Biography
There are two bands with this name.
1 - Deja Voodoo began as the fictional house band for the New Zealand show Back Of The Y Masterpiece Television. In the show, the 15 seconds of mimed rock n’ roll of the band and three posers produced at the start of each episode was enough to score them a nationwide orientation tour. But first they had to become a real band, so after a week of intensive song learning and writing the band were ready to roll.
Deja Voodoo weren’t good but they weren’t as bad as some had hoped. They bemused audiences from Dunedin to Auckland, the only saving grace being the finale when the band member smashed ten burning acoustic guitars over Chris Stapp’s head. The tour was featured in the now legendary TV special ‘Back of the Y goes to Hollywood’, with the band supplying the entire soundtrack.
On returning from the tour the band hit its first obstacle when drummer Phil ‘Spanners Watson’ Bruff quit the band in disgust and went off to the UK. He was replaced by Matt’s girlfriend’s little brother James and they were off again. This time they were determined to become the best band in Auckland. After several practices they realised that this was an impossible dream. They settled for not being the worst and celebrated by building a massive Deja Voodoo sign and playing five sold out gigs around Auckland.
