in order to get airtime, which include singing in Spanish. Airtime in the country is divided in two, 70% Spanish singing national bands and 30% for other languages and international bands." This single was included in that 30%, competing with the best bands around the world. "Mourning Days" also received airtime as Anywheres second single. On October 5, 2007, Verona won an Urbe award for "Best Non-Capital Band," i.e. nominated and voted by the public as the best band in Venezuela that is not from Caracas. Verona could not compete in the nomination for “Best Capital Band” since all band members are from another state. On March 20, 2008, Anywhere was released. It has twelve tracks. Urbe magazine (the most important alternative newspaper in the country) placed Anywhere in the top five albums in Venezuela. To support the release of Anywhere, Verona started a national tour which also included three acoustic live performances in California and Florida. A successful Stone Temple Pilots tribute in Caracas, sponsored by La Mega Radio Station, followed the tour. "Silent Night" cover and new album recording (2009) The members of Verona have not worked together since their last show in 2009. Although they have been seen together at a few concerts, Atari made a special guest appearance at The Ataris show on July 22. He was invited to play guitars in "Takeoffs and Landings" and "In This Diary," while the Indiana band performed in Caracas as a part of their Latin American tour. The band occasionally got together in studios to record their next album. During the process of recording the next album, they recorded a Christmas cover song that was included in their December setlist; Josef Mohr's "Silent Night." It was released for free download on December 3 on the band's official website. Meanwhile, Diaz and Goitia participated in Mike Lemus' solo project and No Refuse's band in Punto Fijo.

This festival showcases hundreds of musical artists from around the world. Verona's showcase was on the Opal Divine's Freehouse venue. On April 19, 2010, Diaz was formally announced as Candy 66's new bass guitar player on their official web page. He left Verona on September 11, 2010.
