This is an obscure one - search the web for the Venturas or their label, Drum Boy Records, and you're not going to find much. However, the original artwork from their 1963 album has been released on CD with the original LP artwork, so there is a brief history of the short-lived band included. It's a pretty simple story - 5 teens in Chicago get together, decide to play instrumental rock n' roll, play a few local shows, recorded an album, and broke up soon after to face adulthood and it's obligations. Overall it's a nicely done set of surf/instro classics.
