Alex Novak Venus Fly Trap, Religious Overdose, Attrition, and The Tempest - in conversation with David Eastaugh
The band was formed by Alex Novak (vocals, formerly of Religious Overdose, Attrition, and The Tempest) and John Novak (guitar, vocals, formerly Where's Lisse?), and Tony Booker on bass guitar prior to their debut twelve-inch single "Morphine" in March 1988.
A further single followed later that year - the three-track Desolation Railway 12 inch EP - released their debut mini album Mars in 1988, collecting tracks from the earlier singles alongside several new numbers.

Great interview ! You and Andy Denton played a great gig at the weekend. Nice to hear him mentioned as he’s been playing and writing in Venus Fly Trap for years.

Really interesting to hear Alex filling in the gaps I didn’t know from our conversations on his musical pedigree. His work ethic and dedication to music has made him an institution in Northampton. Long may he continue!
