VENTURES BACK ON COMEBACK WAVE
VENTURES BACK ON COMEBACK WAVE
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (Wireless Flash) The Wise Guys new hit, Start The Commotion, is also causing a commotion with the 60s-era rock group, the Ventures. Start The Commotion which is featured on a commercial for the Mitsubishi Eclipse features a sample of the 1963 Ventures song, Wild Child, which has caused many fans to think the old tune is a new recording. In fact, the response has been so good the band may re-record the song, giving the Ventures its biggest chance for a chart hit since 1969s Hawaii 5-0. Capitalizing on the newfound attention may be difficult because the Ventures are touring Japan until mid-September. If all goes well, the Ventures will release a CD of hip-hop tunes sometime before the end of the year.
