The official street date for Spitting at the Glass has been scheduled for February 9, 2010. The Santa Fe album launch party originally scheduled for December 12 has been rescheduled to Friday, February 5, at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. More tour and album news coming soon. Venus Bogardus is booking a west coast tour in support of the new album Spitting at the Glass – kick-off and ending show dates are anticipated for Santa Fe and Albuquerque, including a tour launch show at Cowgirl Hall of Fame – stay tuned for details. Press, radio and venues can get more information here, including industry-only downloads and high-resolution album art. Shows are scheduled for venues in Los Angeles, the Bay area and Seattle, and many more will be announced shortly including shows in Portland/Olympia and San Diego. The tour and album are supported by radio and press promotion by Planetary Group. Distribution of Spitting at the Glass is currently provided by five03 records – merchants interested in selling the album should contact Tony Ramo at five03. Venus Bogardus is planning to play tour dates in the Bay area in February 2010, to coincide with the west coast premiere of the Beebo Brinker Chronicles stage play, running February 23 – March 13 (www.brava.org). The tour will accompany the formal release of Spitting at the Glass (following local/northern NM soft launch in December), and will include shows along the west coast. Friday 13th 2009 marked the fifth deathiversary of Jhonn Balance (1962-2004), founding member of British industrial/experimental/post-Crowley/chaos-wagers COIL. The date was marked by a night of interpretive performances of COIL works by 13 artists invited by The Process. The three-hour show was staged at the Santa Fe Complex. It included music and theatre by Andrew Cryptic, Rhod Harrison, The Vivi Sect (with the One and Only Ian Anderson), Martin Back, and Lilia Pea’s ensemble. Curator Red Cell invited Venus Bogardus to perform The Wheel (vocal version). The evening will be remembered by the audience crammed into the Complex as a seminal gathering of the Santa Fe avant-garde. The event was filmed and documented by several photographers. The release of images and recordings from the show is keenly anticipated. “It was, without doubt, one of the very best shows that we have ever been associated with, and it was an honor to be invited to perform.” Welcome to the new Venus Bogardus official band Web site. We’re busy building this and making it everything you could possibly dream of (well, whatever), so please browse away, register, if you’re a mega-fan (…do we have those?) and you would like your own corner on this site to blog about music or related things, please let us know, and we’ll hook you up. Meanwhile, check out new press kits at sonicbids and reverbnation. New York City boutique indie label, five03 records, has signed a contract with Venus Bogardus to re-release and take over distribution of their 2008 album, Tourist, originally released on boutique Los Angeles label Pretty Mouth Records (subsidiary of Big Deal Records, and now defunct).
