Voodoo Economic formed in early 2008 as a trio featuring Sascha Ion (guitar and vocals), Andrew Fuller (Guitars) and Shaun Lohoar (Percussion).
They recorded and released 2 EP’s “49 Weeks”(08) and “Aeroplane”(09),
the latter becoming somewhat of a cult favourite around the country following the band’s successful national tour earlier his year (check out the clip for “Aeroplane” on YouTube for sartorially excellent flight attendant action).
What has been said about Voodoo Economic……
“As compelling as 49 Weeks is, so too is it short, sharp and shiny (in a single malt whisky sort of way)” Beat Magazine
“Sascha Ion’s voice was made for smoky pubs, stadiums and basically anywhere the fuck she wants to take it…….This girl has lived and still comes up shining like a diamond in all respects.” Drum Media
“ Sascha Ion is absolutely mesmerizing throughout. She may not leap about the stage swinging the microphone around her head like a lasso but when her shoulders hunch up and that black river of sound comes pouring out of her body there’s nothing you can do except gape in amazement. Wow…” Xpress Magazine
With their new band member Ben Franz (The Waifs) on bass, the band recently recorded their debut album, “Slow Poison” at Atlantis Sound with David McCluney.
Slow Poison will be released in early 2010.
