Venus Fly Trap were formed in Northampton, UK, in the late 1980's.
Their eclectic style of alternative music blended post-punk with goth to form a dark psychedelic hybrid.

Early releases came out via French label DANCETERIA (Venus In Fleurs) that led to tours in France, Belgium and Germany.
European interest has always been strong further albums came out via AZYL (Czech Republic), SPECTRE (Germany), SOUNDBUSTER (Germany) and SPV (Germany/Poland).
More tours followed getting to new territories including Holland, Czech Republic, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Poland.
Major festival appearances have had the band sharing the stage with the likes of New Model Army, Das Ich (Castle Party, Poland), Psyche (Vampira, Warsaw, Poland), Clan of Xymox (Gotham, London, UK) and Two Witches (Carnival of Souls, UK).
Veering away from mid-period alternative rock later albums embraced dark electronica and surreal psychedelic atmospherics. Recently the back catalog has been re-vamped / reissued to be closely followed by the latest album ZENITH and a DVD video compilation CELLULOID.
