There's been a lot of gossip and rumors and questions going around, and while the band is not ready to make a full official announcement, I can at least confirm that Venice and Sony Records have indeed parted ways.  This move was amicable, and was initiated by Venice, and they're extremely happy about this positive new direction.  They were not "dropped."  There are big plans being set into motion that I can't discuss yet, but have no fear, the album will be released on schedule, and the tour will follow.  Watch this page for further news as events develop.
