Venomous Concept's First Live Show

VENOMOUS CONCEPT IS OUTLAW PUNK. That is the description from the band of what style they play. What exactly is outlaw punk?? Good question??

Venomous Concept is the brainchild of Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Lock Up), and Kevin Sharp (Brutal Truth). The idea was tossed around while Shane was in the states after touring Napalm Death’s “Order of the Leech” album. After the tour ended Shane visited some old friends. One of them was Kevin Sharp. The two discussed the idea of starting a band that had no rules, much like old school hardcore punk bands. Originally Mick Harris, former drummer for Napalm Death was to be the man behind the kit for Venomous Concept. Instead, for whatever reason, Danny Herrera (current drummer for Napalm Death) took the spot. To complete the line-up Buzz Osbourne (Melvins, Fantomas) was asked to play guitar. Their first full length was recorded in 2003 and has been named “Retroactive Abortion”. The band themselves paid for the recording of the album, “that way they record whatever they want, whenever they want... they are uncontrolled by labels... they produce their own music, art an! d media”. Once the album was recorded they shopped it around for the record deal. Since, they have signed the album to Ipecac Records, and “Retroactive Abortion” will be released June 29, 2004. It will include a strange conceptual video clip. Shane will also release a vinyl version of the LP on Napalm Death’s label FETO. Venomous Concept has played one show in Chicago so far, so there aren’t many people are around to give their impression of the band. To quote the Venomous Concept website they take influences from many different scenes; Japanese, Swedish, English, West Coast hardcore punk are all combined together, which will undoubtedly be an unruly noise. THEY MAKE NO APOLOGIES... IT'S ALL RAW NOISE!!
