Voodoo Hussy

Voodoo Hussy’s sound can be described as punk-rock cabaret, combining pop melody with a hard rock punch, constantly delivered with high energy. Lead vocalist Shabby Joe’s sarcastic wit and intriguing charisma ensure all eyes on her. Backed by four talented and androgynously appealing ladies, she holds court firing sexual innuendo and political satire, belting out every song as though she were born performing. Liz (lead guitar), Pyro (rhythm guitar), Naj (bass) and Leanna (drums) provide doses of metal glory and punk power all with enough pop sensibility to appeal to the masses.
