Neon Venus gets their audiences dancing with songs performed with raw energy on top of deep grooves of hip-hop and Latin influenced rock. They deliver tight three-part harmonies completing the full sound of the six-piece band composed of Peter Valentine (Guitar & Vocals), Pablo Alemann (Percussion), Michelle Aguirre (Bass), Lissette Salazar Napoleoni (Vocals), Roger Hilmer (Keyboards), Pete Roman (Drums) and Nestor Salazar (Percussion) The concert stage is located at the Third Street Promenade’s Center Court on the 1300 block between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue.
