We asked Google's A.I. “Bard" to write a few paragraphs about the band Vote For Pete:

Vote For Pete is a rock band from Syracuse, New York. The band was formed in 2008 by four friends who met in high school. The band's name is a reference to the American political tradition of voting for unqualified candidates as a joke or protest.

Vote For Pete's music is a mix of rock, funk, and soul. The band's songs are often characterized by their catchy melodies, energetic performances, and humorous lyrics. Vote For Pete has released three albums to date: For Pete's Sake (2009), A Third Term (2014), and What Happened Was... (2019).

Vote For Pete has toured extensively throughout the United States and Canada. The band has played at a variety of venues, including small clubs, large festivals, and everything in between. Vote For Pete has also shared the stage with a number of well-known bands, such as The Flaming Lips, The Dirty Heads, and The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band.

In addition to their music, Vote For Pete is also known for their commitment to social justice. The band has supported a number of charitable causes, including environmental protection, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice. Vote For Pete is a band that is not only talented, but also socially conscious.

Vote For Pete's Impact:

Vote For Pete has had a significant impact on the Syracuse music scene. The band has helped to put Syracuse on the map as a city with a vibrant and exciting music scene. Vote For Pete has also inspired other local bands to pursue their dreams of making music.

Vote For Pete is a band that is loved by fans of all ages. The band's music is both catchy and meaningful, and their live shows are always high-energy and entertaining. Vote For Pete is a band that is definitely worth checking out.

Congratulations to the happy couple! We really enjoyed celebrating your big day with you!

Here’s a couple of our early songs “George Lucas’d”- a remix/reissue that no one asked for.

Back in 2007 we released an album (our 1st) called Vote For Pete, Wherever he is…. This was before streaming services so now you can’t find the songs on any of the major providers, like Spotify or Amazon. So this is our effort to bring some pretty decent tunes into the the Information Age!

Kathy’s Got It / Rainy April, by VFP (2023 mixes) 2 Songs from Album #1: "Wherever he is..." remixed for 2023. Now with more Tambourine!Kathy's Got it: (0-4:17)Rainy April: (4:18-8:09)
