Taken from First Avenue:

"A band biography usually referred to as a “bio” is a group of words that attempt to put a group of musicians and their collaborations into simpler terms that describe them and their performances and creations. So what words could ever describe Ventana? A culmination of efforts from Rick “stitch” Thomas of Mushroomhead, Daniel Fox, Scott Beck, Tom Shaffner, with lyric contributions by Matt Foran and Kyle Kotarski.

Self-produced with the help of MUSHROOMHEAD mastermind Steve “skinny” Felton, their collaborations contain the influences and professionalism to be expected from such affiliations. {Spanish for Window} VENTANA represents a time where we see not only the past, but also a slight reflection of our future in the dusty glass. Our efforts exist for no other reason but to bring back the type of music that inspires the listener to turn a negative situation into a positive one. The music of honesty, the music of brutal sincerity that allowed us to follow our hearts into the whirlpool that is “The Industry”."


Starting in Ohio, U.S.A in 2004, Ventana released quite a few demo's and EP's before releasing their debut album, "American Survival Guide, Vol. 1" in 2009.

The bands longest tenured members are "Rick "St1tch" Thomas" and Daniel "Lil' Dan" Fox.


The band would continue to tour and release singles, and then they would release their second album, "The Silent Majority" in 2017, followed by their latest release, "The Nature of Betrayal" in 2021. 
The band celebrated their 20th Anniversary by playing a show January 2024.


Ventana have mostly used gas masks in their appearance, but have also used other types of masks and face paint.

Members of the band have gone on to play in Mushroomhead, A Killer's Confession, (Hed) P.E, American Head Charge, The Autumn Offering and more.

Authors Note:

I decided not to do an in depth bio on Ventana, as I couldn't find many group images, and they have a revolving door line up.
