The Engleson Files

As the artistic garbage of the 80’s continued to spiral down into the toilet I found that desperate choices had to be made in order to take control of my naive musical pallet. The syntho-crap that kept pouring out of the airwaves drove me crazy and, thankfully, (with the help of the Stinson brothers next door) I was introduced to punk music. Raw guitar, drums, bass and humorous themes is what intrigued me the most about the music and I was hooked immediately. One of the groups that captivated me from the first time I heard them was the two-man garage band out of Montreal called Deja Voodoo. I just thought their sound was so cool and I absolutely loved what their songs were about. The band is done now and it is almost impossible to find places that sell their records, which saddens me greatly. Every year when I come back to Victoria I go to the local music stores and ask but always come away empty handed. Oh well, nostalgia gets me through, but here is a teaser of their unique Voodooesque style!
