[edit] History

The Vancouver quintet was formed out of a friendship between Cassandra Ford and Rob Kirkham. In 2000 the two met at a bar, becoming musical collaborators from then on. Kirkham then recruited his two brothers Chris and Anthony Kirkham. The brothers had extensive musical training from their father, a trumpet player for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Finally, Mary Ancheta joined the group later on. The band signed to the Bodog record label in 2006. In 2007, The Vincent Black Shadow played on the Vans Warped Tour having 'rocked' it the previous year. The Vincent Black Shadow have also toured with Joan Jett, Halifax, Greeley Estates, Bif Naked, Kosheen and even Snow Patrol.
