Travis' Review:
Phillip Boa and the Voodoo Club
I'm sorry but I did not enjoy this. I remember back around 1993
or '94 getting a disc from a friend of Phillip Boa doing really
poppy techno kind of stuff. Later from that same friend, I was
given a copy of the Voodoo Club in their first incarnation and
they were kind of metal, sort of cross-over but not really. Well,
in the present incarnation, they were neither of these things
but either would have been preferable. It was really mediocre
pop stuff with a female back-up and him running around looking
a little bit like Crispin Glover but none of the quirky actor's
mystique or charisma.
I know a lot of people felt differently at the show as the crowd
was immensely into the performance (I saw young children - like
seven or eight - with parents all wearing his shirts and merchandise
so he definitely has saturated the mainstream German music scene).
This however was the only band that I thought the set was too
long and a bit painful to watch.
