"Why these guys aren't more well known I do not know! I live near Venice where they used to play a lot, and yet I didn't even hear much about them here! They seem to have NO record company promotion at all, and it's a shame.
I suppose it's because their "sound" is not the crap that is popular these days, it's more like Crosby Stills and Nash and the Eagles, but they are fantastic!
Their version of Guinevere is the best version I've ever heard, even better than Crosby Stills and Nash's own version! (And Crosby helps them out on their version here.) It also features a track by and with Jackson Browne.
This band makes just plain great music and if you love great vocals, you will love it. And by the way, their songwriting is great, too."
Honest, clean and pure music!

"Venice is a band of four guys just making great music! Clean vocals in close harmony, supported by beautiful and honest guitarplay. No nonsense music from the Westcoast. Slow ballads, sometimes almost countryish, but also very solid and cutting the edge up tempo rock. Yet, this CD only contains 'em all in accoustic style. Recorded in Harderwijk, The Netherlands, for a TV show called 2 Meter Sessies.
It's just great!
This is what music should be. No stuff that don't matter, but just music. In a way Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young used to do. Or maybe the Eagles en the Beatles. There are all little pieces of it to be heared on the CD. Acceptable though, because it's sometimes brought with a wink, but seriously dedicated and full of sense and emotion."
