Following the release of their new album 'American Illusion' / music videos 'Unforeseen', 'Free Will' and summer 2013 tour dates with SLASH - one of the most promising hard rock bands on the scene VENREZ have been confirmed for an upcoming European tour with BUCKCHERRY and HARDCORE SUPERSTAR.

"This band took the audience by the soul and shook them. Venrez has a presence second to none on stage" - Screamer Magazine

Frontman Ven says "The band and I had an amazing time throughout Europe when we toured in 2010 and 2011. We met some of the greatest music fans in the world that still write to me all the time and have supported us though our firsttwo releases. Now with this new album, "American Illusion", we have our best material to date and the band has never been tighter. I think everyone who comes to see us again will say it was worth the wait. Those seeing us for the first time will not be disappointed either." Guitarist Alex Kane adds "This tour in Europe with my second favourite band Buckcherry and the ever amazing Hardcore Superstar will DESTROY! We'll see you if you believe in rock n' roll!"

The raw and rocking sounds of Venrez's new album 'American Illusion' harkens back to a time before ProTools and 'American Idol'. In other words it's the sound of a real rock band, all in the studio together, letting it rip in unison. Comprised of singer Ven, guitarists Jason Womack (formerly of Juliette Lewis and the Licks) and Alex Kane (formerly of Life Sex and Death (LSD) and Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg) bassist Michael Bradford and drummer Ed Davis (formerly of Juliette Lewis and the Licks) Venrez record their tunes live in the studio.

"'Unforeseen' (states the group's leader Ven, who is nearly as recognized for his striking resemblance to Howard Stern as for his rock n roll) is my favourite track on 'American Illusion'. It's brutally heavy and demanding to play right. It's 'At The Drive In' meets 'Alice in Chains' and really reflects the experiences we've had touring the world together."
