There are at least 3 bands called Venus In Furs (although one is The Venus In Furs):
- An influential post-punk band from Brighton.
- A recently-formed American band
- The name was used for an imaginary band in the film Velvet Goldmine:
1) A fictional glam group constructed for the 1998 Todd Haynes film Velvet Goldmine, Venus in Furs gets its name from a Velvet Underground song, which gets its name from the novella Venus in Furs published in 1870 by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (which is where the word masochism comes from).
