For Every Door that Closes...Blah Blah Blah






Well , as many of you know, Fatty Beltbuckles, a venue where we have played monthly for almost a year has closed down. It would have been nice if we had gotten a phone call about the impending lock up so we could have posted the cancellation of our show earlier than an hour before our show but whatever. The bottom line is George supported us and gave us work even when we weren't drawing so well. Now that my initial rage has subsided I can say I wish him luck in his new joint. It is always sad when a local business goes under.

The good news is we have TWO new venues! The Fisherman's Rest in Cutchogue and Phil's Sports Bar in Wading River. The Fisherman's Rest has been a great place for us, they have music every week and the crowd is a music crowd, they dance they sing and get involved. We have a lot of fun playing there.

Phil's will be a return to my roots in a way. Some of the very first gigs I ever played were there with The Hackensack Men back when it was Judges Hotel. I was 19 then, that was a looong time ago.

Thanks for coming to see us, and we hope to see you at these new rooms.

Elvis Tribute Show! New Venues, New Dates!



Hey Everybody
Well the Elvis Show was a success, with somewhere in the ballpark of 40 performers and singers on stage and a tremendous audience (they had to turn people away at the door again this year). The food pantry was able to raise several thousand dollars and got hundreds of donations of canned goods for the needy. Thank you to everyone who came. We would also like to thank Steve Prisco of The Blaggards and The Purple Gang for inviting us again this year. It was great to be a part of the show. As with last years show, we met so many talented and gracious people. It was a pleasure to be there.

We also tried out a new venue, The Fisherman's Rest in Cutchogue. It is right on the main road in town. There is good food there and a great dancing crowd. We are there again next week, check the sidebar for date and time.

The Vendettas also have shows coming up at Phil's restaurant in Wading River, and North shore Public Library in Shoreham NY.
