The Urban Voodoo Machine | London

A London concert by The Urban Voodoo Machine, a band formed in 2003, staged as a birthday celebration for singer, songwriter and guitarist Paul-Ronney Angel at Signature Brew in Blackhorse Road.

The Urban Voodoo Machine are a London band, active since 2003, built around a collective of musicians and performers. Their music draws on jazz in the Preservation Hall tradition, folk from Eastern Europe and rock and roll, and the band describes its own sound as a bourbon-soaked gypsy blues bop and stroll. They have released several critically acclaimed albums, have toured with The Pogues and New York Dolls, and have appeared at both Download and the Montreux festival.

This night marks a birthday celebration for Paul-Ronney Angel, billed as a Big Bad Brewery Birthday Bash, with many guest performers joining the band. In concert, the group presents a raucous, theatrical show that mixes circus-style spectacle with theatre and rock and roll, and a large cast often appears on stage together. Their devoted following tends to dress in black and red.

Signature Brew Blackhorse Road hosts concerts and shows in London. The evening suits listeners who want to hear the band's blend of jazz, folk and rock and roll, and anyone who has enjoyed their theatrical live performances.
