Sounds LikeA 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!

Gator surfin!

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)

Queen of the Voodoo Betty Bombshell and her stompin' quartet have cooked up a brand new platter of knee-tremblin' swampabilly and HIP-SHAKIN’ VOODOO, and it sure as hell lives up to it’s name... with an eye-popping cover by killer artist VINCE RAY, and 13 stompin', wickedly infectious toons - if you ain’t shakin’ all over after a dose of this, there ain’t NO hope for ya!
