Commander Venus - The Uneventful Vacation LP

Not long before recording his first songs for Bright Eyes, 14-year-old singer-songwriter Conor Oberst co-founded Commander Venus alongside bassist (and future Cursive frontman) Tim Kasher, guitarist Robb Nansel (now president of Saddle Creek Records) and drummer Matt Bowen (who would soon join the Faint and be replaced by Ben Armstrong).

After releasing their 1995 debut, "Do You Feel at Home?", the Omaha indie rockers caught the attention of Wind-up Records, who backed the group’s sophomore album, "The Uneventful Vacation". While "The Uneventful Vacation" marked the musicians’ final record together, before they each embarked on their next ventures, this formative album has since become a cult favourite in the ’90s emo canon.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album, this reissue features red-and-black-smoke vinyl and all-analog mastering from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio. Limited to 4,600 units worldwide, this edition also includes the bonus track Congratulations!, which appeared on the original vinyl release.
