Pocket Venus are a rock band from Conwy in North Wales. The band's sound has been difficult to pigeonhole as they have such a diverse range of sounds, however, many critics have compared the group to classic rock bands such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin for the progressive rock dynamics and comparisons of the precise orchestration and song writing techniques of bands like The Verve and Spiritualized were also abundant in reviews.

Marooned in Aberystwyth, UK, blind chance and a shared fascination with the British seaside brought together Paul Newland and Tim Noble. On deserted beaches and vertiginous coastal paths, in ancient woodlands and derelict mines, conversations veered wildly from myth to fact, sea to sky, waking to dreaming, cartography to psychogeography, song to instrumental, melody to rhythm
Originally starting as a group of friends wanting to start a band who knew they were not the best musicians but still wanted to have fun with it. But that failed... damn Morrissons and Mustafa stealing our bassist :P It then changed to guitar lessons from Hogie to Kyle. Which with awesome chemistry and a shit lot of practice has turned in to a little two piece acoustic band. Although we are still looking to develop back in to a full band its still dandy just being us two. Both of us playing Acoustics with singing from Hogie. We know we aren't the best around but tbh we don't care :D
