Brenna Kassis and Cecilia Tomé are leading a new generation of Nashville women in music. The city has witnessed countless cycles of trends and genres, and currently, it’s witnessing something special: a slew of female-fronted indie rock bands.
Few are doing it as honestly as Venus & the Flytraps. Equal parts nostalgic and refreshing, their lighthearted approach to songwriting combined with fuzzy guitars and catchy harmonies makes the band instantly captivating, and their authentic live performance seals the deal. It’s edgy and sweet wrapped in the perfect amount of distortion.
Watch Venus & the Flytraps perform “Miss Behavior,” “Swiss Army Girl” and “Hard Part’s Over” from their debut album Demonette live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
