Band Members: Jonathan Jones: Main Vocals/Drummer & Songwriter
My name is Jonathan Jones. This whole paragraph is my life. Read the whole thing cuz I put a lot of time into writing it lol. I'm 18 years old. I am the lead singer, drummer, and I split time writing the songs for Vegas Virgin with Flag(Anthony). I graduated from Taft High School in 2006 and began my college experience at The Musician's Institiute in Hollywood, before quickly deciding that I wasn't going to pursue a career in music through that school. I decided to take the usual "community college and transfer to the 4-year school" path, looking to study business accounting or possibly law, starting at College of the Canyons in Valencia, CA in June this year, before transfering to whichever school is best at the time. Until then I work as many hours as possible at the PacSun in the topanga mall. I have a girlfriend and she goes to Taft High School. She dominates ass on the girl's Volleyball team. We've been going out for a pretty long time and she influences alot of the stuff I write. She's my best friend and she's super-dee-duper-ly hot. I USED to drive a black, lowered 2001 Jetta VR6. It was blacked out completely. It had tinted windows, black rims(with no polished fucking lip like every other car in the world has), smoked tail lights, and it bumped cuz I put a sick sub in it. NOW I drive a lifted 1999 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. It's fuckin tuff. I'm a huge football fan. I follow a few teams, but I'm a huge huge Cowboy's fan. I like playing certain video games sometimes. I like Final Fantasy XII, whatever the newest madden is, Dynasty Warriors 4, and the Mario games lol. I, and all my friends, wear MacBeth shoes because they own. I love In-N-Out burger. I'm drinking an In-N-Out coke right now. I love good, long movies, scary movies, and then really funny movies. For example... The Gangs of New York(long), Saw movies(scary), and The Wedding Crashers(shit my pants funny). I change my hair style like every few months. That causes me to always pour the wrong amount of shampoo into my hand in the shower lol. Right now, I'm sporting the mohawk. I REALLY like driving to the beach. with friends. and loud music. I like going at night, too. I love eating. I love new clothes, and I actually love shopping. I have a snake that kicks ass and the tightest dog ever. Love feeding the snake, hate feeding the dog. I play guitar. I'm really weird haha. honestly though. I just see the whole world in such a weird way. I absolutely LOVE like memories I guess you could say. I love having those memorable moments, and then looking back on them, or listening to music that puts you there again. I love that. I almost never drink, and I don't smoke. I'm not the big party guy really. I just like being around people I know. I pick at my lips kind of alot. I love the feeling of after being in the pool. I haven't eaten any candy at all in almost 5 years, my dad owns a motorcycle shop, so I kind of grew up around that, and going to lakes and stuff, um, I like wearing hats, I love long drives, I love the smell of sharpies, hate the smell of vinegar, I love books, but I never read, I'm like half Hawaiian, but I can't surf, and I don't eat fish. I think that guys that shop at Hollister are fags haha, but i know like 50 people that work there. maybe 20 are guys lol. I hate eating fastfood, but i go ALL the damned time lol. At the end of all this, I honestly don't think anyone understands me as a person. I have a lot to say... lol Basically, TO SUM ME UP... I'm a weird fuck. I have a lot of dreams in life... and I will not let anything ever get in my way of accomplishing them. I always find a way. IM me at Rainfallsreal. Here's a list of all my favorite bands in no specific order:Escape the Fate's original epitaph EP, oldschool Vanna, A Day to Remember, The Bled's old Cd with Red Wedding on it, August Burns Red, Underoath's older CD, Haste the Day's older CD, Hidden in Plain View, Bombshell, The Used, Beloved, It Prevails, It Dies Today, Parkway Drive, oldschool rap off of Death Row Records, Immortal Technique, Linkin Park, Symphony in Peril, This Day Forward, The Postal Service, old Finch, Silverstein, Diabolic, the original Avenged Sevenfold on Hopeless Records, Pennywise, Underminded, Thrice, the original A Static Lullaby CD, and the original Atreyu CD, Destroy the Runner, and so many other bands. Those are like the best. Talk to you all later. I'll see you at our shows!
Anthony R. Manning: Lead Guitar & Songwriter
My name is Anthony Ryan Manning. I am also known as Flag. That name was given to me by my 3 oldests friends Jon, Shaun, and Travis back in 7th grade. Anthony or Flag; I respond to both so dont feel weird about it. Ive been playing Guitar for about 6 years now. In Vegas Virgin, I, along with Jon write the songs of Vegas Virgin. Im 17 and senior at Taft. I have been working at Starbucks for the past year. I work at Shirley and Ventura near Corbin Bowl, so come and visit me. I love chilling with my friends on my free time. I also like to appreciate things for what they're worth rather than take them for granted. Its sounds cliche but music is my life. I love listening to music, Writing it, Playing it, and Learning it. If you wanna talk to me.....hit me up at ormoluxlead (SN).
Zack Danger : Frontman/Main Screams Zachary Danger Scott Del Monte. I am now the newest member of Vegas Virgin. I bring the demonics, the mic and my throat are my instruments. This band (plus B Rain) is my crew, my closest friends, and my brothers. I've been friends with them since the band started and im proud and honored to have officially joined the group. I'm 18 years young born March 24th 1988. I am an aries and if you saw me you'd know that by looking at my wrist.

I currently go to MI in Hollywood to study music business and starting next srping, recording engineering. I'm excited. I didn't graduate highschool the normal way I took the CHSPE and passed it second time around. I'm single. Not currently involved in any type of relationship other than friends. I LOVE my friends, they mean the world to me. They're right up there with music. I LIVE for music. Eat, sleep, and breath it. I add at least one band a day to my list of who i listen to. I'm outgoing, down to earth, and easy to get along with. I write lyrics none of which have been used in any of our songs...yet. Let me know if you ever want to read them. I like to share =] I could quite possibly be THE pickiest eater you will ever meet. Just to name a few i hate the following: cheese (which i haven't eaten in 9 years), sour cream, guacamole, cream cheese, mayonaise, mustard, relish, any and all kinds of sea food.. if it comes from the ocean i will not eat it. And NO I am not lactose intolerant. I'm not vegen either, BUT I LOVE vegan enchiladas. My means of transportation is my 2005 Dodge Neon oh baby. Nothing special but it gets me around. I'm a weird, weird person and i really love talking to and meeting new people so please feel free to talk to me whenever you want. AIM sn= for thine honour

Travis Mannon: Bassist
The name's Travis Mannon. I'm officially old enough to be drafted but I doubt I'd fight. I started off playing guitar but turned to the four-string when my friends needed a bassist. That was back in early 2002. I've had the same girlfriend for over three years and every day is still AMAZING with her. I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today without her constant love and support for everything I want to do in life. I love my friends like I love my family. I'm a student at UCSB. What else could you want to know about me...oh, musical influences. I'm not incredibly into the hardcore or emo scene but I love any of it that i know. My musical taste tends to change a lot but you'll find that Murder By Death and anything that Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) does is always playing on my iPod. Music is the closest thing any of us have to pure communication. It's the only universal form of communication we have on Earth. Random facts: Up until graduation I was on the varsity Volleyball team at taft. I work at the cafe at the Calabasas pool during the summer. I love to write short stories. I'd love to hear some honest criticism, no yes-men/women. I LOVE the Baltimore Ravens. Fuck you Colts! I love movies. I can't name them all but The Departed, Office Space, Fight Club, and Gangs of New York are WAY up there. I love comedians. Mitch Hedberg, Gary Gulman, Daniel Tosh, and Jim Gaffigan are Gods. Speaking of God, I'm not religious at all. Anything you see about me that has to do with religion is purely satirical. I don't believe in anything at all. The universe is too uncertain to place any concrete belief on anything. Beliefs start wars. Thanks to all of our fans and any supporters who have helped us get to where we are and have spread our name around like wildfire. Keep it up. Love, Travis
