The Cuts were a rock and roll band from Oakland, California.
Oakland's only rock 'n' roll group, The Cuts were formed by Carlos Palacios, Andy Jordan and Eric Johnson in 1998. Johnson left the band and Carlos Palacios, Andy Jordan, Carson Bell, Elizabeth Dotzler and Garrett Goddard solidified this initial lineup. After winning a talent contest in 1999, the Cuts released their Heart Attack 7 on Lookout Records, "Probably the last good record that graced the Lookout label". The group went on tour with The Donnas in 1999 after which Bell left the band. The Cuts then recorded their first, self-titled LP for Rock N Roll Blitzkrieg. "Danny James" Aaberg replaced Dotzler on keys in late 2000, joining original members Andy Jordan, Carlos Palacios & Garrett Godard. In 2001, the Cuts moved to El Paso to live cheaply, and work on their writing, resulting in their second LP—Two Over Ten, which began the band's five year stint with Birdman Records. While The Cuts rapidly garnered a reputation as crazed, dangerous Rock and Rollers, they were also developing an anti-intuitive songwriting-style, incorporating their knowledge of psychedelia, powerpop and glam. Ben Brown joined up on lead guitar for the third, Cuts album. From Here On Out, released in 2006 with glowing reviews, was not enough to save The Cuts: later the same year, Danny James took his exit, and, after a couple gigs with keyboard wizard Joel Robinow, the Cuts decided to call it quits. In 2012, The Cuts reunited for select dates.
