"John Lee Hooker meets The Doors" .. Keep that in mind and you'll know what kind of places 'Losing My Cool' will take you to. With their first full album, Belgian band Voodoo Boogie presents twelve songs, all with traditional blues roots, but at the same time very much influenced by psychedelica, (garage) rock and world music. After several preproductions with top producers such as Jan Ieven (ex El Fish, ex The Rhythm Junks) and Marc T (TEE, The Electric Kings), Voodoo Boogie decided they were ready to produce their first full CD.

Voodoo Boogie is not a traditional blues band. They prefer to describe their music as 'psychedelic boogiematic roots'. With that kind of stuff, no wonder they quickly developed into a band with an excellent live reputation, both in and around Belgium. Each time this exciting band performs, they create an ambience that will haunt you until long after the gig. The eight originals and four original interpretations of old blues songs on 'Losing My Cool' will do exactly the same thing, only off stage this time.

Voodoo Boogie was born in 2004. Founding members Jan Jaspers and Gert Servaes previously played with blues bands like High Five Jive, Dizzy Dimples and Big Mama's Kitchen, and also backed up American artists, such as Louisiana Red and Keith Dunn. Bass player Rob Vanspauwen and drummer Gert Servaes are Voodoo Boogie's groove machine, or the perfect engine for a hypnotising trip with Wouter Haest on piano, hammond and rhodes, and Jan Jaspers on vocals and guitars.

This is Voodoo Boogie, an idiosyncratic four-man band from Limburg, Belgium, blending their raw delta blues inspiration with garage and psychedelic rock in a most unconventional way. And yes, to put it mildly, they are getting away with it... When Voodoo Boogie plug in in 2004, their aim is to create a greasy, compelling sound. Not a simple task for four musicians from different backgrounds (blues, alternative, funk, pop), all trying to bring in their own hallmarks. And yet, their visions on music have got one factor in common: creating the ultimate deep, hypnotising groove, entrancing songs that make you lose yourself, and give you the out-of-this-world experience. Indeed, not a simple task, but the very first result of their query is spot-on: their 2006 debut EP, produced by Marc T, (remember 'Noordkaap' and 'Soulwax'), puts Voodoo Boogie on the map. But there is hunger for more, of course...
