The Venetian Snares are a powernoise outfit from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The sole member is Aaron Funk, who does all the programming, tracking, sampling, and synth-playing, as well as the odd vocal loop. He must definitely possesses the funk.

VS is possibly best known for such time-honoured club classics as "Befriend a Child Killer," "Fuck a Stranger In The Ass," and "Making Orange Things."

If you ever find yourself at Maschinefest in Germany, or at one of the electro/industrial/noize clubs in the greater Portland, Oregon area, you are quite likely to hear some Venetian Snares mixes. On that note, be prepared to stomp your brains out, as most VS compositions are of the extremely harsh, ear-splitting variety, but are still plenty danceable.
