Venus Hum

Have you heard the new band Venus Hum?? They’re a wicked new electronic 3-piece from Nashville and touring over here at the moment. Take a look at their website to get more of a picture of who these guys are www.venushum.com!!

Are you the lead singer?

Annette Strean does the lead vocals. Kip Kubin who does Computers, Electronics and Synthesizers sounds like an interesting chap but Tony Mircale miraculously does Computers, Electronics, Synthesizers, Rhodes, Guitars, Bass and Vocals.

Might be....I am over here gigging at the moment.

I know you are.

I have foreseen it.

No, she's her PR girl (check her e-mail address...)!

I would George, but surely insinuating she is the lead singer when she patently isn't is far more amusing.

If she is so into PR, why have I not seen her in any movie?

Thinking about it, why aren't you in any films?

I know I should be in films shouldn't I, a disney film I think!

Rebecca, is this band on the brink of something 'big'? - are you involved in a management company?

Does it look like I am. Can I not like a band that I know is big in the US and try and get others to like them??

Big in the US?

I am unable to see you, so I cannot make that assessment, it would be unfair.

I was curious to learn more about you after George indicated you were into PR.

There is no foreseeable harm in urging others to enjoy other types of music. Only recently I happened to encourage Pastie to buy Saving Peter Ryan for his own collection of DVD's. You see, he hadn't seen the film and I had and I 'reckoned it was really quite good. A shame for him not to see it I thought. Especially when the historics of WWII have repercussions even today - most notable with the revelation that Hitler was involved in making a UFO!

And does this bloke who said I am in PR know me??? No I don't think he does. Anyways Saving Private Ryan is an excellent film and I reckon the mojority would think so. So if the majority like Venus Hum then it doesn't matter about the few that don't like them.

George is the bloke who said you were in PR. He's mentioned you a few times so I assumed he knew you.

I think he wanted to go out with you on a date.

Do you know Geoff Dick?

... don't be silly Hank.

It's a fair question.

I'm not denying that. It just seemed like you were giving Beccy a hard time and all she's ever done is shown us the light with the band; 'The Fiddlesticks'.

I actually own a copy of Hummingbirds by Venues that are a bit on the nose. It was sent to me by the aformentioned Mr Dick who works for BMG.

This is interesting! I said Rebecca was Venushum's PR because her e-mail address ended with "BMG.CO.UK", ie, the english branch of BMG records, one of the largest record labels in the world...

but NOW her e-mail address is no longer available!

Well, the obvious observation is that when someone's very first post is promotional, suspicions do arise.

Yes, but I don't like this kind of scam. I prefer the honest, "hey I have a band" approach, like those Jobe guys did...

And, it seems all of our earlier motions have now been founded.

I hope she takes with her a little of the online humour which we offered her.

Except Hank, who seems to be taking the whole thing far too seriously.

Maybe she should have come on-stream and tapped this;

Hello there New Order fans, I am Angie from BMG, I'm promoting the new BMG band 'The Righteous Brothers' who are currently on tour in Northern Japan. They are due to release their new single 'Cats in the Cat House' sometime in June and have been provisionally booked in for a guest appearance on the show 'Silver Spoons' starring Ricky Schroder who is now grown up and appearing in NYPD Brown.

Anyway, check the Bros. website out which has lots of little promo. titbits to enjoy and a sample of their hit record 'Dog Food'.

Thanks for your time gang, I'm off for me dinner.

Angie the Sparrow.

You took the words, if not the example given, off my mouth. By the way, bye Rebecca!

I am back and you lot make me LAUGH!!! So what if I was from a record company, that just means that I am passionate about music and can tell you about up and coming bands for you lot to get hold of. Then you can show off and say to your friends, have you heard of this band they are really cool and I found them before you!!!

The way we sussed you was brilliant.

George's behind the scenes sleuthing of your e-mail address, Patty's curious ability to extract human behaviour patterns from scant few posts, Hank's off-track meanderings about real life people ... superb.

And to cap it all off you've now come clean.

All ends well.

The true mystery was why you choose to post in the 'general chat-room' as opposed to the more popular (and possibly productive for your purposes) 'New Order Related' auditorium.

Great stuff.

Is it possible to make a film out of this? - is that book still due Pat?

It took America, Portugal and the UK combined.

A veritable band of brothers, so to speak.

(and Hank).
