Are you looking for the best band in orleans?

Then you should check out the band DriVen, they can be found on Facebook. If however you're looking for the... 7th? 6th? Ya know what screw it, one of the top five bands from Orleans, we are probably in there somewhere... Vette is here to bring the noise! Going from old classics by Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash all the way to Pop Punk with bands like Lit and Bowling For Soup. We do all sorts of bullshit, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, all the fun stuff.

Who are the dipshits?

Lets introduce the people that will make the super duper loud noises:

Alex Fitzak

(Guitar/Vocals)

Alex Fitzak started working the open mic scene to get his name out in the public. Having joined a couple groups that didn't quite get off the ground, he finally found his way into Vette, and he always brings the noise. Alex's strongest influence comes from when he first heard a solo that changed his whole life... it was David Gilmour's solo from Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". Wait that might be the band he doesn't like. Might've been Zepplin. I don't keep track of this stuff. Whatever, as long as he solos in key, who cares.

Kole Kely

(Guitar/Vocals)

Kole has spent a large amount of his life with the presence of music. His uncle Lonnie Froman is the front man of the local band "The Who Dats", and he is following in those footsteps. As the founding member of Vette, Kole's biggest musical influence is undoubtedly Taylor Swift. He has a guitar pick with her face on it that the other members of the band have seen him quietly whispering to when he thinks nobody is looking. We don't like to talk about it.

Travis Mackie

(Bass/Vocals)

Originally a drummer, multi-instrumentalist Travis Mackie has been part of all sorts of different projects since 2013. From guitar in "Terrible Ideas", to drums in "Delano Steele" and "Old sCool", he found his place as the sole lead vocalist to Vette, later splitting duties with Kole and taking on the bass. It is also very notable how unbelievable attractive and talented he is. He has the best hair, best jokes, the most charisma, and the exclusive access to making changes to this very website, so nobody can take this away from him dammit!

Shelby Starr

(Drums/Screaming Loudly)

It all started when she was eight years old. Eating a pack of Skittles, one of the orange ones fell onto the ground in her living room. She leaned over to pick it up and as she leaned upwards, she smacked the back of her head on the living room table. That was her first discovery of the magic of percussion. I mean it was that, and having seen Shiela E drumming for Ringo's All Starr band. Since that day, she has sworn that she was going to bang on everything in her sight for the rest of her life. She didn't word it quite right, she means drumming. Don't make this weird, reader. She joined the group "Sister's Insane" at the age of 18. She would eventually find her way to Vette, and she's been the only reason people have seen our shows ever since.

Well this looks like a rootin' tootin' time, when and where are you playing, and can I get in on that shindig?
