Started in 1998 in The Hague (nl), Venus Flytrap gradually gained commercial and artistic success in the Lowlands. In the first year of their existence they scored a hit with the video “The Gift”, even without a record deal. Shifting from the mid-90s popular rock sound into more melodic and dynamic alternative pop/rock with the use of samples, they released their first full-length album This is your Exit Plan (Fount Records) in 2000. This release and intensive touring put Venus Flytrap in a leading role in the Dutch independent pop/rock scene.
Taking their time to write new material, their next album Hoovering was released by My First Sonny Weissmuller Recordings/Konkurrent in May 2003. Again, reviews were raving: “Brilliant popsongs”, “Intriguing web of sad songs and mysterious soudscapes” (Aloha Magazine), “Mesmerizing mixture of melody, experiment, warmth and emotion” (Oor Magazine), “Venus Flytrap sets the standard for Dutch bands” (File Under e-mag).
Invited by the SouthBySouthWest organisation to play at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, Venus Flytrap toured in the United States in March 2004. A year later, in 2005, Venus Flytrap went back to the US for their second tour, this time playing some big cities on the East Coast, including New York (CBGB and Sin-e), Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC.
2007 marks the release of their new album Come With Us. Darker and heavier than ever before, with screaming guitars, bold, tight bass and drums, noise, and electronic soundscapes. The result is a hypnotic indie 'wall of sound', reminiscent of Motorpsycho, Sonic Youth and dEUS.
