Boston-based carnival-style punk rockers, The Venetia Fair, have snagged a coveted spot in this year’s Alternative Press “100 Bands You Need To Know” issue, available everywhere March 5, 2013.

The special issue coincides perfectly with the release of TVFs hnew album, Every Sick Disgusting Thought We’ve Got In Our Brains (which comes out March 1), and the kickoff of the full U.S. tour.

Looking to catch the band? It will be at 3065 Live! in East Wareham on March 1, at Simon’s 677 in Providence on March 27 and in-store at Converse in Boston on March 29.

The Venetia Fair grabbed everyone’s attention at the close of 2012 with the monumental success of its Kickstarter campaign ~ fans obliterated their $8,000 goal in a mere four days. Check out their music video for “The Ringleader” at bit.ly/S8c8LM and “A Man Like Me” at bit.ly/pKPscf.
