Venus Grrrls release new music video for ‘Bloodsick’
VENUS GRRRLS have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Bloodsick, is the brand new single from the Leeds/Newcastle-based alternative rock band and follows on from their previous single, Divine, which was released back in January.
The new single was recorded by Sugar House and mixed/mastered by Grammy-nominated Romesh Dodangoda [BRING ME THE HORIZON, NOVA TWINS].
Speaking about the new song, vocalist GK says, “Bloodsick describes a change, or a metamorphosis of a being that has become far more insular and isolated. It is a grief of what once was, that transcends into a bittersweet liberation of a new body, or way of living both physically and emotionally.”

Alongside the release of the new music video, VENUS GRRRLS have announced a headlining UK tour for September this year. In a move that speaks to VENUS GRRRLS own experience with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), the band have partnered with stem cell transplant charity Anthony Nolan.
Anthony Nolan uses its register of 900,000 people to match potential stem cell donors to blood cancer and blood disorder patients in need of stem cell transplants. All shows on the eight-date run will have Anthony Nolan volunteers present to provide more information about stem cells, their role in treating AML via transplant and the importance of people aged 16-30 signing up to the stem cell register.
Charlotte Cunliffe, Director of Register Development at Anthony Nolan says, “when people in the public eye, like GK, share their experiences, it inspires others to seek out how they can help which is why we’re thrilled VENUS GRRRLS will be encouraging their fans to learn more about stem cell donation on tour. At Anthony Nolan we know that one individual can transform the lives of patients with blood cancer and blood disorders. VENUS GRRLS fans – your stem cells could hold the key to someone’s survival and starts with a simple swab. We need people aged 16-30, particularly young men and those from minority ethnic backgrounds, to join the Anthony Nolan register. By doing so, you could be the lifeline someone desperately needs, offering them a second chance at life.”
Tour dates are as follows:
September 5th – The Victoria, Birmingham
September 6th – The Cluny 2, Newcastle
September 7th – McChuills, Glasgow
September 8th – Yellow Arch, Sheffield
September 11th – Bodega, Nottingham
