'Meet Me At The Garage, Then Let's Hit The Road' Voodoo Six Live Review by Lolly Hotwheels

5/15/2013

Voodoo Six at The Garage, Highbury, North London. 09/05/2013

Thursday night of a four day week (thanks to the Bank Holiday) and we gather at The Garage, Highbury, North London  to watch Voodoo Six play the last of their UK gigs before heading off on the summer road, supporting IRON MAIDEN around Europe. 

Support from Fighting Wolves, (https://www.facebook.com/fightingwolves ) a London based rock band. I’d heard their track ‘One Minute More’ on the radio and it had grabbed me straight away, so I was glad to get to see them live. 

The second support was from New City Kings (https://www.facebook.com/newcitykingsofficial?fref=ts) formerly the Suburbians, a four piece from Brentwood, Essex, this was their first gig under the new name. I have to say I was impressed by the bass lines and the frontman’s drum duet/duel.

  VOODOO SIX take to the stage, no messing about, straight in to Like the Others Did from their album ‘Fluke?’ The performance is powerful full of energy, exactly what you want from a rock gig…seized by the first chord and held in its clutches for the next hour and a half.

I don’t really like making comparisons or indicating that a band sounds like another, but the influences, grooves and all round feel of this band spans so many styles, even genres in such a marvellous way it’s hard not to express similarities when trying to explain how good what you’re hearing is.  Let’s just say if you like Velvet Revolver, Foo Fighters, Clutch, Thin Lizzy, Hendrix, G’n’R and  I even  thought of Dire Straits at moments, you’ll probably like Voodoo Six.  They have aspects of Blues, Classic Rock, Funk, Metal and some almost Prog intros. Honestly, I really enjoyed every minute, as did the rest of the crowd. True musicianship.

Each member is quality, there’s no other word.  Voodoo Six are Tony Newton – Bass.  Luke Purdie –Vocals. Matt Pearce – Guitar. Chris Jones – Guitar. Joe Lazarus –Drums.

Without showboating there is plenty of performance and the band absolutely interact with the audience throughout. I don’t know if they make a point of playing to and getting eye contact with every member of the crowd, but it certainly feels like it.

After the first number Luke Purdie welcomed everyone and announced “We’re here to have a good night” and bosh, straight in to No Friend (Feed My Soul) pounding with great rhythm an almost ‘Foxy’ riff, naughty little drum fills and a dragging swoop. As with all the tracks, the bass is charging and the vocals are strong. 

I could quite easily write about every song, but I don’t have enough adjectives.

The guys played numbers spanning 3 albums. No Friend from ‘Feed My Soul’ 2006.  Tracks from ‘Fluke?’ 2010 included Long Way From Home, Like the Others Did, Take Aim, Something for You, Take The Blame and then encored with Live Again. The rest of the gig we were treated to 9 new songs from the 11 track album ‘Songs To Invade Countries To’ 2013 with Waiting in Line, Falling Knives, Your Way, All That Glitters, Lead Me On, Sharp Sand, You Don’t Know, Sink Or Swim and Stop.

Basically, to keep me happy when listening to music I want to hear key changes, travelling bass lines section changes that catch you off guard just a little bit, scale drops, time breaks. I want building to crescendos, time changes and bringing the groove back down again. I want it to cut out with a pause that makes you want more. I want guitar fills, wailing and intricate work on the fretboard. I want to hear all the notes you’ve got in a clever order that makes me think wah! I want vocals that say “Here I am and this is what I’m saying”. Strong and assertive, I want to hear heartbreak, passion, love, friendship, anger and conviction in tones which are complimented by the melody.  I want to see the band are enjoying it and that they’re playing off each other, accompanying one another and those special glinted eyes when they pass on stage.  If you share my demands on any of these criteria then I’d recommend checking Voodoo Six live.  I didn’t go home disappointed on Thursday night.

The Garage audience participation that night saw many pointed fingers during Take Aim over the sinister bass, wailing tickling magic of guitars alongside meaty riffs running scale ranges, hi-hat and tom work.

Sink or Swim’s driving rhythm was clapped in by the crowd, guitars wept and the audience rocked.

There was some call and response which (a bit like a Mexican Wave) I think everyone likes to be involved in sometimes?!  AND on 2 occasions I Wooed out loud!! They were proper woos as well, some of Matt Pearce’s guitar work had an especially bluesy soulful kind of magic and I couldn’t help myself.

The most brilliant thing was how well they worked together. Tony Newton could smile for Britain whilst knocking out some mischievous solid, almost bouncy bass lines. The way Matt Pearce and  Chris Jones don’t stick to ‘rhythm’ or ‘lead’ guitar roles really adds to the dynamic and you find yourself watching both sides of the stage at different times, marvelling at what each of them are up to.  I was impressed at Joe Lazarus’ tom and cymbal work on the drums and loved how Luke Purdie made his way over to the kit regularly to feel the power and then back to the mic to belt out some more no nonsense vocals, sometimes accompanied by Matt on backing vocals.  There were no dud performances. Each song was delivered with ultimate passion. Fantastic!

Reluctant to let the night end, the crowd called out for more and the Voodoo Six chaps provided an encore of Live Again and we were lead to a marching, driving, rocking end. Everyone was clapping and cheering and graciously they thanked the crowd and left the stage…. Watch out Europe you lucky, lucky people!

All the best to this great band.  (See below for tour dates and album release information)

 “This is a huge deal for us and an amazing opportunity to support arguably the most iconic band in metal history.

It’s going to be a very exciting year!” Luke Purdie
