MEAN VENUS is an original modern hard rock bandwith influences ranging from the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and the Doorsto Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbathto more contemporary bands like STP, Velvet Revolver, QOTSA, Foofighters, and Audioslave.Rooted in the soil of these diverse acts,MEAN VENUS is an amalgam of raw energy and years of studio, stage, and songwriting experience.

Emerging from the ashes of the now defunct musical fiasco, Negative Nine,MEAN VENUS hopes to take their music to new heightsunrecognized in any previous incarnation of the band.

Retaining Negative Nine's original singer/songwriter/guitarist, J,guitarist, Eric O, and drummer, Craig Buchman,(as well as the entire Negative Nine repertoire), MEAN VENUS continues to seek its final few members.They are currently in the recording studioworking on fresh material that is heavier, rawer, and more organic than much of that releasedin the past under the Negative Nine monickerand fine-tuning their live show.

Armed with a slew of new material,MEAN VENUS is now booking shows for June 2006 and on.So keep your eyes peeled, join the mailing list, and check back often!!!
