THE RODS — the classic '80s metal band led by Ronnie James Dio's (DIO, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL) cousin, guitarist/vocalist David "Rock" Feinstein — is planning two summer shows in central New York. The first concert will take place at The Haunt in Ithaca on Saturday, June 19. Doors open at 6 p.m. $10 per person — all ages. Advance tickets are on sale now at Haunt.com. The show will feature lots of new songs from the forthcoming THE RODS album, "Vengeance". Warm-up will be BLUE MONDAY from central New York, with special guest Billy Golicki on bass and vocals. The second concert will take place on Friday, July 23 in Cortland on Main Street for the 2010 Main Street Music Series at 6 p.m. This will be a free show (all ages),but donations are welcome. Support will come from BLUE MONDAY.

THE RODS was interviewed on the February 6, 2010 edition of "The Mental Metal Show" hosted by DJ Metalgod. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.

THE RODS was scheduled to shoot its very first HD-DVD at the legendary The Haunt nightclub in Ithaca, New York in May 2009. This performance was in support of THE RODS' forthcoming CD, "Vengeance", which features Ronnie James Dio's vocals on selected tracks. The show was also a precursor to the band's appearance at last year's Headbangers Open Air festival, which was held July 23-25, 2009 in in Brande-Hörnerkirchen, Germany.

THE RODS' lineup includes Feinstein on guitar/vocals, Garry Bordonaro on bass and Carl Canedy on drums.
