Special Event: Friday, 12/8/06
Direct from Vancouver, British Columbia … my friends Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dolls, held a spectacular performance at Bender’s in Denver this last friday. It appears that Denver might be annually on their circuit, and if so, I’ll be in my bliss. It’s really tough to explain this band in words - fantastic Rock-a-billy, Psycho-billy, dark rock n’ roll, with a twist of sounds like “The Stray Cats” and “White Stripes” with a sense of rhythm you can really dance to. Accompanied by the beautiful troupe of Voodoo dolls, who every other song do a burlesque performance or skit - from fire spinning to role playing nurses giving audience members “their medicine”. This tour is one of their most scintillating ever … and celebration is in the air as they preach their new CD. In addition in 2006 to be pleased that their music and performance was headlined in Vancouver’s International Burlesque Festival & the Voodoo Ball; played on season 3, episode 1 of Battlestar Galactica; and 2005 started by receiving first Canadian Jagermeister band endorsement. Big John as the singer, guitarist, and lead; sCaroline spanking the bass with outrageous twists, turns, and moves in her playing; in addition, adding in spectacular bellydancing performances; and the new addition JT Massacre on the drums. Little Miss Risk and the new arrival Ruby Roulette will melt your soul …. in dance, trance, and enchantment. If BJB and the Voodoo Dolls come to your town, it would be a big mistake to miss them … so step right up and “Take your Medicine” at a bar near you. Tour dates can be found at their web site. Highly recommended! Rating: 5+ stars out of 5.
