Two years ago I cut them back in Sept. but they didn't grow for ages, so I left them lastt year and they look dead and very tall.

The right time to cut down deciduous grasses is late winter or early spring, before the new shoots start to appear. So as Trees says - do it ASAP!

I would cut them down now. Chances are they will be sending up small new shoots as I answer your question.
