Saw That Voodoo play at The Bee Hotel in Rhyl, a bit of a dive of a place just by the train station, (we jumped the train from the Bay).
Took my little tape recorder to bootleg the gig cos if I’m gonna take being a fanzine editor seriously then I need to support local bands and cover them in the next issue of Crud.
The band came from Llandudno and formed last year after MCM split and they featured Andre Valero (bass,voc), Matt Davies (gtr,voc), Simon (drms), Julie (keys,voc), Sally (b.voc).
Also featured at some point Shaun Davies who later joined the marines (not doubt after watching Full Metal Jacket, which hit the big screens later this year).
That Voodoo had a delay pedal rigged up to the microphone that made some cool effects. They were definitely influenced by B.A.D. and Spear of Destiny, two bands I didn’t at the time particularly rank highly, apart from SOD’s Liberator, which we slam danced ourselves into bruised oblivion on the Bistro dancefloor.
Matt later formed Charlex Dexter Ward Experiment, and sadly died in 2002.
