VENICE QUEEN after ripping the roof off and selling out their last show at the Bourb, VC is back onstage at the Bourbon! Venice Queen is a 4-piece rock band from Richmond whose inspiration is derived from countless different groups and styles, with each song naturally sounding different from the rest. While inspired by bands like Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones and Queens of the Stone Age, they refuse to pinpoint themselves to a specific genre other than to what sounds pleasing to their ears and hopefully to others! www.myspace.com/venicequeenband

BULLETS OVER BEAUTY - This power-house dark alt-rock combo is a combustible combination of modern rhythm-driven blues and rock influences. Formed by Steffyn (Painted Self), Jay (CrankRiot), Adam (An Oracle) and Glenn (A Murder of Crows), Steffyn and Jay kick-started the band after Steffyn's arduous 3 year battle with cancer left him craving to play again. He brings his emotive vocal stylings together with a powerful dual guitar assault that creates the strong musical experience that is Bullets Over Beauty. www.myspace.com/bulletsoverbeauty

WINTER OF FREEDOM formed as a duo focused on delivering heavy melodic rock with a touch of electronica, the band's line-up expanded to become four members strong. With band members' heritages based in Iceland, England, Ireland, France, Poland, China, and Japan, they've come together as a global effort - one that promises to cross musical boundries. www.myspace.com/winteroffreedom
