About Me

What was once called ennui. is now called Venus Over Paris.

What else is there to say about that? We just don't want to be confused with other lesser bands.

We started in December of 2003. What followed was a series of hirings, firings, dissolutions and reforms, but we always come back, stronger than before, ready to stab you in the face with the sharpest thing known to man; the truth. We hit hard. We hit soft. But most importantly, we hit you right when you least expect it, yet when you so desperately need it.

We are a rock band, plain and simple.
The drums will pummel, the floor will rumble, the feedback will sear, the screams will torment, and both hearts and instruments may be broken.

Another free EP by Clinton, ’music for the profoundly depressed’.

Hey kids! You probably best know me as TV's 'that guy who got pepper-sprayed in the face by his friend on America's Funniest Home Videos'. Or maybe, just maybe, as the other, shorter, skinnier and bet...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone on here actually give a fuck about our music? Are we wasting our time and money or should we actually put out a cd? This little rant may seem pointless, self-deprec...

Out With The Old

The two songs on our profile that were from the Ennui era of the band have been removed to make room for what's to come. Thanks for listening. See ya soon, Stanley VOP
