I am not affiliated with this band in any way. This is for promotional purposes only. Enjoy.

Rising from the ashes of the Grand Rapids based progressive thrash metal band Beyond All Reckoning, bassist James Kennedy decided enough was not enough. He had a vision of a band put together based on friendship and personalities, rather than basing a band on talent alone.

After recruiting newcomer Jeff Bailey on rhythmn guitar & long time friend Adam Ford on vocal duties, the band began to take shape. The choice was easy for the lead guitar position - Beyond All Reckoning's shred master Andrew Mepham. Now came the hard part; who is going to play drums? After answering a replacement drum ad for B.A.R., some new blood emerged. 19 year old Derrick Duemler became the obvious choice for the position. Unseasoned & non-jaded, he will blast you a new one with his passion for percussion.

With all the positions filled, they instantly started to think of names. Adam wanted a band name that reflected the duality and contradictions represented in his lyrics. "There's so much beauty in the world, while at the same time so many horrible things. I am a very optimistic pessimist and I believe my lyrics portray that. Although I write negative sounding lyrics at times, I always have an underlying theme of hope. It might not be bluntly stated, but there is always a silver lining."

Vegas Knife Fight combines the beauty and the glamour associtated with Las Vegas, as well as the violence that comes from a brutal back alley knife fight. Regardless of what a name like Vegas Knife Fight makes you think, this band is unmistakable. Heavy yet melodic, trashy with a little classy, these dudes will show you a rockin' good time.
