Artist History The idea that eventually would become See Venus began on Christopher Moll's (guitarist and founder) home computer in the mid-Nineties. He had just endured the breakup of his previous band, a power-pop trio called Twenty-three, leaving behind an incomplete catalogue of songs. He began toying with samples and then decided to quit lead-vocal duties and focus on a search for another singer. He met Ordoņez one night at a Coral Gables art gallery. Alonso came into the picture next. “He has this hypermelodic style that blends very well with what we're doing right now,” says Moll. “I will say this, and I'm very pleased about it, too: This is the first time I've been able to sit and collaborate with somebody musically.”
