It was Catherine’s last Venus before she moves to BC to become a nature baby. We dug deep into the CKUT archives and found some gold, including an interview with the Gossip from 2003 and a 2007ish interview with JD Samson (of Le Tigre fame) and Bernie Bankrupt (of the legendary Lesbians on Ecstasy). We shed some tears and listened to some of our favourite songs from the past ten years of Venus, and reminisced about the amazing people who have been and will continue to be what makes the Venus Collective the unstoppable force it is, including:
Ang, a core member of the collective for EIGHT FREAKING YEARS, whose voice we hope to be hearing on the airwaves very soon again; Eugenie, Natasha, Sarah Mangle and Sarah Wang (aka the Sarah Bloc), Melanie, Emily, Julia, Rachael, Nasrin, Marianna, Sarah W, and Erin, Laura and Christy, who started it all! SORRY IF WE FORGOT ANYONE, I’M LOSING MY MIND, LEAVE A MESSAGE AND WE’LL FIX IT RIGHT AWAY
