THE MUSIC OF THE VENDETTA – The Highstool Prophets

Paying homage to the fact that so many of the lead characters In Vendetta 19’s earliest seasons and episodes Irish immigrants to Australia, we knew that we had to have a significant presence of Irish music in the pilot episode. But I didn’t for a second think we had a chance of attracting somebody with the size and presence as the Highstool Prophets. Celebrated around the world for their incredibly energetic sound and style, the Highstool Prophets have been blazing a trail on the Irish scene with a string of sold out shows, TV appearances and new music releases. We couldn’t be more grateful to them for contributing music to a key and final scene in the pilot. Please make sure you head over to their page and give them a follow as thanks for the incredible generosity.

SUCH AN AMAZING DUO

In the upcoming pilot of Vendetta 19, we have found some truly amazing on-screen partners, and one that should be watched with anticipation is that of Tom Levi, playing Squizzy Taylor, and Daniel Sultana playing William Edwards. As mates who were imprisoned together, Squizzy and Edwards both had female partners who worked together at Dolly Gray’s bordello, and both were imprisoned together in 1908.

Don’t miss the screening of Vendetta 19 in select cinemas this October to December.

A WEEK OF VENDETTA MUSIC!

This week we will be making some big reveals about the upcoming release of Vendetta 19 with the announcements about some of the musical composers who have agreed to come alongside this incredible production. The first cab off the rank is the amazing father of inner-suburban Australian folk blues, Billy Dettmer. We know you’ll be moved by his earthy, relatable, and above all else: Australian style of soul and blues, as he brings in the opening credits of the first episode we have filmed, titled “The First Seeds Sown”. We have been fortunate enough to have been able to secure use of one of Billy’s incredibly poignant tracks from his self titled album, and we can’t wait for you all to be moved by it when we screen the pilot episode of Vendetta 19 in select cinemas October to December 2024.

Please head over and give Billy a follow, and keep on sharing our posts!!

VENDETTA 19 – THE FIRST SEEDS SOWN

In 2024 production began on the pilot of a new TV streaming series the depicts the full lead up to the 1919 Fitzroy Vendetta.

Moving through the late 1890s with the rise of push gangs, the rise of the opium dens and Chinese lotteries, the dominance of the police unit known as the terrible 10 in 1900, the female matrix moved in to the landscape of the criminal underworld by 1905, and then the ultimate bloodbath that led to only one person remaining alive and not in prison, Vendetta 19 presents the most incredible Australian true crime story of all time.

As the Vendetta raged across Melbourne’s inner suburbs until the end of 1919 leaving only Squizzy Taylor as the most notorious organized criminal and True Crime figure alongside the likes of Al Capone’s, Ned Kelly, and the Kray twins.

Vendetta 19 will drop in selected cinemas across Melbourne and Adelaide in October 2024. Please share to your networks and follow Vendetta 19 for updates

A SHOUT OUT TO THE FAMILIES!

On the set of Vendetta 19, we have never lost sight of the fact that the content we are creating is a true story about real people who have families who are alive today and deeply connected to the work we are doing. Preserving their dignity and being able to present these stories in a way that gives truth and unbiased sympathy to all parties is extremely important to us.

We were truly blessed to have Josh drop by and meet the cast. As the great grandson of Squizzy Taylor, Josh has a deep connection to the production and has taken an intelligent and deep interest in what we are doing. We are extremely grateful to have him spend some time with the star of our show, Tom Levi, and talk about some of the finer qualities of his great grandfather. Make sure you give a gesture of thanks to the families who have contributed so much to this production.

Dolly’s descendants also dropped by to meet with Shylie Arzouan playing Dolly Gray and meet the rest of the cast. We were blessed to get a photo with both families, decades after their ancestors had made their mark on Melbourne in the 1900-1920s.
