   About Assassination Collective
4 lead singers. 2 drummers, 4 guitarists, 1 casio player and a bassman. Not all at the same time mind you (we swap around a bit), but the 6 members of The Assassination Collective are here for a specific reason, and it isn't to fulfill the expected role of what the music industry passes as a rock band these days.

Isn't there more interesting things in life? Who do you think you're accountable to? What will you take responsibility for?

We are sick of the limitations imposed by elements of the underground rock scene that require censorship of anything too "political", which compromises one's apparent "coolness". We write songs about revolution in an age of disorder and a culture industry which keeps musicians and audiences blind to the exploits of capital. We also like to get fucked up and have A LOT OF FUN.

Vultures of Venus prepare to tear up the stage this week with two incendiary performances. The first at Revolver on the 23 July on Chapel St. The Vultures are joined by the devastating sounds of Roxy Moron and MojoRising, both well respected noise makers from the Southside of town. The night promises to kick some true dance rockin punkadelic ass and blow da minds of all da yuppie princesses on Chappel St. If you've never seen a cool dance rock show with a twist of the 70's underground then get yr asses moving. Shake it ... Shake it from da hip
THEN on Saturday night Vultures of Venus continue their 70's Bowie stylings as they head to their natural enviroment, as the perform at WOW in Geddes Lane in the CBD.The Vultures of Venus prepare to electrify ’WOW’ once more with their glam rock electronica accompanied by the acts Desert Morning, Cordyseps and The Lazy Sons as well as ACID JACKS fresh from touring America.
Ya gotta be in it to win it! and as we all know there are a lot of beautiful prizes to be found for those willing to venture into the unknown.......mention "VULTURES OF VENUS" at the door for cheaper entry.
