Local Venice Band Meet me at the Pub.  About:  MEET ME AT THE PUB from Venice Beach, California, formed in 1999. Jeremy, Sully and Jack started playing their first shows at the Malibu Inn every Monday night, soon building a rapid local fan base with the local surfers and skaters. Their early shows helped the band find their true Southern California style combining’ melodic vocals, thumpin bass lines and thick beats. The band plays Reggae, Rock, Ska, Punk and even the odd waltz. Fans enjoy the spontaneous freestyles that keep the shows fresh and live every night.  Join them on facebook!

Venice Local Band:  Stevie Starlight.  Stevie is a young legend in the Venice / Westside music scene. His jaw dropping guitar playing and song craftsmanship have been amazing fans in Southern California for 10 years now. He has sound tracked his music in movies and has a catalogue of hits that last for hours. His stage presence is pure rock n roll and his performance schedule in SoCal alone rivals most touring acts. This summer will be a special season for Stevie Starlight with the release of his 2nd LP. With tens of thousands of ‘hits’ on Youtube, Myspace and Facebook Stevie’s underground reputation as the ‘unknown superstar’ is about to change.  http://steviestarlight.bandzoogle.com/
