Venus and Life on Mars

Posted at 3:48 PM on February 8, 2007 by Christina Schmitt

What to do? Venus is back in action this Saturday at First Avenue with her new band, the House of Flowers. The show is part of a fetish ball, Les Fleurs du Mal, and I don't have anything appropriate to wear--I am a square with little fashion sense and am also too cheap to ever spend the ch-ching for a decent corset.

Venus played an acoustic set a couple of weeks ago during The Current’s live broadcast from Gluek's, hosted by Mary Lucia. Venus played Mary’s request for David Bowie’s "Life on Mars." Nice.

But I’m still interested in seeing the fully amplified House of Flowers. Venus’s last band, All the Pretty Horses, broke up more than a year ago and they were known for a dramatic stage show--all glam, metal, fishnet stockings and antics with a chainsaw.

I’m going to the show on Saturday. I’ll just wear black and rat my hair. Any favorite tales from a past Venus performance? Any fashion tips for me (keep it clean)?
