Vendettas

"'The first record I have for you this week comes from the Vendettas. Never heard of 'em? Well, I hadn't till this week either.'" The Vendettas was a garage rock band from Atlanta, Georgia: members were Buffi Aguero (guitar, vocals); Johnny Vignault; Sam Leyja; and Susanne Gibbonney. They released one single on 360 Twist called Can't Stop. They followed this up with an eponymous LP featuring both sides of the single and then appear to have morphed into other bands.

Gasoline had a casual swagger and garage band leanings: John played it several times; On its first spin he referred to it as having come from the Americas during the week and then immediately apologising for using an outdated expression. After playing it, he commented on Gibbonney's attire: "Her doing all of the yelling appears to perform on stage in some kind of bathing costume, so if you buy the record, you might be able to get her enough money to buy her some clothes."
