Venus Virus

Infection is Inevitable

About Me

Since the formation of Venus Virus in February of 1996, Miss P. Pyre has continued to create an ambient, ethereal, synth-based sound that is something to contend with. Venus Virus is a combination of female-empowerment expressed through singing and synth-mood-pop. Current artists such as Radiohead, Air, Cold Play, or Venus Hum can all be heard in Venus Virus' work. There is also no denying of the strong 80's sound that comes to life through this music. Miss P. Pyre sites Gary Numan, Talk Talk, Yaz, and the Eurythmics as major influences in the music. Venus Virus continues to spread its infection through live performances in Europe and all throughout California. The future is bright with Venus Virus recording new material and planning for a small tour later in the year.

Infection is Inevitable!
