Bio
The Venus Transmission are a Philadelphia area based project that mix elements of Shoegazer style dream rock and heavy, searing, layers of guitars to create an ethereal wall of sound with pop elements. .. .. With heavily layered arrangements drawing influence from artists like My Bloody Valentine, Doves, and early Jane's Addiction, The Venus Transmission create dreamy atmospheric pop songs that explode into guitar drenched rock, reminiscent of bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden and Queens of the Stone Age. .. .. "Reminiscent of late 80s/early 90s British shoe gazer distortion drenches, coupled with some 80s "college" rock influence. Imagine the Jesus and Mary Chain clashing with the occasional track from Dinosaur Jr's "You're Living All Over Me" - ..Origivation Magazine, Sept 2004.. .. .. ..For Booking, Press Kits or any other information.. please contact Rob at (302)563-6234, e-mail us at thevenustransmission@gmail.com or just contact us here via myspace... .. .. ..
