VannaCutt

Vannacutt was a post-hardcore/metalcore band from Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

The band released an EP in 2009 called Knee Deep In The Breakdown.

From their Myspace: Vannacutt is an upcoming band from Las Vegas that’s on their way to better things, and taking over their music scene with force and vengeance. The group was founded by Jeff Machete, Brian Rogers, and Nick Decay in December of 2007, after their respective former bands broke up. They found Dan Grgat to fill the position of lead guitar. Matt Janz entered the picture when his previous band members from Hollis Hurst (Jeff Machete and Nick Decay) asked him to play bass for the band, although hesitant at first, Matt Janz joined and the relentless force that is known as Vannacutt was born. After only half a year of existence, Vannacutt went through some crucial line-up changes, Dan Grgat left the band and Matt Janz took the position of Lead guitarist, giving Vannacutt a new, energetic, and “hyphy” sound.

The band went to Love Juice Labs to record their first demo in June of 2008, and when they came back it quickly received attention and gave the band the well known notoriety they wanted. Vannacutt worked on their stage show, and created one of the most intense, chaotic, and epic live shows the Las Vegas’ music scene has ever seen. After going through three bass players, Vannacutt had nearly given up hope in finding a permanent member when Matt Janz found Joey Thunder, he wasn’t what they wanted completely, but he was good enough to fill the spot. With their new bassist and a grip of new material, Vannacutt returned to Love Juice Labs in December of 2008 to record the rest of their EP. They returned home with a new, heavier, more melodic, and al-together better sound. When they put their EP on myspace it quickly received massive attention, with an average of 5,000 plays a day, and putting themselves in the higher positions of the myspace top 100 unsigned band's charts, they were catching on like herpes.

Vannacutt played tons a regional shows, including shows with This Romantic Tragedy, Almost is Nothing, Live via Sky, Destruction of a Rose, Heavy Heavy Low Low, Dance Gavin Dance, In:Aviate, Taking Dawn, The Number Twelve Looks Like you, Our Last Night, I See Stars, We Came as Romans, Story of the Year, and Escape the Fate. Recently Vannacutt has undergone line-up changes, Joey Thunder and Nick Decay have been replaced, there is a blog up with details.. Vannacutt quickly found new members, introducing Larry Lare on Drums, and Billy Kostelich on Bass. The band is stronger, better, tighter, heavier, and more hyphy then ever, the band is going to be recording at a new studio in California sometime in July, and will be coming back with a new vicious and intense sound. Vannacutt has a summer tour lined up with Modern Escape and Perfect Like Me, so be sure to catch them in your city! This is a band you don’t want to miss!
