“The energy and charge of the music cast its spell on every one of us in the audience...”
“You gave the performance of a lifetime...”
“The Deadly Nightshade sidles into the song -- sly, back-alley, side-street truckin’ music with the hint of burlesque gum-popping, hip-swaying strut and flounce... ”

And the events that led up to it...
As some of you already know, The Deadly Nightshade reunited in the Summer of 2008 to play two gigs. One of these was held at the Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) in Western MA's Pioneer Valley, our original stomping grounds. The other was in Long Island, at a concert for the North Fork Women for Women Fund. (As an aside, the last time any of us had played together was a brief reunion in 1984, when we performed at both the National Women's Music Festival and the New England Women's Music Festival.)
So our plan in 2008 was just to see how things went, and then figure out where to go — if anywhere — from there.
Well it couldn't have gone better. Both venues were sold out, we got to spend time with some fantastic people we hadn't seen for many years, we had a wonderful time playing. And hey, with all the energy we expended, we lost a collective 12 pounds.
So we decided to do it again in the Summer of 2009. And again in July 2010.
In 2011, we took the plunge... going back into the studio to start working on a new album. We can’t say enough about the amazing Roma Baran and Vivian Stoll Productions (Roma produced Laurie Anderson’s “O Superman” and later albums, and Viv has been nominated for a Canadian grammy for Penny Lane’s recent CD).
In 2012, we released our new CD, titled “Never Never Gonna Stop” amidst much rejoicing. It includes newly recorded songs as well as some very cool vintage video footage which highlights our former RCA recorded hits. On October 20th, we played a soft CD launch gig at IMA in Goshen, NY, followed by a private Halloween party on the 27th.
Then, right when we were gearing up for our grand CD Release Party, Hurricane Sandy came along. With much regret, we had to cancel everything, however we are eternally grateful that New York (and all of us too) made it through the storm.
