I havent got a bloody clue why i just remembered this!!!During High school, not sure if it was 3rd or 4th year, a mate of mine called Andy Kennedy got me into this type of "ELECTRO, TECHNO" music. He borrowed me some tapes of JEAN MICHEL JARRE and TANGERINE DREAM and me being me, i was hooked! We had an idea to create a M.A.R.R.S rip off band, we were gonna put movie quotes over some mediocre dance tunes that Andys mate had recorded from his keyboards, now all we needed was a name..... Taking M.A.R.R.S into consideration we settled on VENUS 3 because its a planet and there was three of us. We never did bugger all with it and so it ended before it actually began, but years later, i was sat in front of the telly when this commercial came on to the tune of VENUS, you know, "Im your Venus, Im your fire..." Bananarama did a cover of it in the 80's. I looked up and it was advertising a ladies razor called VENUS and because it had three blades the logo was the word VENUS with a number three coming off the letter V! I wet myself laughing for a good while, thank god we never recorded anything.... Anyway, i was looking for a picture of the razor logo on google, only to discover there is a band from Qubec called VENUS 3! Mad as a box of frogs!!!!
