"A superior act.burns
holes in the darkness of goth. Venus and cohorts evoke the
spirit of Black Sabbath, with heavy guitar doing lots of
'70s psychedelic riffs in a mélange of semi-melodic
noise." Bay Area Reporter
"Add their brag
about hosting "the largest transgender and fetish events
in the Midwest" to feathered-and-leathered diva Venus's
status as a six-foot Hedwig, gawk at his/her fellow trannies,
and you'll be forgiven for shrugging off these Minnesota
Goths as a silly cabaret shuck. Problem is,
2000's Ruin and their new live CD Dolls With Balls are two
of the best metal albums so far this millennium. Imagine
Bowie when he still sang fruity, fronting Cream circa "White
Room." Only harder, dancier, and with notably fewer
dead spots."
Chuck Eddy, Village Voice
"The band fuse a glam/punk image with a blend of sharp
and sultry vocals over intense, brooding, bass-driven rhythms.
Fascinating." Mark Hoaksey, Powerplay
