The Vultures Of Venus

Scavenge and squeeze yourself into that tight black dress, leather pants painted onto your writhing face, slick and wet, drying to parched and drunk in the midnight sun we play.

Vultures of Venus was founded by Jefferson Morrow (Lead Vocals and Guitar) and Simon Vulture (Keyboards/Programming/Vocals) in Melbourne, Australia in early 2005. Since then they have been through several formations and have written songs spanning across many genres combining their love of all things beautifully overdriven and psychedelic. Now in 2008 the Vultures of Venus live juggernaught is complete being joined by Mikey Mayhem (Drums) and Craigus McVegas (Bass) – combining to form a solid rhythm section perfect for enhancing the dynamics of their electro-tinged garage glitz rock monster.
So far the boys have demo’d 15 of their tracks in their home studio which have received positive support in Melbourne on RRR, PBS and 3CR and also on Sydney community radio, as well as having a couple of thousand song plays on their myspace page with some very positive feedback globally .

From June 08 the new form Vultures of Venus have taken to the live circuit with full force playing shows at Ding Dong, Revolver, The Tote, Empress, IDGAFF, Pony, Espy, Arthouse, Geddes Lane, 303, Order of Melbourne and a couple of crazy warehouse parties with a plethora of artists including The Blow Waves, CC Martini, The Bakelite Age, The Mercy Kills, Smurfinger, National Airlines, Alithia, Disgruntled Goat, Neon Knights, The Greenmatics, Psych Carni, The Amazing Phillips Sisters, Zombie Sex Gang, Vicious Cyclist and Hot Little Hands.

Gearing up for a independent debut E.P release early next year, the ‘Vultures of Venus’ will continue to unleash their sonic justice on some of Melbourne’s most loved drinking holes whilst also playing a couple of regional tours later in the year, including a Friday night spot on the fantastic Renaissance Festival in Nov .

Vultures of Venus are fearlessly independant and currently in the midst of working on their upcoming debut E.P. As well as planning to film their first videoclip for their track ‘Lollishop’!!!
