*These talented musicians know pop positive chord changes. They're like eating one potato chip, impossible to stop with just one. They played for 40 short minutes, but I needed them to play longer. In todays economic depression Leaving Venus insists upon a smile, a kiss from whomever is nesting with you and dance. I wanted to move, to dance, to spin and laugh. Great music!
p.s. reminded me a little bit of 80's pop college music.

* "Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, and...
considered by some indie rock's premier 'underdogs'..., Leaving Venus has quickly become a formidable presence in that genre, picking up a mantle that many critics say couldn't be picked up again. With quirky, retro-influenced hooks (like the chorus of the infectious 'An Angel's Comedy'), Leaving Venus may be an underdog, but that's only one of the... reasons why we love 'em."
(from a review by Janice Hawbright)
* "Leaving Venus flew in from Argentina, or Newton, or some place (who really cares where), in some whirlwind of hypnotic fancy- leaving nothing even resembling Venus, nor a home planet, for that matter, behind. There is a reason. It is evident in the music. Love breaks hearts, and it inspires greatness."
