Sour Venom Is Original Hard Rock For The Northland
Sour Venom hasn't been together too long, but it turns out they could have been, knowing each other for a while.
The band got together mixing sounds that each guy brought, like KISS, Van Halen, Neil Young, Iron Maiden, and Weird Al Yankovic.
One of their Best Music Stories involved KISS, when they came to Duluth and the band was using the same words to address the audience as the year before when they visited Duluth. One of the guys spit and it landed on Paul Stanley. The whole band saw it and pointed at them in the audience.
Another story they shared involved Frank Hannon at the Clyde, he would drive and do some small solo shows. The wives of the band talked him into a jam session at their home at 2 in the morning.
They are just staying apart at this point to be safe, but if need be they are talking about doing something to keep working.
The Band consists of:
Ron Nordberg – Vocals
Paul Palusky – Guitar
Rob Johnson – Bass
Craig Vanneste – Drums
