We're Back...Again!

We have had a quiet winter and are looking forward to the spring and summer to get back to playing for our friends. We are making up the show we missed because of the one snow storm we had all season. Sunday the 29th we will be appearing with "Who Are Those Guys" and "Misspent Youth" at the Calverton Links to benefit RMTAS. They are raising money to build a no-kill animal shelter in Riverhead. Our singing drummer Lenny was, as a child, saved by a Collie dog when he fell down an old abandoned well. Fortunately for the young Lenny, the dog had a rope ladder with him.
The show starts around 1PM and will go until 7:00 PM. There is a $15 cover charge to help the project.

Cancelled

Due to the weather, today's show is cancelled. We will post the new date when it is announced.

Next Show!

First I would like to thank everyone who came to the Christmas show at Sachem Library. Hopefully this will become a Vendettas tradition. For those of you that missed the show we rallied a 10 piece version of The Vendettas on stage to play great Rock and Roll Christmas songs as well as our regular show. Pictures and video to come.

For the next bit of news The Vendettas have been invited to help out a group called RTMAS in Riverhead. They are trying to raise money for a no-kill animal shelter. We will be playing a fundraiser for them later this month We are playing two sets starting around 7:00 PM.
