THE VOODOO TROMBONE QUARTET are a cult band from London whose unique sound blends the flavor of old ska 45s, lounge and exotica with a wry sense of humor and a contemporary dance-floor sensibility. The result is somehow much more modern than that might imply. http://www.myspace.com/voodootrombonequartet Formed in 2004 the bands first tracks were made freely available on the internet by their creator as supposedly 'rediscovered' originals. The joke soon backfired however when the tracks became immensely popular in their own right and each one clocked up thousands of downloads. The newly formed independent label Freshly Squeezed Music duly took note and signed the band for their eponymous debut album in 2005. A live 8-piece, fez-wearing monster ("there aren't four of them and they don't all play trombone") was subsequently put together to tour the material and dates swiftly followed at clubs and festivals across Europe including Glastonbury and Bestival. http://www.voodootrombonequartet.com http://www.discogs.com/artist/Voodoo+Trombone+Quartet,+The http://www.freshlysqueezedmusic.com
