#deja voodoo

Gerard van Herk (guitar and vocals) and Tony Dewald (drums) of Déjà Voodoo onstage and backstage at the Cat's Paw, probably in fall 1982, photographed by Marla Master.

Inspired by The Cramps, the cult Montreal-based duo developed a distinctive style which they termed "sludgeabilly”, blending their primitive, swampy and minimalistic psychobilly/garage punk sound with `50s horror themes and surreal, dark humour. Struggling to find an audience, they eventually launched Og Records to promote their stuff but never managed to break into the mainstream markets, remaining under the radar till the day they split up in 1990.

Both Tony and his wife were diagnosed with cancer only months apart -both for a second time, ffs-, so here's a GoFundMe link for anyone that wishes to help: https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-as-we-both-battle-cancer

Deja Voodoo

One Psycho Is Not Enough?

Okay so..., the “Deja Voodoo” fanfiction is really taking on a life of it’s own.  It’s gone from a story that was really never even going to be written to an ever-evolving entity.  I’m becoming afraid.

Latest wrinkle:  Sometime during the overnight hours - I really think it originally manifested in a dream - my sick, fevered little mind conceived of the idea to cross fandoms and add Billy Hargrove to the story.  Because hey!  One psycho isn’t enough for Julie to have to deal with, right?

Billy is coming to Derry (finally)!

Next chapter of “Deja Voodoo” is in finished, rough draft form. Revisions should be complete tomorrow morning, and the chapter posted tomorrow.
