LeSte’ who lives for performing live put the project together to help hold him over until the new Beautiful Creatures album is released. Recording of the group’s sophomore effort is reportedly completed and is currently being mixed in Los Angeles. A release date has not yet been set but a few labels including Sanctuary Music are hoping to win the bid to release the album. 

LeSte’ hopes to bring the Vagabonds to the Cat Club on a weekly basis until he hits the road with Beautiful Creatures to support their new album. Hollywood promoter Happenin’ Harry is more than happy to give his friend Joe a place to play and plans on booking the group as a regular attraction to his Wednesday Night promotion Happenin’ Harry’s HollyWeird at the Cat Club (sponsored by our sister site iconoMUSIC).  

Joe also headlined a sold out New Year’s Eve show with his other band Bang Tango at the Cat Club for Happenin’ Harry’s New Year’s Eve Bash. That performance was video taped and Harry hopes to have copies of the concert for sale via his website soon. 

Prior to last week’s debut performance from the Vagabonds the crowd was treated to a rare performance from The Rhythm Junkies, a group that features Rough Cutt’s Paul Shortino, guitarist Mitch Perry Of MSG, Edgar Winter & Talas along with former Great White and Quiet Riot bassist Sean McNabb and The Screaming Buddah Heads’ Ray Hernandez. 

The Rhythm Junkies warmed up the crowd with an impressive set of classic rock and blues before the Vagabonds took the stage to give the fans a dose of classic R&B.   

The Vagabonds and the Rhythm Junkies are both scheduled to play Happenin’ Harry’s HollyWeird at The Cat Club in Hollywood again this Wednesday (Jan 15th).
