Artist Information

Biography

the Cut-Offs Band Bio (written by Ryan) The Cut-Offs formed in the year 1998. The original members got together with little intention of doing anything more than to have a good time. The original line up consisted of Matt Mulhall trying to sing, Pete Mulhall trying to play guitar and sometimes bass, Ryan Adie trying to play bass and sometimes guitar, and Eric Schultz banging on a 30+ year old drum set fully equipped with an old toaster that added a sound not yet captured live. Pete and Ryan, being guitarists, did not want to play bass. Instead they switched bass duty in the middle of sets. The band wrote two new songs the day of their first show and played a blistering six song fifteen minute set. Due to planting his seed, Eric left the band shortly after their first show, which came shortly after their first practice. The band forged on and added Derek Reinhart on drums. Derek played a few shows with the Cut-Offs but due to either commitment problems or a broken watch could not show up for practices. He, in turn, was replaced by Keion Nostadt, who added the first actual talent to the band. The Cut-Offs then began a tear of shows with bands like Fed Up, The 440's and the Noid. With a growing constituency and more songs the band decided to take a break, which lasted for a few months. Matt, Pete, Eric, and Derek formed a side project and played around. Ryan and Keion also formed a short-lived side project. After all wounds healed, the Cut-Offs decided to give the music another shot. The band reformed with Matt on vocals, Ryan and Eric on guitar, Keion on drums, and added Tony Cadaver on bass. The band has finished their first full length CD Fat, Drunk, and Angry which can be purchased from any show and various other places listed on our web site. In the begining of the the summer in 2004 Eric Schultz has left the band to take time out to be with his family. We thanks him for all the help and support thru the years and have decide that it would be easier and more productive to carry on as a 4 piece than try to replace him. Moving on to Febuary 2005 we recorded 13 tracks for a new album titled American Standard and are currently shoping them to various record labels with hopes to be getting some help with the release which is planed for the end of 2005. We are currently touring up and down the east coast and have a tour booked for the west coast in December 2005 with skate rock legends McRad, Leiana and the Ray Gradys. With the realease of Do It Yourself, the Cut-Offs second full lengeth release as well as the addition of seasoned bass palyer Rick Wadsworth to the line up. We have just fiished with our 2nd west coast tour in Decmber 2006 and begun writing songs for our third full length.

But what sets the Cut-Offs apart is thier sense of humor. They realy don't look the part,they come from the decidedly UN-punk Philly suburb of Schwenksville and thier lyrics are hularious. Get Fat, Drunk & Angry today!" Rock in PA

They've probably been listening to the new U.S. street punk bands, but thank God they don't pretend to be Irish. The faster songs sound a bit like the Queers when they were ok. Generally this is the same tradition as Zero Boys or something like that. Firecracker 69 is really good."

Setlist

Our set list is never the same, we try to change it and keep it interesting for those that see us all the time and sometimes we try to cater it to the crowd a little. Some times we don't use a set list, we script the first couple of songs then we take requests from the audience. As far as covers, we do a few from band's such as Social Distorion, Bad Religon, Nofx and Misfits. We can play30min. set up to 50 min. set we can even do multiple set's
