"(They) have a sort of Rat Pack ease but without the Rat Pack meanness. They're fun to watch, fun to listen to..." -- Wenzel Jones, Back Stage West "They tend to do in a more modest way to Irving Berlin what Thelonious Monk did to swing... this pair can not be reproduced." -- Robert Koehler, Los Angeles Times "...among the wittiest vaudeville duos I can remember. Their renditions of such songs as "Oops I Did It Again" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" actually improved on the originals." -- Kristan Ginther, LA Weekly Ed Vs Pete is a modern (post-punk) vaudeville duo based in Los Angeles. The pair consists of Eddy Chavey (vocals & guitar) and Pete Punito (vocals, shakers, kazoo & song interpretation). The act began in 1999. While playing drunken peasants in a production of Strindberg's "Miss Julie", Chavey and Punito found they shared a strong affinity for old-school buddy songs and the great showmen of the Sinatra era. The two immediately began writing songs together. In 2002, the duo (playing as Natural Phenomenon Ocean) headlined a two month run of the acclaimed (L.A. Weekly Pick Of The Week) vaudeville review "Sideshow" at the James Whitmore Theater. In 2004-05, Ed Vs Pete can be seen at Masquers Cabaret, The Artist's Salon and other "lounge" venues. Sunday afternoons often find the guys busking on the streets of Larchmont Village or Hollywood.
