On Friday February 17th, Villains played a sold out show at MOJO Main in Newark, DE. They were joined by Newark natives Robot House, Tail, Atlas and Mean Lady…. It was quite the sweaty time… SEE YOU IN MARCH!

So 2011 has passed. And for the band it was an incredibly busy and eventful year: Villains played in excess of 50 shows at new venues such as the Rock N Roll Hotel (Washington D.C.) to the World Cafe Live at The Queen Theater (Wilmington, DE), to PIANOS (NY, NY)! …They reeled in Halloween as Cream, playing 2 sets of favorites of the famed British rock band… They had guests and friends (too many to name) play and banter about on stage at most every show… Their debut album “Black Jackets” was released in March to much praise (Thank you!)

And it only gets better..

2012 is on the horizon for the band. It will be a year full of new songs, new venues, new special guests and new risks! To start off the year, the Villains will go back to their roots….. playing an underground house party in their former hometown of Newark on Sat. January 14th..

Their first “official” show will be “Rock The Barn” at the Arden Guild Hall. It will be the first time ever playing the historic, 150 year-old Guild Hall. They will be joined by Still Moon Servants, Stallions, and Revolution I Love You.

Doors at 7p.m.
Tickets:
$10 at the door
$8 (advance sales and Arden Club members)

Merrrrrry Christmas. This year Santa is reaching deep down into his sack and bringing all you little boys and girls a great big surprise.

This Friday marks Villains almost year anniversary of the their first Wedge Invasion. The cozy bar/restaurant in Landenburg, PA is a gem of a music venue: great food, great beer, and it’s always full of
people who are there to get down on original music !

This Friday the band will share the stage with Bobby E. Lee & The Sympathizers from Baltimore. The Sympathizers are promoting their debut album “‘Cause It Feels Good”, which will please anyone who is looking for an escape to the strange and filthy.

On SATURDAY OCTOBER 29TH, for what is sure to be one of Newark’s weirdest and most epic musical nights in a very long time..we ask the town to OCCUPY HOMEGROWN

Starting the night (9 p.m.) will be one of Newark’s hottest up & coming instrumental rock trios..TAIL. They will be joined on stage by friends as they portray THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE. Consisting of Jaret Salvat-Rivera on guitar, Tyler Yoder on bass, and Ryan Williams on drums, the band will take the music of Hendrix to a whole new level.

The Villains will follow with their own interpretation of one of the 1960s most influential bands, CREAM. Sure enough will you hear “Sunshine of Your Love”, along with many other gems in the CREAM catalog.

HOMEGROWN, as always, sports NO COVER. Saturday will be no different! Drink specials and a SECOND BAR for easy access to all the spirits.

Remember: RAGEFACE and watch out for kool-aid!

At the request of some of the band’s closest friends, they have been invited to play at CORNUCOPIA FESTIVAL in Poolesville, MD (right outside D.C.).

Come out to the country for a day of music, bbq, beer & wine and bonfires.. raffles and corn-hole tournaments will also be there- so bring some extra cash!!
