The Urban Voodoo Machine launch their new album in the north-east.
HELLBOUND HYMNS is the 4th studio album from London’s Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop’N’Stroll Orchestra, The Urban Voodoo Machine and in a break with tradition they are launching it in the Newcastle and Middlesbrough.
Mainman Paul-Ronnney Angel said: “We love playing the north-east. We are launching our new album ‘Hellbound Hymns’ at The Cluny on Friday 27th May, last time we played Newcastle it was as the O2 and the crowd were really up for a good time. The following day we return to Teesside to play the Westgarth Social Club in Middlesbrough on Saturday 28th May, our previous visit was an incredible hot’n’sweaty sell-out show at the Georgian Theatre, we are privileged to have a good following there. Even though we are a London band I can’t think of anywhere better to celebrate its release.”
London’s bourbon-soaked gypsy blues, bop ‘n’ stroll band The Urban Voodoo Machine are back with their fourth album Hellbound Hymns and a UK tour to match. Having played Glastonbury, Download, Latitude, Bestival and Hard Rock Calling, toured with The Pogues, the New York Dolls plus received love & support from Radio 2’s Paul Jones & Huey Morgan, 6Music’s Gideon Coe & Chris Hawkins, the Guardian, Q Mag, Classic Rock and Vive Le Rock for their previous albums, Hellbound Hymns marks a new chapter in the band’s story. It’s a mash-up of guitars, drums, upright bass, horns, violin, piano, accordion, bouzouki, Hammond organ and more, all topped up with the gravelly voice of Mr Paul-Ronney Angel telling tales from the dark side. Produced by Paul-Ronney and The Late J-Roni-Moe, engineered by Alex McGowan at Space Eko Studios and mastered with help from Jim Jones (of The Jim Jones Revue), the album marks the band’s 13th year and features 13 tracks that can be heard on their Lucky 13 Tour rolling out this spring and summer.
