Last Show of our Valentine's Day Tour!

We had a great turn out for last Friday's show and we want to thank everyone who came down to hear us. There was a big contingent from The Westhampton Free Library:Matt, Jen, Barbara, Leslie, Laureen, and probably some others I'm forgetting. It was also our biggest turn out at the Westhampton Bowl to date, so thank you! As I predicted, the potential for room is great and our audience got larger with each appearance.

In the house was Dave K. of Blush and my former band mate in The Next. Another former band mate "Dangerous Dave" Stadnicki from the Hackensack Men, sat in with us on two tunes, "Marie Marie"from The Blasters, and Wilson Pickett's "634-5789". He sounded great!

We are not scheduled to appear at the Westhampton Bowl again until the summer, but check this website for our public dates. We will be coming to play Rockabilly to your town soon. Hell, we'll play in your freakin' house! Remember that the difference between a party and a really good party is The Vendettas.

Return of "The Dish"!

After "being away" for almost two months Jerry "The Dish" Silverstein will make his triumphant return to the stage at our last schedualed appearance at Westhampton Bowl, this Friday February 15th at 9:00 PM. Our attorneys have advised us to say as little as possible regarding the Dish's whereabouts for the last two months so let's just call it a "vacation" and leave it at that.

Our last show at "the Bowl" as we like to call it was a great success and we would like to thank all who came down including two members of the great band "Collarbone": singer Alex Mckenna and drummer Dave Elliot. If Lorin were there we could have had a full reunion. Also in attendence were staff members of the Westhampton Free Library and some people who were bowling and just wandered in to see what all the noise was about. We thank all who came.

I recently saw a group called the Church Boys at the Vail Levitt Music Hall in Riverhead New York. Chris the bass player in an original memeber of The Vendettas and has joined us on stage several times in the last year. His new band is a lot of fun, playing mostly originals plus some great garage rock classics. Check them out if you can and check out the music hall which will be showcasing bands every third Thursday. We need places like this that are opened to bands and support original music. Try to support it by visiting when you get the opportunity.

Please join us Friday for an evening of rockabilly and rock and roll. We try to make the shows different so we will be adding in some songs we have never played and the bowling alley before.
