The Venus Transit [R.I.P.]

The corndog spirit has moved on.

About Me

The Venus Transit was formed in the summer/fall of 04 in drummer Daniels garage with Ray Hatfield, Davy Spangler, Daniel Sibitzky, and John Rardin. The response was good and we kept playing out. A year later John left for college and we had Geoff Singletary come to play with us. Maybe a year later we incorporated Jack Osborne into the mix and played a couple of shows around. Times were good and we were having fun. Shortly after we parted ways with Jack and not too long afterwards with Geoff. About 4 months prior to writing this (12-16-2007) we found Barry Bowling and Dan Mitchem and setup and played two shows but decided it was time to let The Venus Transit go due to issues within the band. We had a great 3 years but all good things come to an end eventually. Thanks for everything everyone!
