Venus Hum

Nashville, TN, may not be the initial place for the dream pop music group to get together, however the birthplace of American music was a good in good shape for Venus Hum. Made up of vocalist Annette Strean and multi-instrumentalists Kip Kubin and Tony Magic, the trio produced in 1999. Strean, who was raised using a logger dad in Whitefish, MT, discovered Nashville to become her cultural contacting. She was raised singing show music for fun, but her fondness for the Get rid of and Kate Bush pressed her artistically. Strean dropped for kitschy movies in the 50s, too. Afterwards, she designed her very own clothing from classic apparel. Magic had an identical upbringing. He was locked into regular family members suburbia in Cincinnati, OH, and searched for ease and comfort in England’s brand-new influx reign. Depeche Setting and the Get rid of allowed him to explore several electronic dance serves from the ’80s. Kubin was a Shirt kid. A pal of his experienced a father who produced his personal keyboards, therefore Kubin naturally found the instrument. Following that, Strean, Wonder, and Kubin linked. Wonder setup Chessington Synth Labs Studio room in his cellar, and Venus Hum produced a lush, powerful pop audio. Their self-titled debut made an appearance on Mono-Fi in springtime 2001. Shows around Nashville had been effective for Venus Hum. Lucky to them, electroclash maker/scenester Larry Tee required Venus Hum under his wing. The music group made an appearance at Tee’s Electroclash Festival in NEW YORK during summer season 2002, and Stereolab asked Venus Hum to open up to them in Nashville. The Hummingbirds EP coincided having a joint U.S. tour with Sing-Sing that Oct. Six months later on, their appropriate full-length recording Big Gorgeous Sky premiered. After a group of issues that included problems with their label and nodes on Strean’s vocal chords, Venus Hum continued a two-year hiatus. Throughout that period, Strean underwent physical and vocal therapy, Kubin became a filmmaker, and Wonder recorded an recording beneath the name Satellite television Town. In 2005, the trio reconvened and started recording collectively and separately; the results had been the acoustic/digital manipulations of the second recording, The Colors within the Steering wheel, which found its way to summer 2006.
