Album Notes

Female-fronted guitar rock.

Viva la Venus is a four-piece touring and recording act from North Carolina. The live show combines powerful vocal harmonies with the gritty chug of guitars along with a sexy stage presence, taking the audience on a musical roller coaster ride. Along with being featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Raleigh's Live and Local TV, the track "Mystery" was featured in two episodes of the cable television series Strong Medicine on the Lifetime Network.

Forget the Fairy Tale, released in June 2005 is a strong, creative progression beyond Viva la Venus's first relase, The Never Ending Mending Story. Produced by Viva la Venus, it was mixed by John Plymale (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Superchunk, Meat Puppets, Corrosion of Conformity, Portastatic, etc.) at Overdub Lane and mastered by Brent Lambert (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Camper Van Beethoven, Cravin' Melon, Le Tigre, etc.) at The Kitchen.

Hot & Rockin'!

These ladies got it going on! The women are hot, the drummer is fierce and the music ROCKS! The lyrics are angry and raw, but the vocals and backing harmonies are really well done. I've been listening to these tunes for two weeks solid, since I got the CD -- it's awesome! My favorite song is "Free".
