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.
The Vendettas
