Friday Night Concert Series Presents Vulgarrity August 5

There are many words to describe the 2011 WBRU Rock Hunt Winners Vulgarrity, traditional is definitely not one of them. After years of playing musical chairs with band names and members, Tracy & Shawn Garrity decided to take a route not many have traveled. After months of soul searching and drawing inspiration from an unhealthy obsession with horror movies, the brother/sister duo decided to do just that…become a duo.

Every instrument is played live during their shows with the duties split between the two. Using loop pedals, they are able to sync drums, bass, keyboards and guitar into a cohesive sound. Close your eyes and you'd swear you're hearing a six-piece act.

The band's unique approach and relentless tour schedule has attracted nationwide attention, earning them airplay on satellite and college radio, MTV's hit shows "Made", "Cribs", "Teen Cribs" and "My Life as Liz", invitations to share the stage with The Misfits, Mike Doughty, King's X, and most recently an artist development contract with MySpace Records.

If you haven't seen them live yet, it's truly a one-of-a-kind experience where the reaction from first-timers is almost always "I've never seen anything like that before!"
