PERSBERICHT: 28-04-2005 "Venice krijgt zijn Family Tree in Enschede" Op 13 mei 2005 is het 5 jaar geleden dat in Enschede de vreselijke vuurwerkramp plaats vond. Enschede was in diepe rouw en geschokt. Veel mensen vonden troost in muziek en vooral in het nummer Family Tree van de Amerikaanse groep Venice. Tijdens het destijds gehouden Benefiet concert op het terrein van de Universiteit Twente kon je een speld horen vallen toen Venice het nummer Family Tree inzette. Daarna zijn zij nog regelmatig terug geweest om in Enschede concerten te geven en het lied is echt een Enschede lied geworden. Op 13 mei a.s. zal Venice in het Muziekcentrum te Enschede wederom een concert geven. Ook hier zal het stil zijn als het nummer Family Tree wordt gezongen. Om de band die er bestaat tussen Enschede en de groep Venice te bevestigen zal er iets heel bijzonders gebeuren. Op die dag zal de gemeente Enschede een echte Family Tree aanbieden aan de band. Dit zal 's middags om 17.00 uur plaats vinden. De plek waar de boom is geplant is op het herdenkingspark Lasonderbleek. Dit is gelegen in de driehoek: De Tollensstraat, Lonnekerspoorlaan en de Roomweg. Het gebeuren vindt plaats na de officiële herdenkings plechtigheid in Enschede. Voor info over het gebeuren kunt u voor het officiële herdenkingsgedeelte contact opnemen met mevr van Gils. 053-4817089 Voor de activiteiten rondom Venice kunt u contact opnemen met Tonnie Buitink: 06-53397976 Het concert zal plaats vinden in het Muziekcentrum te Enschede en zal beginnen om 20.30 uur.

Press Release: April 28, 2005 "Venice Gets Its Family Tree In Enschede" On May 13, 2005, 5 years of suffering will have taken place in Enschede since the terrible firework tragedy. Enschede has been shocked and in deep mourning, but many people have found consolation in music, and especially in the song "The Family Tree" by the American group Venice. During the subsequent benefit concert in the area of the University Twente, you could hear a pin drop during Venice's performance of "The Family Tree." Afterwards, Venice has returned to Enschede regularly to give concerts, and the song has really become an Enchede song. On May 13, Venice will give another concert at the Music Center in Enschede. Here too, it will be silent when "The Family Tree" is sung. To commemorate the link that exists between Enschede and the group Venice, there will be a special event. On that day, the municipality will award the band a real Family Tree. This will take place at 17.00. The spot where the tree will be planted is on the commemoration park Herdenkingspark Lasonderbleek. It will be planted in the triangle: De Tollensstraat, Lonnekerspoorlaan en de Roomweg. This will take place after an official commemoration ceremony in Enschede. For information concerning the event, please contact the official commemoration ceremony, at 053-4817089. For the activities surrounding Venice, you can get in touch with Tonnie Buitink: 06-53397976. The concert will take place in the Music Center in Enschede at 20.30. Information can be found at www.podiumtwente.nl. With warm regards, |

A quick correction. Apparently "Met het Oog op Morgen"
will be recorded and broadcast live between 11pm in the evening
and midnight. Not in the afternoon, as previously reported.
I apologize for any inconvenience this misinformation might
have caused.

If you live in California and you haven't gotten your tickets
yet for this Saturday's show, you're not gonna want to miss this
one. It's Venice's triumphant return to the Galaxy Theater,
a fun venue with great sound and raked seating, so nobody ever
has trouble seeing the stage. Venice's new CD, "Pacific
Standard Time," will be on sale, and since this album is
not yet available in American stores, it's a rare opportunity
to pick up a copy without paying shipping prices. The backup
band will consist of Matt Laug on drums, Mark Harris on bass and
Chris Horvath on keyboards, a perfect lineup. And the opening
act is none other than fan favorite Tim Moyer, who will be selling
his own brand new CD, "Just Me," at this show for the
very first time! If you've got any friends or family who
have never been to a Venice show, bring them to this one and they're
guaranteed to have a great time and leave as fans. What
are you waiting for? Are you still here reading this? Turn
off your computer, race over to Ticketmaster, and get yourself
some tickets!
