After a year of being together, Taste the Venom have worked hard to make a name for themselves, by securing shows with Australian acts across various genres including Zombie Ghost Train (SYD), Mustang, Group Seizure, Long Walk Home, Winterun, Skybombers and Night Terrors. In late 2006 the gals were honoured to play the booze-drenched farewell show of touring Swedish band Crucified Barbara, who departed Melbourne to support Motorhead!
Their music is a fusion of genres, with elements of garage rock, nu-wave, indie rock and metal. The live show is at times frenetic, sometimes intense, occasionally shambolic but always entertaining, with high kicks, double kick, fast licks, aerial drumming, sonic meltdowns and the occasional concussion.
Taste the Venom have huge plans for the future, after a successful launch of their debut Steady Hands, Steady Fingers EP, forecasted for 2008 will be the release of their next EP, digital distribution, online shop, and a national tour – clear skies ahead!
Previous and current projects include The Amazons, Matramuta, Myagi, Pussy XXX, Plastic Palace Alice, and The Diamond Dolls Burlesque. Individual band members have shared stages with acts as diverse as the White Stripes (US), Destruction (GER), Bangs (US), Magic Dirt, The Johnnies and Jet.
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.
