Viva la Venus!

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 rollercoaster 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.

The debut CD release, The Never Ending Mending Story (Shiny Pants Records), has received wide critical acclaim. The second release, Forget the Fairy Tale was released in 2005 and was selected as one of the Top 25 CD's of 2006 by indie-music.com. Songs from the album have also been heavily featured in The Adrenalin Group's zombie film, The Forever Dead. Forget the Fairy Tale is available online at CDBaby.com and for download from iTunes, Napster and other major electronic music distributors.
