Vendettas - ‘Too Many’ (mp3)

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.
Larissa went to school at Barker College in Hornsby, where she met Pete Mayes of PNAU. Pete got together with Canadian John Hardy of Soundworx Studio and they had the ideas of Vendettas for a number of years now, although probably with a different name. At one point they even considered doing stuff with Sia (now based in the UK), and rumoured to have a record deal in the works with a major for this project. Whether that’s true or not doesn’t matter because with recording this good it’s bound to be released soon. In the mean time enjoy this track and hit their MySpace for a couple more tasty tunes.
