  • Bio

    ..Citation Records recording artists Leaving Venus are a four piece indie rock and roll band from Hickory, North Carolina. Their critically acclaimed neo-retro sound has been favorably compared to The Killers, Coldplay, and The Black Keys. .. DOWNLOAD 'DEAD MEN DON'T TELL TALES!'

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. .. --Jon Haynes, Jon Haynes Photography .. .. * "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." .. -- Diagram Chaste, Learning Curve Music, 2008 .. .. .. ............ ...... / ..Black & White.. / ..Hot Comments.. / ..Image Hosting.. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
