A hip-shakin' concoction of twisted, voodoo rock n roll and hell-catchy swamp anthems!
... sounds like a mighty good idea to turn it up to maximum volume...
We endorse ALL the wrong notes, bad girls, bad taste and a bad attitute.... voodoo voodoo!
Our debut EP Swampwater Shuffle (Aug 07) - features harrowing tales of trigger-happy vixens, cleaver-wielding high-steppers, lost love, and lost body parts... it's a wild mess of voodoo rhythms, twisted jazz and stompin' swamp!
"..this is a great EP from a refreshingly unique local band. The music is instantly catchy, danceable and accessible – whilst still remaining individual. I can’t wait for an album."
Dan Wright (Perthbands.com)

Make a voodoo doll of the Old Pretender @ Blakey Records and stick lots of pins in for me, then smoother it in honey and leave it out in the hot, hot sun for a couple of days ? That will show the bounder what for. Even send me a picy of it and i will give it top billing on my page. Keep up the good work old fruit, your humble servant Sir Cyril.
