It's the hottest band between Memphis and the Sun! Featuring heavenly female singers, stellar musicians, and great dance hits from the 1970's, 80's, 90's, and today — plus several sassy originals — The Venus Mission will launch your next event into the stratosphere.
The Venus Mission has packed dance floors — in nightclubs and country clubs — around the south since 2002. Soaring harmonies, tight-as-spandex grooves, a high-energy stage act, and a first-rate light show — this band always gives a performance that everyone enjoys, from club-hopping college kids to high-society gala-goers.
Recording with noted producers Chris Trevett and Niko Lyras, the band worked for two years on its own sassy, original pop and released its first CD, Body Rockin', to critical praise in 2007.
From disco to Prince, from Michael Jackson to Lady Gaga, The Venus Mission covers the best dance-party music and has built a large, loyal following all over the region. Wedding receptions, corporate events, class reunions, charity galas, festivals, nightclubs: you name it, this band can play it — and they always leave the crowd wanting more.
