Venison Whirled

Austin-based percussionist and multi-instrumentalist. She’s played with everyone from Brave Combo (she was in the original late 70’s lineup) to Roky Erickson to Jandek to members of Faust and Guru Guru (and she’s opened for everyone from Psychic TV to different incarnations of Hawkwind and the bands growing out of the Hawkwind diaspora), and also been a member of seminal groups such as ST 37, Glass Eye, Three Day Stubble, etc., her conception of the whole noise-drone aesthetic is rooted in the extremes of the original psychedelic era, rooted in White Light White Heat (which she bought as a child in Winfield, Kansas, and which changed her life) and Happenings Ten Years Time Ago and Blue Cheer.
