Hiya Hiya Hiya Kids,

The Vendettas have mostly been laying low during the cruel winter, mostly due to Chin's house arrest. We do however, have some good news to report.
We have a brand new venue on the books, this month we will be making our first appearance at CB's in Hampton Bays, and then again in March right after the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

We also have some great library shows coming up. Check out all of the new dates on the sidebar on the right.

If you visit our website, you will see that it has been totally redesigned by our creative dept. (Chin, a lot of extra time on his hand) to be interactive. It is an inside look at what The Vendettas World Corporate Headquarters looks like.

Lenny and I were invited by NYRMA to participate in Gene vs. Eddie Rockabilly show, and we just played at the sold out Elvis Birthday Tribute at the Bolton Center. This was our third year playing the show and as always it was a great time. Lots of really talented people who donate their time for Rock Can Roll, a local food bank. This time we played onstage with The Long Island Hornets. They are a great band, check them out as soon as you get a chance.

We have spent this winter learning a bunch of new songs and even writing a few of our own. We will be breaking some of these out at our next show.

Bonus Show!


We have a late addition to our show schedule: We will be playing a full show at Fatty Beltbuckle's in Rocky point on Wednesday November 25th, the day before Thanksgiving. This hot on the heels of our unscheduled double bill with The Kerry Kearney Band at the same venue.

Following that we will be returning to Matty T's in Deer Park for Rockabilly night on the 28th, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We will be opening for The Blaggards who are just a great band and a really good bunch of guys. We met them last year at the Elvis show. It will be a great show, the bar is the only place where you can wear a cowboy hat or a pompadour and fit right in.

Speaking of The Elvis Show, The Vendettas have been invited to play at this years edition. The show will be ont Saturday, January 30th, 2010 at Hennesey’s Bar & Grill, located on Jericho Turnpike in Huntington Station. More details to come.
