Purveyors of what the band describe themselves as “bourbon-soaked, gypsy blues, bop ‘n’stroll”, the nine piece Urban Voodoo Machine have a raw energy and real edge that is all too absent from most of today’s so-called rock and roll.Their album Rare Gumbo collects various recordings from over the years that give an idea of what goes into their rich musical stew - from fired-up polkas to hair raising rockabilly rave-ups, from low-slung, lascivious Stonesy raunch to slower howls that would feel very much at home on a Tom Waits record.  But really for this band it is all about the LIVE experience.
Both times that the band have played the Wild Hare Club have been riotous occasions, with audience as abandoned as the band.
