Voila! For a long time I was looking for a cd by these guys. Now that I have it in my hands I know the search was worthy. Maybe you have read about the Lennon brothers... much probably you have read abouth their vocals. Truly impressive how these guys sing harmonies. "Spin Art" is an entertainment for your ears just like the Garnd Canyon is for your eyes. Acoustically driven classy pop/rock songs that draw sunny landscapes. VENICE keep the American sound delivered by bands like the Eagles et al. Definetly one of the best westcoast bands around.
The boys from Venice know how to ROCK! You cannot go wrong with any album. This band has more harmony and rythym than the Eagles, with a little kick! You will be blown away!
Venice beach is the beach located between Santa Monica and Marina Delray in L.A. coast area. The name of the group is taken from this beautiful California Beach Area where Lennon Family, the members of the band are living in. The sound style of the Venice is really Westcoast one, full of beautiful harmony vocals. It is my personal impression that their former album "Born And Raised" was a little bit too much folky comparing with their great live performance and their 2 Demo CDs "Garage Demos" released between their a little bit too much hard-edge 1st album and the aforementioned 2nd album "Born And Raised". On this 3rd album, they fully show their talents as the number one Westcoast Live Performing Band. Yes, This is the real Venice's music which only can be heard on "Garage Demos" and/or their live performances in L.A. local clubs. Now listen to the song titled "Garden Wall"! How about "Mary On My Mind" co-written by Bruce Gaitsch? How's the beautiful ballads "The Family Tree" closing this album ?
