Vendettas – ‘Running’ (mp3)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Vendettas combines the very hip talents of Peter Mayes of PNAU and John Hardy of Soundworks Studios, who recently produced the new records by Van She, The Valentinos and Children Collide. I’m very selective when it comes to listening tunes from the so called ‘new rave’ movement, this song though makes the cut. Singer Larissa’s voice reminds me of a lot of mid 80s pseudo-club/rock tunes which I’m not a particularly big fan of but the chorus is just too catchy to ignore. Played at full club volume this song can be easily dropped to most hipster DJs setlist. Rumours are they already had a deal with a major label in Australia. They’ve got a few gigs coming up in Sydney but I’ve yet to meet someone who’s seen them live, though they will play a lot more support slots in the next few months.

  2. Dom Alessio says:

    Hey Marcus – from what I know there’s no album available, but all their MP3s are available for download from their MySpace site.

    That was my first impression too

    Finally gave this a good listen today. I really like it. It’s totally 80’s, but i don’t mind that. I’ll be trying to make their gig at Spectrum this week.

  6. [...] Since posting their party track ‘Running’, Vendettas has been picked up by several blogs and got airplay on Caroline Tran’s Australian music show Home and Hosed on Triple J Radio. I have had the pleasure of a short conversation with Larissa Rate, vocalist for the five piece band based out of Sydney. Larissa’s background is in acting and theatre which she did for three years but quickly found out wasn’t for her, so she fell into music. In 2002-2003 she joined the band Prostitutes which was Simon Day of seminal Aussie band Ratcat. Last I heard of this band it evolved into The Subtitutes but I am uncertain if they are still active now. [...]

    Note the name-change, The Vendettas are now known as The Hate Game.

    Same great sound though, and apparently recording an EP right now.

    I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Vendettas, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

  10. Izzi says:

    where tha hell are the Vendettas? Hate Game are some hardcore band! All the links here are rubbish!! Did The Vendettas release anything? I’ve only got a few of their tunes from myspace, but all traces of this band are gone!?

  11. snob dj's says:

    i mailed larissa a while ago:

    Hey

    Sorry ive taken a while to get back to you – just so
    you know, ‘the hate game’ is no longer. I left to work
    on a solo project. I haven’t named my new project yet
    so I can’t tell you to look out for me….ill try to
    remember to let you know when I post my new tracks on
    myspace.

    all the best
