Deja Voodoo (Canadian Band)
Déjà Voodoo was formed by Gerard van Herk (guitar and singing) and his friend Tony Dewald (drums). Combining 1950s horror imagery with rockabilly and country musical influences they created a sound which gained them a unique standing amongst Canadian artists. Van Herk's guitar only had the top four strings and he sang in a deep voice, whilst Dewald's drum kit had no cymbals, which resulted in a low-treble rock style they termed "sludgeabilly." The band toured in Canada, the United States and even Europe. Déjà Voodoo even managed to encourage other artists in Canada to form bands along similar musical styles. In Canada, the band was most renowned for live performances its annual “Voodoo BBQ’s,” the last of which was held on June 23, 2006.
