Quote :: Former House Of Lords Guitarist Auctioning Guitars, Rare Memorabilia

Los Angeles, California (August 17, 2007) -- Former House of
Lords/Giuffria guitarist Lanny Cordola is auctioning off two guitars
and various clothing – items he obtained during his exploits in the
80s.

Cordola, who is heavily involved in the production of a documentary on
jazz legend John Coltrane, as well as an in-demand producer/composer
in Europe, is in the process of renovating his residence and felt the
need to clean house.

"Basically, I need to make room for film editing and recording
equipment," the guitarist stated. "It only seems fitting that I pass
along some of the things I've amassed over the years to fans and
collectors."

A spokesperson for Cordola added: "These are one-of-a-kind artifacts
any Lanny Cordola fan will cherish. There's the infamous 1981 Ibanez
Destroyer that Lanny used as a member of Mondo Cane and Giuffria. We
also have a Fender acoustic guitar personally autographed to Lanny by
the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson in 1989."

The spokesperson cited various articles of clothing on the block, much
of it worn by Cordola during the 1988-89 House Of Lords tour. "There's
a really nice red leopard print motorcycle jacket that Lanny wore in
the video shoot for 'Love Don't Lie.' We also have a beautiful black
studded trench coat and leather pants he donned during the House Of
Lords tour."

Additionally, Cordola is parting with two jackets and a sweater he
received through his affiliations with Simmons Records (the record
label started by Gene Simmons that House Of Lords signed to), Full
House (Cordola was a semi-regular cast member), and B.C. Rich (Cordola
had a full endorsement with the guitar maker in the late 80s).

"This is a virtual treasure trove for any Lanny Cordola fan," the
spokesperson said, adding that Cordola will authenticate and sign any
of the guitars and clothing for winning bidders. Those who wish to
view the guitars and clothing, as well as ask questions and/or make
