Revolver, Chevelle, Papa Roach, Buckcherry and several dates on the Warped Tour (2005)... .. The Vanished realized another triumph in November of 2006 with the release of Act I: Captives the first in a trio of EP’s to be revealed by the band. The three-part series reflects the theatrical behavior the band captures in each live performance – sharing not just live music with the audience but a three-act play of passion, despair and tragedy. Produced by Zac Maloy (formerly of the Nixons) and recorded at Rosewater Studios in Tulsa, OK, this first imprint of the impending trilogy features five power-house tracks showcasing The Vanished’s vivid story telling... .. The EP’s first single “The Longest Goodbye” reached 1 in airplay at KDGE in Dallas and the top 10 at KLAQ in El Paso, KDJE in Little Rock and KMYZ in Tulsa. The single was collectively played on over 13 stations across the southwest including KTCL in Denver. This progression of accomplishments welcomed The Vanished to perform at the grand opening of Dallas’ Palladium Ballroom music venue in 2007 and was a springboard to a series of concert events including the band’s third appearance at KDGE’s Edgefest in Dallas at Pizza Hut Park and second appearance at KTBZ’s Buzzfest in Houston at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. .. ..The Vanished continued to perform across the nation as they prepared for the 2007 Family Values Tour. The follow-up single from Act I: Captives titled “Chemical Reaction” rose to the 1 spot on Sirius Satellite radio's Alternative Nation where it stayed and solidified The Vanished's reputation for great hook and emotional story telling. .. ..In 2008, with the addition of River Tunnell (bass), The Vanished plans to release what hopes to be the most innovative, powerful and diverse effort they have ever done. Look for Act II from The Vanished in late 2008 to early 2009. .. ..

    The native-born Jamaican Marvin Anthony Burnett aka Sledgy was born in St. James at September, 27th in 1973.
    At the age of sixteen he came with his brother to Germany to stay with his mother and live a better life. Shortly afterwards young Anthony got down with rapping.
    To do music brings a lot of joy to him. Music is a great pleasure for Sledgy; he feels committed to make music.

    It helped him through his hard time after his entry into Germany which was totally foreign to him at that time.
    After he had rapped a long time for himself to take his mind off his worries, Burnett signed a contract with the label Power Jam Records.
    With conclusion of the treaty his music career begins.

    Under the name of Marvin Burnett he performs onstage (YOU) two times and at Funworld, Bodensee. Furthermore his music appeared on Radio K?ln and Radio 7.
    For two years he has been under contract to Power Jam Records which is known as GUMAK Media e.K. today.

    The Jamaican Burnett is also charitable. He gave many benefit performances, among others at K?lner Zoo, in a retirement home and not least at town hall in Cologne- Kalk.
