Details:
For five years, they've been called "the hottest band between Memphis and the Sun." With the release of their new CD BODY ROCKIN', their territory may expand even farther.

Featuring three female singers and four male musicians, The Venus Mission has performed over 300 shows at area nightclubs, casinos, and festivals, plus numerous galas and private events. In 2005, the band began writing original music and caught the attention of Grammy-winning producer Chris Trevett (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, etc.), who came to Memphis to produce a four-song demo for the band. After enthusiastic reaction to the demo, the band continued to write and record, working with Memphis producer and musician Niko Lyras (Wendy Moten, 666 Mafia, etc.). With eight original tunes and three well-chosen covers, the group finished BODY ROCKIN' at the end of 2006.

The band's songs are best described as contemporary dance pop with an 80's feel. The group also put its modern signature on three classic 80's tunes: Obsession (Animotion), Give Me Back My Man (The B-52âs), and Only the Lonely (The Motels).

Featuring Izzi-B, C.C., and Trixie6 on vocals -- backed by Jim Britt (drums), Kim Trammell (drums), Matt Isbell (guitar), Adam Levin (keyboards and guitar), and Jeff Potter (bass) -- the album boasts a wealth of the finest vocalists and players in Memphis, one of the world's great music cities.

Overall, BODY ROCKIN' explores universal themes of love, lust, infatuation, and heartbreak from a female perspective -- all with a beat that will make you want to hit the nearest dance floor. Soaring vocals, lush harmonies, crafty lyrics, and killer musicianship prove that The Venus Mission is ready to blast off to stardom. The countdown has begun...
