As readers of this blog know, I'm a big fan of an L.A.-based rock 'n' roll band called Big Daddy. The group was founded on the inarguable principle that there really hasn't been any good rock recorded since…oh, about the time J.F.K. was shot. To put things right, they take songs written after that date and rearrange them into the style of songs recorded before that date. Needless to say, some of them sound better that way.
They're performing live a week from this Sunday — April 14! — at Vitello's restaurant out in Studio City. Vitello's got kinda famous as the place Robert Blake and his wife dined just before she was, uh, mysteriously murdered right nearby. It should be known as a place that serves fine Italian chow and has a great, intimate performing space upstairs. For less bucks than you might think, you can dine on their fine cuisine and take in a great show…like the one I'm sure Big Daddy will do there a week from Sunday. I've seen them there before and I will be there on the 14th. If you want to be there on the 14th, click this link and get yourself some tickets.
Want a sample of what they do? I've posted this before but the old link went bad so here it is again. This is their version of "My Heart Will Go On," the love theme from the movie, Titanic. I prefer the way they do it to the way Celine Dion did it…
