Influences
old school punk when the word "rock" was attached.
dark "New Wave."
Morbid comedy. Beer.
Sounds Like
Ramones meets Devo? Who cares. We've got about 7 albums worth of modestly-recorded material and enough personal finances to put out one DIY album every 6 years. And not everything sounds the same. There are anomalies, like X's synthesizer sleep music, Lars' multi-media course soundtrack, and Larry's embarrassing sappy shit.
NEXT SHOW: Sat. Sept. 26th 2009 @ O'BRIEN'S (Larry's Birthday) w/ THE EGOS, KERMIT'S FINGER, & PADDED HELL.****************
LAST SHOW: April Fools Ball 2009 with Killer Abs, Pariah Beat and Sidewalk Driver was a blast. See our cover of Devo's Beautiful World performed live @ The Midway Cafe on You Tube:

We'll be booking one more show before year's end and X has but one remaining track to mix and Triple Suicide--the third album--will be finally done!
Hopefully, before global economic collapse. (It has 31 tracks and includes Lars' album Eating Eight from his novel of the same name).....................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Critically acclaimed, commercially ignorant, and financially challenged, Penis Fly Trap is poised to complete their trilogy of the "Celebration of Human Failure."
MICHAEL AMERICAN (1996)
CIVIL WAR II (2002)
TRIPLE SUICIDE (2010)
Taking DIY to maverick, ideological and almost lackluster extremes, the music of Penis Fly Trap is self-produced, self-recorded, self-designed, and self-everythinged. Over their 15-year non-career they have amassed a catalogue of over 150 songs.
Both MICHAEL AMERICAN--originally released as a split CD with Kermit's Finger--and CIVIL WAR II, their prophetic, 21-track second "album," are available at CDBaby.com and various digital download sites (Rhapsody, ITunes etc.)
See Penis Fly Trap and Larry's amusing battle with the Devil in the November 2006 issue of Blender. The one with Christina Aguilera on the cover, page 32. (You can click on the article in our pics section and read it there, too.)

Attention, crimefighters: Killer Abs at the Midway tomorrow (as in Fri) night! The Young Tremors will open it up with some sweet soul sugar. We're up next to dazzle you with enthusiastic mediocrity! Then Jay Allen & the Archcriminals will make you forget you're a man. Batting clean-up are the Fighting Cocks, and they can damn sure fight their way out of a paper bag, at least.
There’s a supposed big snow storm hitting tomorrow and Penis Fly Trap doesn’t have a scheduled show to coincide? That’s weird! Enjoy the Holidays. Cheers- denis
