Earlier this month, Mountain of Venus co-founder Jody Harris announced he would be leaving the group. Harris contributed vocals, rhythm guitar and a number of songs to the band. MOV, which relocated from Boston to Arkansas to facilitate national touring last year retains three of its original members, Tanya Shylock (vocals), Dave Gesualdo (bass) and Mike Pascale (guitar) along with drummer Michael ‘Stingray’ Garrett. The group currently has dates confirmed into October and Harris will continue to gig with the band until a new player joins.
