VacancY has its beginnings in 1997, when four guys from other bands came together to make music. After a year the loss of their singer set them back, yet they did not give up; instead moving forward with the members they had.

In 1999 they took a 9 month break, but were back together again in 2000. This is the year they took up the name VacancY. Even with their drummer leaving later that year, they kept moving forward into the future.

VacancY, in its current form, came about in the year 2005. The band calls Buffalo, New York home.
