On Saturday, February 23, Venice's Michael and Mark Lennon will join John Vester at Trilogy Guitars, for an 8pm concert celebrating the pre-release of John's new album, "All the Way Out West."  The address is 143 Culver Blvd., in Playa Del Rey, CA.  This intimate venue only holds 60 people, so expect an immediate sell out.  To order tickets, phone Ryan at Trilogy Guitars at (310) 305-7577, or e-mail him at ryan@trilogyguitars.com.

By the way, the album was co-produced by John and Michael Lennon, and features all of the members of Venice.  You can order a copy at either johnvester.com or novatunes.com.

So hey, there are these Venice videos that I shot and edited a couple of years ago that we've been sitting on ever since.  At first, we were talking about maybe releasing these as a bonus DVD that would be provided free with the purchase of the "Amsterdam" album.  That idea was rejected, so our next thought was to provide them as exclusive multimedia tracks on CD singles.  Kind of like b-sides, only they'd be video instead of audio.  The label wouldn't go for that either.  So we've been waiting, trying to figure out a way to put these things out there that made sense.  And now, of course, the "Amsterdam" CD has gradually run its course and everyone's focus has now moved on to the next one.  So rather than just delete and forget about the files that I worked so hard on once upon a time, I've decided to post them here on Venice Central, for free.  I'm sorry that they're not exactly timely, but I hope you guys will enjoy them anyway.  Click here.

Last month, Venice recorded a cover version of the America song, "Horse with No Name," for a Japanese television commercial.  Now our friend Jon DeLong has sent over a link to that ad.  Click here.
