About Me

Venus was founded in Brussels in 1997. The band members are Marc A. Huyghens (vocals, guitar), Christian Schreurs (violin, guitar), Pierre Jacqmin (bass, double-bass) and Jean-Marc Butty (drums, percussions). Venus’ first album "Welcome to the Modern Dance Hall" was released in 1999. It was followed one year later by the live CD “The Man who was Already Dead” recorded at the Cirque Royal with the Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles. “Vertigone” (2003) was the opportunity for the band to tour extensively in Belgium, France, Switzerland, and Italy (over one hundred concerts).Venus managed to establish itself with memorable performances at the Printemps de Bourges, the Eurockéennes (France), Nyon (Switzerland), the Crossing Border (The Netherlands), the Popkomm (Germany). From small intimate clubs to the prestigious Rock Werchter, Dranouter Folk Festival or the Nuits Botanique, their musical power and the distinctive scenography of their performances impressed on every Belgian stage.
Venus a été fondé à Bruxelles en 1997. Le groupe est formé de Marc A. Huyghens (chant, guitare), Christian Schreurs (violon, guitare), Pierre Jacqmin (basse, contrebasse) et Jean-Marc Butty (batterie, percussions). Venus a sorti son premier album "Welcome To The Modern Dance Hall" en 1999. Un an plus tard paraissait le live "The Man Who Was Already Dead", enregistré au Cirque Royal avec l'Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles. "Vertigone"(2003) a permis à Venus de donner une centaine de concerts en Belgique, en France, en Suisse et en Italie. Bien avant la vague belge francophone des Girls In Hawaii, Ghinzu et autre Hollywood Porn Stars, Venus a réussi à s'imposer au-delà des frontières avec des prestations remarquées au Printemps de Bourges, aux Eurockéennes (France), à Nyon (Suisse), au Crossing Border (Pays-Bas) ou au Popkomm (Allemagne). Du petit club intimiste au prestigieux Rock Werchter, en passant par les Nuits Botanique,il n'y a pas un podium belge qui n'ait succombé à la force musicale et à la scénographie unique de ses spectacles.
