The Villain Vanguard is an idea. That all people should be able to put away their busy day, dance, sing, and get down together. After years of playing in the Dallas, Ft. Worth, Denton area, the Villains know how to bring it! Funk, Rock Reggae, and Soul my friends! Coming soon the Cretaceous Boogie, the new album from the Villain Vanguard. Download the sneak peek tracks through Snocap.
