Deja Voodoo (Canadian Band) - Tours and Career

Tours and Career

Once Og Records took off, Déjà Voodoo started touring in across Canada. At first focusing on Ontario and Eastern Canada, however later they branched out to Western Canada going as far as Edmonton. Most interesting though is that Déjà Voodoo was able to embark on several European tours primarily in Greece and Finland. Despite the audience’s relatively small exposure to Canadian music, Déjà Voodoo managed to create a strong cult following, especially in Scandinavia, a feat which at that time no other underground Canadian artists had managed to achieve. In Canada, they did manage to get semi-regular airplay on CBC radio's overnight Brave New Waves program. As Déjà Voodoo’s popularity grew and other bands continued to sign on with Og records, Gerard and Tony started putting on popular indoor events, each December called “Voodoo BBQ’s”. Often held in Montreal, these massive public shows put on by Déjà Voodoo and other bands signed on to Og records often drew large crowds and were well received by critics. The last Voodoo BBQ was held in Toronto in 2008 as a kind of reunion show.
