Go Team Venture!

JG Thirlwell is a Melbourne, Australia-born composer/producer/performer based in Brooklyn NY. After working with experimental group Nurse With Wound, Thirlwell started making his own records in 1980. He was inspired by the post-punk explosion of creativity in the UK which engendered the accessibility of DIY, as well as the writings of John Cage and systems music, among other things.

His unique and influential score for The Venture Bros. Television series has garnered widespread critical acclaim. He was nominated for an Annie Award (the highest honor in the field of animation) for his "outstanding achievement in music" on The Venture Bros in 2016. He created the musical score for the show since it's debut in 2003 until it finished it's run with Season 7 in 2019. The Venture Bros returned in 2023 with a movie for HBO, which Thirlwell also scored.

The first volume of Venture Bros soundtracks was released in 2009, the second was released in 2016, and the third in 2025. The vinyl for Vol. 1 is out of print but it is still available on CD.
