Venice drummer Jamie Wallum and ex-Tories lead singer Steve Bertrand have a new project together, a 7-song CD entitled "Joyride."  I've heard it and it's really good.  It can only be purchased through the internet, at stevebertrand.com.  This site also offers audio clips.

Got a nice piece of news from Kipp Lennon.  I'll let the man speak for himself:

So excited!  I just got a call today from the Laker offices.  A week from tonight, Venice will be singing the National Anthem at the Laker game.  It's a playoff game against the Portland Trailblazers, and the joint should be jumpin'.

So that's Thursday, April 25, probably around 7:25ish.  I have no idea whether the song will be televised, but check out the broadcast just in case.
