Band history

Late Night Venture originally started in year 2000 as a band only consisting of Søren Hartvig and the former member Filip Glensaa making music with lots of electronics and only existed on the net. However in 2001 the band Flying Virgins were put together with Peter Sørensen on drums and soon following Jens Back on Bass and Jonas Qvesel on keys.

Flying Virgins existed in the period 2001-2005 where a record was made : Your Spectacular Light and the EP Lazy Star one of the first free EP's distributed on the internet as MP3 and FLAC. In the period of Flying Virgins the band toured in denmark, finland and sweden.

A change of setup and members happened as well in 2005, where Late Night Venture was formed in their now known form. Filip left the band and after a period as a quartet, Peter Olsen joined on guitars and vocals.

Late Night Venture released their selftitled debut in 2006, produced by Jonas Jørgensen ( Figurines, The Defectors ) to high acclaim in reviews around europe. Late Night Venture toured a lot in denmark, germany and UK in that period, and the record got lot of attention both in denmark and outside.

A bit over a year after Late Night Venture went to the studio again, this time with Magnus Lindberg ( Cult Of Luna, Jeniferever ) in the Tornado studios in copenhagen making 4 epic songs which really opened the doors to where they are now.

At the time being Late Night Venture is recording new material after a europe tour through Germany, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Czech republic.
