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.

Come for the Pork-Stay for the Rock and Roll

The Vendettas Sell Out!

Our Next Show:  The Chowder Pot

104 3rd St
Greenport, NY 11944-1610

(631) 477-1345

We are celebrating our first sold out show!  Our performance at the Roger's Beach Pavillion was completely sold out of all 130 tickets two weeks before the show date. We were happy to be a part of the Summer concert series sponsored by the Westhampton Free Library and owe a big "Thank You" to Nola Thacker and Leslie Millrod who brought us on board. 

We were also fortunate to have Adam Tese join us for the beach show. We met him at the Elvis Tribute Show last Winter, he is a fine Rock and Roll sax player and a hell of a nice guy. Hopefully we will see him on some of our shows in the future. Speaking of the future, our next show is a new venue for us: The Chowder Pot in Greenport, NY.  I hear the food i

s great and we will find out for sure this

 Saturday, July 18th at 7:00 PM.

Private Party and Guest Stars

OK "star" is such a subjective term, but we did get to play with some other fine musicians at a private Fourth of July party held by a local brewer.  We had Pat Rotolo, the "Adam Clayton Guy" from the excellent tribute band 2U, and we had Andrew Bollerman the ferocious Long Island Punk band, The Rebel Dead, sitting in on drums, such as they are. Lenny's truncated drum set can be disorienting to other drummers, but Andrew persevered.

     As I have said before, we love playing private parties, we get a crowd that is into the music, that gets what we are doing, and will dance. "How do I get The Vendettas to play my private engagement?" you might ask.  Drop us a line right here, we'll play at you freaking house!

I Gotta Get a New Shirt!

Thanks to all of the people who came to see the show at Darin's in Miller Place this past Saturday. And a special thanks to the folks from Longwood Public Library who came down to shake it up. There was a special Bo Diddley song for them and the other librarians who showed up.  There was a great turn out, it was good to see people dancing. We had a Winters worth of Kierkegaardian angst to blow off, and so we did with a new set. 

We will be back at Darin's for three more dates this Fall including a Halloween show!

Look for us June 26th at Fatty Beltbuckles in Rocky Point

Summer Tour!

It is a tour in as much as we leave our homes to go somewhere else to play music. It is exciting for us because we have some new local venues and we hope you will come to every single one, buy lots of drinks (but not too many) and dance a whole lot. This helps us keep the gig. You can also expect a new show with new songs (for us) and new shoes! 

Come down and hear us at Fatty Belt Buckles in Rocky Point, Darin's in Miller Place and The Chowder Pot in Greenport!

You will also notice that we have some private parties scheduled. These are some of our favorite shows to do, backyard parties, house parties, pool parties, weddings! Don't feel left out. Have The Vendettas at your next shindig!  Don't think you can't afford us, you can! Don't think we will eat all of your food, we won't. Don't think we will want to sleep over, we have homes!
