Our Next Show!
Matty T's
356 Commack Rd
Deer Park, NY 11729-5523
(631) 667-6868

Join us for our first time at Roy Wilson's Rockabilly Night



The Vendetta's played our last show at the Chowder Pot in Greenport NY for the season. It was a great day. There was a ton of people there for the Maritime Festival and the band was joined onstage by the Peconic War Pipes for an inpromtue rendition of "Amazing Grace" which really couldn't have been more... interesting. Still they were good sports and we had a good time with them.
We also unveiled our Spy medley for the first time. I, as a general rule am opposed to the medley as a whole - however this genre seemed to lend itself to that format very well. It got a great response from the audience, come and hear it for yourself.

This Saturday, September 26th we will be appearing at Matty T's Road House for Rockabilly Night. We have been waiting to perform there since Lenny and I played at the Elvis Tribute this past Winter.
We are psyched to be playing there as well as to be playing with The Buzzards. We will be back at Matty T's at the end of November with The Blaggards.
We hope you will join us for our first show there!

Important Venue Change!

Sept 26th The Vendettas will not be appearing at Darrin's. We will instead, be playing at Roy Wilson's Rockabilly Night at Matty T's Road House at 356 Commack Rd in Deer Park. We will be playing with an excellent Rockabilly Band: The Buzzards. The show starts at 10 PM, we are not sure of the program yet, but as soon as we find out we will post our start time.

We are cranked up to be playing Rockabilly night, we hope to see our Western Suffolk friends there!

We will be back at Darrin's in Miller Place on Halloween night, with a special spooky show.

This weekend we are out in Greenport for the Maritime Festival at the Chowder Pot from 2-6 PM
It will be a great family day with shows, music, great food and vendors.

Vendettas Return to Rocky Point

The Vendettas will be bringing their Roots Rock and Roll and Rockabilly sound back to Fatty Beltbuckles in Rocky Point this Friday, September 11th at 10:00PM The place has great BBQ and is one of the best places locally that one can go to hear live music. Please support all of the bands that play there, but if you can only come to see one band, well, it should be us.

As we enter the beginning of Fall of 2009 we come up on a year that the Vendettas have been playing as a trio. Although it was a bit of a job to loose Lenny's rhythm guitar (he switched to drums) and Jerry's piano, the band was able to make the adjustment within a few shows. Lenny and Chin did outstanding jobs, changing their rolls, taking up the slack and generally keeping their sense of humor during the transition. In a way it makes total sense as many of the bands that we hold in such high regard and try like hell to emulate were trios too. You can't argue with success, have been playing more, learning the songs that the audience has been requesting and finding Rockabilly fans!

Checking out the hits on our website shows that we have people looking at the site and reading the blog from all over the country and all over the world: Ireland, France, South America and so on.

Sign up for our mailing list on our main page, book us, talk to us. Let us know if you have ideas about venues, songs, or other bands we should know about.
