All About Me
Voodoo Economic play short, sharp songs.
Led by Sascha Ion, this quartet sings songs about angles and edges and the spaces in-between. The name was inspired by THAT scene in Ferris Bullers Day Off anyone anyone, anyone and not Reagan-era economic theory.
Informed by the analogue grunt of Blues Explosion, Beasts of Bourbon, Suzi Quatro and Ike & Tina Turner, Voodoo Economic melds the sonic boom interplay of Andrew Fuller on guitar, the bass backbone of Ben Franz and kick-snare finesse of Shaun Lohoar on percussion in support of Ion's distinctive vocal power.
“Sascha Ion’s voice was made for smoky pubs, stadiums and basically anywhere the fuck she wants to take it … This girl has lived and still comes up shining like a diamond in all respects.†Drum Media
“Sascha Ion is absolutely mesmerising throughout. … when her shoulders hunch up and that black river of sound comes pouring out of her body there’s nothing you can do except gape in amazement. Wow…†XPress Magazine
In 2008, Voodoo Economic’s first EP, “49 Weeks†was roundly praised:
“Ion has always been one of our most interesting voices and with 49 Weeks she continues to be so.†XPress Magazine
“as compelling as 49 Weeks is, so too is it short, sharp and shiny (in a single malt whisky sort of way)†Beat Magazine
The band released their second EP in July 2009 “Aeroplaneâ€Â, recorded at Atlantis Studios with Dave McCluney (Brian Henry Hooper, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Mick Harvey, Sarah Blasko).
The band released their debut album, entitled "Slow Poison" recorded again with Dave McCluney at Altantis Sound, with new member Ben Franz (bass) and guests Gareth Skinner (Bzark) and Ronan Charles (Little Organ Trio). The title track "Slow Poison" was released in December 2009 and the album was released in April 2010.
