Jean Mazzei writes what she knows. She has committed countless hours to naval gazing, and as it turns out, all she really found was lint. Her hooky melodies, sharp wit and quirky lyrics relentlessly address themes like pop culture and growing older in her distinctive tongue in cheek manner. “I love how you tell it like it is! It’s as if you were inside my head!” says Dani Marcus, San Francisco resident and fan.

THE MUSIC
Often compared to the B-52’s, and the Pretenders, FV’s “attitude pop” has catchy hooks with grooves ranging from power-pop to punk. Not afraid to laugh at herself, her tongue in cheek songwriting takes you on a quirky journey, commenting on growing older, pop culture, even balding. Followers of Flying Venus call Jean's music catchy, empowering... Some may call it delusional... and others will say it's because “she’s a g-g-g-g-girl…” Designed to make you think, dance, laugh and feel, songs are easy to approach yet continue to give upon repeated listening.

Press Info

"Mazzei's self described 'attitude pop' has a pleasant, retro-80's girl band feel. Her voice is great... [Wild Heart Girl's] thudding bass line and squealing guitar breaks with Mazzei's funky vocal stylings, create a song that sounds like a perfect soundtrack for a 70's B movie."
Sherry Sly, West Coast Performer Magazine

"Airborn..., one of the few groups who carry as well, if not better from their recorded work to the stage... Jean Mazzei is sharp, sweet and definitely bouncy..."
Steve Devo, San Francisco, CA

"Fiery organs, sugary rhythms, distorted layers, searching for the 'dare'... Song that won't get out of your head!"
Carson Arnold, Longhouse Publishing, Vermont

"This girl has attitude!"
Janet Fisher, Goodnight Kiss Music, www.goodnightkiss.oom

"Very visual, Dali-esque lyrics. Yeah!"
Marcus Barone, Dreamworks
