Update, October 2011

Innervenus  Noun.  /in-er vee-nuhs/  

1. A music collective founded in 2001. 

2. The place from which music is born. Abbreviation :  iV

It’s the inner part of all of us. The music within… that sound that just ‘gets us’ when nothing else does. It’s the eradication of stress in the head phones or the speakers of the car on the way home from the grind. Sludge… Doom… Hardcore…. Punk…or combinations thereof…  it helps, doesn’t it?  Helps to release a little bit of what would otherwise be caged & festering.  Innervenus = Outlet. So, use us. Use us as your outlet to rock, to shred, to thrash!

We thrive on making records, booking shows, shearing sheep, and hanging out with awesome people sharing ideas. We are a music collective operating as a record label that implements booking/touring support in addition to merchandising & distribution for our bands and for the love of music. We like to work together with musicians, bands, and affiliates for a common goal; and that is to get stuff done. So, now that you know about us, let’s see YOU! Get out there and support your local scene! Come say hi, you’ll find one of us or most of us at the shows listed below.

NEWS BRIEF

Iron Atrocity Video Show on YouTube!

For those of you who have been living under a mossy stone since mid July, the Iron Atrocity Video show is like a local underground Pittsburgh version of Headbanger’s Ball. (if you’re reading this and have no idea what that is, just watch and enjoy!) It will feature a trio of bands from our own area presented in a documentary type format that includes a live performance from each band. All this is packaged in an awesome little clip that takes less time to watch than it takes you to get through the Squirrel Hill tunnels between 3-6 on a weekday! This awesomeness is put together by our good friends at The Pittsburgh Scene and Eye to the Sky Films.
