I'm sure everyone remembers Venus Hum from their epic performance with the Blue Man Group in the early 2000s. Annette Strean lost her voice not so long after and went through surgery for vocal nodules, everyone thought that was the end. Turns out they are back to making music and they've leveled up. She's better than ever, quite the comeback story. Someone should tell their fans. :p
She sounds great! It’s funny, I also recognize the name Venus Hum from that Blue Man Group collab. Apparently so do most of the YouTube commenters. I didn’t realize BMG had so much cachet, it...
She sounds great! It’s funny, I also recognize the name Venus Hum from that Blue Man Group collab. Apparently so do most of the YouTube commenters. I didn’t realize BMG had so much cachet, it feels like most people are only vaguely aware of them as maybe an Arrested Development punchline. I saw BMG’s Vegas show back in the mid oughts — it was tremendously fun!
I’m curious if Venus Hum has any more recent content. This video is quintessential pandemic lockdown style. Those videos helped us all survive that time but the aesthetic is so tightly linked to covid that it conjures up some strong memories for me.
Their 2021 album Kindness Rages On is the most recent LP. For my money it's the best yet, due to Kip and Tony having cleaner production that isn't fuzzing out Annette's voice as much as older...
Their 2021 album Kindness Rages On is the most recent LP. For my money it's the best yet, due to Kip and Tony having cleaner production that isn't fuzzing out Annette's voice as much as older albums. She's just framed better. Nothing since 2023 except one single in 2024. Not much in the way of social media presence. That's not unusual for them though, they've always been more of an underground group.
BMG still lives in Vegas and they pop out for a tour every couple of years, always with a new show. Seen them twice and enjoyed both shows immensely. Will see them again if I get the opportunity. :)
