'Transit of Venus' is a mutatable project band hatched by Auckland based composer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kristie Addison. 'Nosferatu' is a german expressionist silent horror film created in 1922 by F.W. Murnau.

Transit of Venus vs. Nosferatu is an 84 minute long rock-opera style concept album performed live in accompaniment to a screening of the movie. The music gifts new emotion and narrative to the classic horror film, beautiful progressive soundscapes are dotted with starry eyed songs about love and death. Its a modern musical interpretation of the olden-time romance and tragedy, and not without a touch of black humour.

Initially performed in 2009 as a 'once off' show at TAPAC (The Auckland Performing Arts Centre), the music was recorded and released online and has been loved by secret pockets of underground music fans from many corners of the world.

2012s show has been reworked and partly rewritten, and is presented by a mostly new line-up of performers; Adam Willis, Diamond Fist Willie, and Kristie Addison. Narrated by Tom Wardle.
