BATCAST 218: VOODOO 5 (SKIP HELLER & LENA MARIE CARDINALE) & "MOON OVER MARIN/EL TECOLOTE/FIRE DANCE
Exotica has come to Alternative Tentacles!
Get your search engines ready, the references go deep with this one! Tsunami Bomb's Dominic Davi sits down with composer/guitarist Skip Heller (producer to/protege of Robert Drasnin, orchestrator for Elisabeth Waldo, bandleader for Yma Sumac) & vocalist Lena Marie Cardinale (an operatic Sumac acolyte and former El Vez Elvette) of Voodoo 5.
In a genre where most bands are content to imitate old records, Voodoo 5. are making new ones – brave, bold, and unlike any exotica record you’ve ever heard. In preparation of their new 7" on Alternative Tentacles Records, "Moon Over Marin/ El Tecolote/ Fire Dance". Take a moment to step inside the world of Voodoo 5. and find out how this Exotica act came to cover Dead Kennedy's Moon Over Marin with guest vocals by the man himself, Jello Biafra!
