Description
"This is a terrific EP, doing proud the tradition of Television, Replacements and Flaming Lips." - Jim Santo www.demouniverse.com
Recorded with the production team of Michael Tudor and Chris Feinstein (Moby, Duncan Sheik, Iodine), Clara Venus EP showcases the original songwriting style and diverse influences of a band whose raw and energetic live shows have captured crowds in New York City and beyond.
Making NYC their home in the mid '90's, the band (Jon Crider - Vocals and Guitar, Tommy Emery - Drums and Bick - Vocals and Bass) quickly became a popular act. Recording their first cassette release in 1997 with indie favorite musician and producer Kurt Ralske (Ultra Vivid Scene), the band continued to develop their songwriting and stage show, performing frequently at venues as varied as basement clubs to showcases at the CMJ Music Festival. A supportive music press coupled with a devoted fan base has made Clara Venus a well-loved band at the city's best rock and roll venues.
The last three years have been a highly productive time for Clara Venus. A line-up change in 2000 forced the band to rethink its direction and goals. While deciding to keep the name, nearly everything else about the band changed. Gone were the glam-rock influences and melodramatic power-pop stylings, replaced instead with a mature driving rock and roll sound that at times flashes a rootsy grin and at other times delivers a punk rock scowl.
