For those of you who never had a chance to pick up Venice's "Blue
Paint" DVD (which is pretty much everybody outside of its
U.S. release), I've now posted the full version of the behind-the-scenes
featurette, "Making Blue Paint." Check that out
here. (Hint - it looks
pretty good when resized to full screen!)

Exciting news from Michael Lennon:

Hello everybody out there in computer land! I'm eager to announce an upcoming and historical Venice show. On Saturday, November 12, 2005, 7pm-11pm, Venice will be playing a live concert in Venice, at the old Pioneer Bakery on Rose Ave.(5 blocks from the beach, west of Lincoln Blvd.). The event will celebrate the birthday of Abbot Kinney (founder of the City of Venice), the city of Venice Centennial, and most importantly, will raise money to build and install a new "Venice" light trestle. This is a lighted sign that will drape across Windward Ave. where it intersects with Pacific Ave. in Venice. You can see a picture of the old sign on the cover of our album, "Born and Raised." Also, the back of the B&R album shows us on barstools in the intersection where the sign will be placed......picture it above and behind us, hanging across the street from the buildings on either side. The sign will also be solar powered.......cool, huh? There is some interesting history behind this event. Pioneer Bakery was built in Venice in 1917, the same year that our Grandfather, Herbert Lennon, moved his family to Venice Beach. I and five other family members have worked at this bakery over the years. We have known the Garacochea family, who founded Pioneer Bakery, for the last 35 years. In December of this year, the bakery is due to be torn down in order to build a new bakery along with restaurants, shops, etc. So this event will also be a farewell to this historical building. Venice, the band, is a proud sponsor of this event, along with Pioneer bakery, the Venice Chamber of Commerce, the Venice Community Trust and the Venice Centennial committee. We feel privileged to give something back to our great city. If the above information is not enough to
entice you to take the plunge, then how about this? PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO LIMITED CAPACITY, TICKETS WILL BE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS Tickets can ONLY be purchased by phoning (310)
281-3162, or by visiting the following website: Hope to see you there! |
