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.
==Early days==
Both born in 1960s, Gerard and Tony both grew up in Montreal. During the 70s both men went to several concerts for local punk groups. In 1981, the two joined together to form Deja Voodoo. Their music generally consisted of short songs influenced by rockabilly and punk artists. Another major influence was the American punk band The Cramps. The Cramps had managed to achieve a degree of success in the late 70s with their own gothic look. As Deja Voodoo was embarking on its first performances, Montreal was receiving an influx of immigrants from Western Canada and independent record labels were starting to spring up. In turn numerous niche bands began to appear across the city. As a result of an over saturated market Déjà Voodoo struggled to find an audience in its first year. While they remained popular locally in Montreal it wasn't until 1982 that the two-man band began to see interest outside of Quebec, particularly in Toronto.
