Synopsis

Amazon.com
Two notes into Spin Art and it's apparent this quartet takes its name from the ocean-side Southern California community, not the ancient Italian city. The 13 songs included in Spin Art evoke comparisons to the early 1970s California sound spearheaded by the likes of the Eagles and Jackson Browne. Venice, though, fits more in a second-tier grouping that includes Poco, America, Pure Prairie League, and Seals & Crofts. Most of the group's originals (most shepherded by Michael Lennon with help from his brethren Venetians) feel like they could have been programmed on the station WKRP in Cincinnati. Put on Spin Art and you'll feel like you're traveling down Highway 1 backwards in time with the top down and the FM coming in clear. --Steven Stolder

Doesn't get any better than Venice
Jeff S. Griffith | 12/14/2005

"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 might just be the history of easy rock....

"I believe Venice is a great artist. This may be strange because most of my favorite bands are punk and hardcore, and plus I'm a kid! To me it seems Venice would appeal to mostly adults. I'm surprised Venice isn't very popular, because they deserve to be more recognized. Another problem is that people hear Venice and don't realize how good it really is, because they compare it to other bands they listen to. The trick is to not compare, and you hear a great artist. Spin Art really brings out the best of this artist in songs like "The World Upon My Back" and "Mary On My Mind." I give Venice 5 stars and if I could, I'd give them more!"
