NWT: Unit 3 with Venus
3 April 2007 :: posted by Missingtoof
A family that plays together stays together. Unit 3 with Venus was the 1980’s, sans-polyester version of The Partidge Family. Father Henree Herd on keys, mother Patty Bondage on bass & nine year old daughter Venus singing lead vocals. Oh yeah, cant forget Uncle Jay on drums. Their songs deal entirely with things a nine year old thinks about, which is evident in the song titles such as ‘Boys’ & ‘Scott Baio’.

Unit 3 With Venus – “Beer” (mp3)
No clue where Unit 3 and Venus are now, & I have never seen a full length release of theirs, dont know if one exists. Just tracks on compilations. One of which ‘Obscurity Files’, you can get from Amazon. Also, they’ve appeared on a few Rodney on the KROQ comps put out by Poshboy records which you can sometimes find digging in the crates.

too fucking cute! i woulda loved to see them perform, i can just image the little girl screaming and going nuts.
pajama party kinda reminded me a fruit salad from gameboy/gamegirl.. maybe they should remix’em.
and beer should be a psa ad.

I saw them open for Nina Hagen at Fenders in LB. I was a teenager and by the time Ms Hagen came on stage i was so drunk I started puking and was tossed out the door passeing out in the gutter out front! BUT, I remember loving the unit three with venus set.
