Deja Voodoo -- Cemetery LP

[@simpsonelli]

My friend and I learned all these songs around 1992(but had been fans since late 80s). One night we went in unannounced to local restaurants on the beach strip where we lived... and played these tunes until we got kicked out, then we moved on to the next and did it again 😂 then we busked them down at the pier there. One of the greatest Canadian albums of all time!! RIP Tony!!

My favourite band in the mid 80s. Saw them at least six times as they passed through Winnipeg. Can't believe there's not a single video of them on KZbin. Let me paint the picture: singer was tall and skinny, dressed like a mortician with a rubber skeleton instead of a tie. Drummer was a punk rocker and held the drumsticks in his fists, and looked angry the whole show, occasionally screaming. They drove an Edsel while touring (until it died). A cooler band has never walked the earth.

I saw them twice! Sludgeabilly was their thing! Last I heard one guy was a professor the other a Brewmaster.

There is a short doc on that other vid streaming platform that starts with a "V". Search on "You're No Fun ( When your heads' All Mushy)".

Love this duo. Saw them in the 80s at the Owl U of R.

[@ryanpodloski8177]

The most important duo in Canadian history.

Still love deja voodoo today. My youngest 23 yr old stilllistens to it on a cassette tape. No LP anymore so albums were tossed in a move. Toured Australia in 88 with a buddy and a cassette player. Rewrote lyrics to may songs as be drove the east coast surfing for a couple months

Nice, thanks! I saw them in Helsinki, a very intimate club and a brilliant performance! Canadian excellence? Humour in any case :-)

They were from montreal I believe. I saw them a few times circa 1986 and the reason the guitar has limited cords is that one string was missing which is part of what made the sludge sound. The best part of deja voodoo was that every time you saw them you realized that what made music special was not the instruments or even technical skill but the energy and love they put into it. That was all they needed. It was special, even exceptional.

[@rickgreen2957]

How right you are, Justin. I never saw or heard of Deja Voodoo back in the day, but what I knew of Tony in his brewing days after, this sums it up quite well. It wasn't just the barriers he pushed with the West Coast IPAs he was brewing, he did it with energy and love that drew a devoted following.

Bought this on LP when it first came out, Brilliant. Still love it today.

Thanks for posting. I saw them at the University of New Brunswick back in the 80's. I even got up to slam dance during a set (1st and only time I did this LOL).

Complete with record scratch at the beginning. JUST LIKE MY COPY!! 😍

[@jefff4188]

It was recorded in a dirt floor basement.

[@pmbear]

Jeff F regardless... I was only joking. My version has no scratch. But still it lends character.

Thanks for uploading. I had this on tape in the 80's.

[@jeffreyschwartz877]

Thanks for uploading the album Daniel, mine went missing a few moves ago. They were an incredibly cool Montreal based band, they played all the grungy clubs and had their classic Voodo BBQ in the summers. I saw them countless times.

[@Dats_Lyfe]

Fantastic. Very enjoyable.

[@americanbulldoggrrrl1784]

Thank you so much for the epic upload. Been looking for this album for awhile.
