The Wombats at Voodoo Experience 10/28/11 (Photos & Review)
Matthew Murphy (Murph) Dan Haggis Tord Øverland-Knudsen http://www.thewombats.co.uk/ The Wombats of Liverpool, England were one of the top highlights of Voodoo Fest. The whimsical indie rock band drew an upbeat and hard-partying crowd even though they played at 2:15 PM. The Wombat’s quirky personalities would mesh well with the guys from Blink 182, because both performances were full of naughty jokes. For instance, more than one Wombat song was introduced as being about “falling in love with a prostitute.” The group commanded the obedient crowd to get out their “pretty smart dance moves you don’t get out for everybody.” One die-hard fan from England was happy to oblige and happily…

My Chemical Romance at Voodoo Fest 10/28/11 (Photos & Review)
Gerard Way Mikey Way Ray Toro Frank Iero http://www.mychemicalromance.com http://www.myspace.com/mychemicalromance http://youtube.com/mychemicalromance http://www.mychemicalromance.com/store http://twitter.com/MCRofficial The Voodoo Experience was the last stop on My Chemical Romance’s 2011 US tour. Their hour long set was a dazzling array of their greatest hits. MCR are experts at being able to command a large stage. In fact, the bigger the stage, the harder they rock. In celebration of Voodoo and Halloween, the band wore medieval costumes that worked well with the red, orange, and yellow lighting. Gerard rightfully fished for positive feedback from the crowd by asking, “Did any other band dress up for you other than the same ‘ol rock ‘n roll shit?” Die-hard MCR…

Civil Twilight at Voodoo Experience in New Orleans 10/28/11(Photos & Review)
Andrew McKellar Steven McKellar Richard Wouters http://www.civiltwilightband.com http://civiltwilightband.tumblr.com http://twitter.com/civiltwilight Civil Twilight is a rock band out of Cape Town, South Africa that should be on your list of bands to take notice of. They cite Oasis, U2 and Nirvana,The Verve, The Police, Muse and Radiohead as their main inspirations. We had heard great things about Civil Twilight and knew their performance was a MUST SEE at Voodoo. Live Civil Twilight sounded wonderfully robust and had a sophisticated smooth style. Their blended melodies are admirable and singer Steven has a captivating voice. Check out photos from their set!
