1) The more widely-known Venus was formed in 1997 in Brussels, Belgium. Five artists came together to create the band, already experienced in classical, pop and drama. They worked to create stunning live shows.
Their first full-length album titled 'Welcome To The Modern Dancehall' was released in 1999.
The first half of 2001 has been set as the first holidays for the band in
four years.
In 2006 they released the album The Red Room, followed by the single Love & Loss.
They toured this album throughout France, Belgium and the rest of Europe.
On the 23rd March 2007, a 10th anniversary concert was scheduled at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. However, at the end of February, Marc A. Huyghens (vocals for the group) announced on Venus' official website that "After ten “out-of-this-world” years – full of way-out adventures, mesmerising concerts, a few chaotic patches, quite a few drunken giggles – I have decided to move on to new intergalactic adventures". The 10th anniversary gig turned into a goodbye concert, including many guests such as members from Girls In Hawaii and Ghinzu, as well as Venus' former double bass player, Walter Janssens and others. A last EP containing covers of Daniel Lanois, Björk and fellow Belgian singer Jacques Brel was released for the occasion.
2) Venus is also a female dance artist licensed by the SAIFAM group.
3) There was a Hungarian pop-rock band called Venus, often written as 'Vénusz'. They finally formed in 1997 and split up in 2002. Their last concert was held at 28th September 2002 in Zalaegerszeg. They had some #1 hits in Hungary, such as 'Kockahas' and 'Régi nyár'. They received a number of awards, and even performed a new hit 'Szép emlék' in the successful Hungarian movie called 'Valami Amerika'. Their lead singer Zsuzsa Varga went solo in 2002.

4) Venus was the first all-female rock band from Chile. They started formally on 1992, with founding members Rosemarie Vargas (guitar/vocals), Sara Ugarte, (guitar/vocals), Andrea Alarcón (vocals), Carmen Paz (bass) and Claudia Pardo (drums). At first, they had a punk rock sound, but in the late 90's their sound turned out more rock pop, when they signed with a major label (BMG). Their first album was "El Ataque de Zorrita", in 1996, with Sara on vocals and guitar, Rosemarie on guitar and vocals, Claudia Parra on bass and Claudia Celis on drums.
In 1997 they were without a drummer (there's few female drummers in Chile), but anyways, they record "Dolor de fin de Siglo" as an independent band-again. This second album, from 1998, has a darker sound, influenced by Marilyn Manson and NIN, as Sara said.
They split on 2001, but Rosemarie reformed the band, now with her own daughter Venus Cortés on vocals and keyboards, Celia Zurita on bass, María de los Ángeles Ibarra on drums, and Rosemarie herself on guitar and vocals. Their third albums is "atrapada" from 2009.
