And... we're back.






                             Above: Adam the sax player, Lenny and Jaybone playing with The Purple Gang. 


The Vendettas had a great time at the Elvis Tribute Show at Matty T's. We got to see and play with some of the best Rockabilly players on the Island. The show was great and they were able to raise a bunch of money for the homeless. If you missed the show or want to re-live it over and over again you can check it out on Youtube. Lenny and I perform "My Baby Left Me" in Part 2.
I would also encourage people to check out the scene at Matty T's on the last Saturday of every month for Roy Wilson's Rockabilly night. Roy is in a great band called The Buzzards, you should check them out if you get the opportunity. Watch for The Vendettas to be making an appearance at Rockabilly Night in the months to come.


It looks like the very first place to hire us and our home away from home is not shutting it's doors after all. Eastender's Coffee House, will in fact be moving to a new location in Riverhead. They will be continuing to host live music and I am assured we will be back. 
In the meantime we have a few shows coming up. We will be appearing at the Connetquot Public Library in Bohemia, NY on Sunday March 1st at 2:30 PM. On May 2oth we will perform at the Choices show at St Joseph's College in Patchouge, NY.  Also look for The Vendettas' Rock and Roll Dance Party at Roger's Beach in Westhampton, NY date TBA.
