related Venice bands. In 1989, Suicidal Tendencies re-recorded "It's Not Easy" for their 1989 album Controlled by Hatred/Feel Like Shit... Déjà Vu. The other Los Cycos track "A Little Each Day" was also included in the 1987 Suicidal Tendencies release "Join the Army" and again on "Still Cyco After All These Years" released in 93. In 2000, it resurfaced on the "FNG" compilation and a fourth time on 2008's (split) album "Lights...Camera...Revolution!/Still Cyco After All These Years". Mike Muir wrote the words, music and produced both Los Cycos tracks as well as the entire record. Since "Welcome to Venice" is out of print it is considered by record collectors to be a collectors item and is one of the most sought after recordings from that Venice skate punk era. Though it was almost thirty years ago, Los Cycos and Suicidal still remain a heavily influential part of the American punk and skate culture, for music and style. Los Cycos disbanded in 1985. In November 2004, Suicidal Tendencies posted on their official website rumors of a Los Cycos reunion and the release of "Return to Venice" a follow-up to 1985's "Welcome to Venice" featuring most of the previous bands. In 2003, Mike Muir had his first of two back surgeries for a ruptured, herniated disc, the other in 2005 is what thwarted that release as well as him having to cancel his Brazilian festival dates and any up and coming Suicidal shows. Since "Return to Venice" never materialized and pressure from the fans two-year wait started to mount, bassist Louiche Mayorga decided to put out "Welcome 2 Venice" in 2006, 21 years after its 1985 predecessor "Welcome to Venice" and formed the band "AgainST" just for the occasion. He recruited singer-songwriter Dan Clements (Excel founding member and frontman) and original Suicidal Tendencies/Los Cycos members; Grant Estes, Amery Smith and the former No Mercy vocalist Kevin Guercio. These recordings and the release and distribution was handled by Mayorga's independent label "Built on an Ounce".
