2017 Year In Review

2017-12-30

As 2017 comes to a close we look back at a great year for our band.

Back in February Mike Rigler joined the band, he has brought so much positive energy and musicianship to Voodoo Vegas, the future is certainly bright.

In July we played our 1st ever show in Estonia at Amme Rock Festival as well as playing in Sweden for the 1st time in September.

We toured The Netherlands and the U.K. with Y&T, and played some awesome shows and festivals in Germany, France and Belgium.

In August one of our gig highlights was headlining Monmouth Festival. We also played Winters End festival for Planet Rock and Hard Rock Hell AOR Festival.

Sadly our huge show in China was cancelled just 2 weeks before the date. We hope we can rock China in 2018.

In December we began pre production on our 3rd album with Will Maya, we had one of the most creative and exciting weekends of song writing this band has ever had. We are all super pumped to begin work on album number 3.

We hope every one of you has a safe remainder of 2017.

Thank you for your continued support.

2018 will bring us a new album and hopefully loads of awesome shows, festivals and experiences.

Happy New Year,

Much Love

Lawrence, Ash, Meryl, Jon and Mike Rigler

Live Review -Glasgow Garage

2017-11-27

Great live review from our set at The Glasgow Garage supporting Y&T earlier this month.

Review from Metaltalk.net

.......

Bournemouth's rapidly rising quintet Voodoo Vegas have been making a name for themselves over the past few years. Over the years they've shared stages with some of the biggest names in rock n' roll including ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, Status Quo and Y&T all over Europe.

Their last full-length studio effort was their excellent debut album, 'The Rise of Jimmy Silver', back in 2013 which was followed up by the 'Hypnotise' EP a year later and their most recent release, 2016's 'Freak Show Candy Floss' was a favourite release of mine – and still is.

Although they may have been quiet in the recording stakes, the Voodoo Vegas' touring schedule, on the other hand, has been relentless around the UK and Europe but not, as front man Lawrence Case points out have they been so prolific north of the border.

"We only found out about this show a week ago" he explained before adding that it's been a long time since they last ventured up to Glasgow before joking "Scotland – it's such a long way!"

Indeed, an eight hour plus drive for a thirty-minute set shows how much these kinds of opportunities mean to Voodoo Vegas and they didn't shirk their responsibilities when it came to entertainment.

With an early curfew on the venue due to their club night, the Dorsetters were unfortunately not playing to a full house but their performance could have had you thinking that they were.

For those en route to the venue when they played, you missed a great set from a truly under-rated British act. Pulling tracks from all their releases, the band put in a storming set in front of the small but very appreciative audience.

Lawrence is a truly fantastic front man who just oozes charisma and talent while guitarist Merylina Hamilton put in a stunning performance.

Highlights included 'The Ferry Song' and 'So Unkind' which had a bit of audience participation added to the mix while it was very much a case of leaving the best till last with 'King Without A Crown'.

If you haven't heard of Voodoo Vegas, go and seek them out because bands with this much talent need your support now more than ever.

Voodoo Vegas Release New Video 'Resolution'

2017-08-30

MADE IN BOURNEMOUTH – PLAYED IN CHINA

VOODOO VEGAS TO PLAY CHINESE MUSIC FESTIVAL & HAVE RELEASED THEIR NEW VIDEO, ‘RESOLUTION’

Come October 3rd, Bournemouth-based UK rock band ‘Voodoo Vegas’ will be playing The Western China Music Festival’ in Dujiangyan China. They’ll be the first (and only) UK band to ever play this festival. What’s more, Voodoo Vegas will be playing to a massive crowd, expected to number around 100,000 people: the biggest audience the band have ever played to!

Voodoo Vegas are: Lawrence Case - Vocals / Harmonica; Meryl Hamilton – Guitar; Ash Moulton – Bass; Mike Rigler – Drums; and Jon Dawson – Guitar. Together they make up a high energy 5-piece rock band, playing all over the UK and regularly touring Europe, taking influences from classic and modern rock sounds. Now, Voodoo Vegas are extending their touring to the Far East!

All of the band are unbelievably excited to be playing in China. “This is a huge deal for all of us,” says frontman Lawrence Case, “We can’t believe we are playing the show; we feel like we’ve won the lottery!”

Playing China isn’t plain sailing. It has taken around 4 months to confirm the show after the festival initially made contact with the band, and making arrangements has taken time and effort. Voodoo Vegas have had to send all of their music to the Chinese Cultural Secretary, as well as every single lyric to every song they’ve ever written, in order to demonstrate to the Chinese authorities that their material has no controversial political overtones.

Getting to China will involve a long journey, but the band can’t wait to get there and play in this fascinating country.

The band’s appearance at the Western China Music Festival show comes in the middle of a run of UK and European dates from September onwards. Voodoo Vegas will also be playing 2 shows in Sweden (their first ever shows in that country) Then, later in October the band will be touring The Netherlands playing four dates with legendary rockers Y&T.

Never ones to rest on their laurels, Voodoo Vegas have also just released their latest video, ‘Resolution’ (the 4th single from the band’s sophomore album 'Freak Show Candy Floss’), a colourful, dynamic performance of the song, filmed by HP Music (Harrison Perks & Craig Jones), that captures the band’s energy.

Energy soon to be exported to China!

Video - Voodoo Vegas live at HRH unplugged

Hard Rock Hell TV have just posted a video of our unplugged set at this years Hard Rock Hell AOR festival.

The video includes 3 songs.

1. Killing Joke

Check out the video below.

NEW SINGLE 'SLEEPING IN THE RAIN' RELEASED MAY 12th

2017-05-03

It’s been over fifty years since Bob Dylan stood in an alley, in shades, flipping signs to flash up the lyrics to ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’. Now, Voodoo Vegas take a new and meaningful spin on signing up lyrics in the street with their striking new video for ‘Sleeping in the Rain’. The video shows a young street homeless man, holding up a single sign, onto which the song’s powerful lyrics about what it feels like to be homeless are displayed, while people walk by, oblivious to his presence, words or plight.

It’s a poignant song, with a powerful message. Voodoo Vegas wrote it for their second album ‘Freak Show Candy Floss’ and have dedicated its release as a single to the charity Crisis, which campaigns on the issue of homelessness and directly helps those affected by it. All proceeds from ‘Sleeping in the Rain’ are going to Crisis, to support their vital work.

“ ’Sleeping in the Rain’ is a very personal song for me,” explains frontman Lawrence Case, “Playing shows in different towns and cities around the UK, I’ve noticed that many of the streets are full of rough sleepers. I’ve read a lot of articles on homelessness and often will help out rough sleepers by buying them food and trying to help them get into a shelter for the night.

“I think it really sucks how in city centres around the UK hundreds of people can walk past a homeless man/woman and not offer to buy them a drink or a sandwich or even say hello. This is where the idea for the lyrics come from.”

Lawrence discussed the song with comic artist Jason Johnson, who captured the view in his head for the distinctive look and artwork of the animated video, realised by Cloud Music Typography.

Voodoo Vegas are:

Lawrence Case – Vocals / Harmonica;

Meryl Hamilton – Guitar;

Ash Moulton – Bass;

Mike Rigler – Drums;

Jon Dawson – Guitar.

Together they make up a high energy 5-piece rock band, playing all over the UK and regularly touring Europe, taking influences from classic and modern rock sounds.

“’Freak Show Candy Floss’ is the first music written entirely with the new Voodoo Vegas line up,” Lawrence adds, “Where some bands find it hard to write their second album, Voodoo Vegas had a ton of energy going into the writing of this album and it didn’t feel like writing our second album, it felt like this was our first.”

It’s been an amazing year for Voodoo Vegas, who’ve not only released their album, but played festivals and toured in UK, France, Holland, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Estonia, Sweden, and Germany (playing to 30,000 people at the Rhineland Palatinate Parade). They’ve shared stages with the likes of Fozzy, Y&T, Status Quo, Uriah Heep, The Quireboys, Joe Satriani, and Phil Campbell.

What’s more, in 2017, Voodoo Vegas announce they will be going back out on the road with a 4 date Holland tour, with the legendary Y&T.

“Clearly a band passionate about what they are doing, and working hard to capture and convey their energy and dynamic range to a broader audience”, as Rock N’ Load put it.
