Vulgar Pang
Vulgar Pang is gothic rock band from Appleton, Wisconsin formed in 2004 by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Craig Hawkinson.〔(GarageBand.com: Vulgar Pang )〕
== Biography ==
Originally designed as a studio unit to showcase Hawkinson's songwriting, the band released ''Pleasures of Schizophrenia'' in October 2005. Steven Hyden of ''The Post Crescent'' wrote of the eccentric debut "the music straddles the line between melody and abrasiveness".〔(Post Crescent article by Steven Hyden )〕 The core group on ''Pleasures'' consisted of Marc Golde on Hammond B3, Greg Thiel on drums and percussion, and Hawkinson playing guitar and bass on many of the tracks as well as providing all the vocals. Several Wisconsin musicians made guest appearances on the recordings, including bassist Jason Brown (formerly of Hank Williams III), saxophonist Steve Cooper, drummer Eric Harkoff, and Danny Jerabek on accordion. ''Pleasures of Schizoprenia'' combined many different genres of music, from rock ("Divided by Zero") to funk ("Celebrate Yourself") to Tom Waits-style croonings ("No One Will Find Us", "Valentine Jesus") to gothic stylings that would be further shaped into a more consistent sound in the band's later recordings ("Vardoulacha", "Tangier").
The second CD release, ''Memoirs of Don Juan Gacy'', was released in January 2008. The album again included the collaboration of Hawkinson, Golde, and Thiel, with Ken Rodgers joining the fold on bass guitar. ''Memoirs'' is notable for the inclusion of a cover of Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers", which managed to catch the attention of Italian author and Dusk (Genesis fanzine) contributor Mario Giametti. Also notable is "Tangier, Part II", a continuation (or perhaps reinvention) of the William S. Burroughs-influenced track on the previous album, and "Charenton", with a guest appearance on piano by jazz vocalist and pianist Helen Exner. ''Memoirs'' has received positive reviews, including a 9 out of 10 rating from Madison-based Maximum Ink Magazine.〔(Maximum Ink Review )〕 A video was released for the album's third track "Heaven Without You".〔("Heaven Without You" video )〕
The band announced on their MySpace website in 2008 that all of its proceeds from "Games Without Frontiers" will be donated to Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and Fisher House Foundation until further notice to support US troops and their families.
