“With their distinctive psych rock and tribal influences (not to mention the booming, soulful vocals of vocalist Oya [Chantal Brown]), Vodun are certainly a very original entity within the UK’s current stoner/doom scene. ” – Terrorizer, April 2016

“Rock + Disco + Badass; Circus VIII are a new and exciting genre-defying collective of some the finest session musicians London has to offer. Too eclectic to pin down, but rooted firmly in rock & funk grooves, some have described them as London’s answer to ‘Snarky Puppy’. At it’s core, the band consist of Jason Tebble on bass, Jon Harris on drums, and David D’Andre (Odyssey) on guitar, with dynamic rotating guest vocalists found in Chantal Brown (Do Me Bad Things, Vodun), Gaz Twist (Killit) & Mark Harrison (West End Theatre). The horns section is the phenomenally cohesive grip in the band & brings everything together, graced by Winston Rollins (Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, Jamiroquai) and Toby Stewart (James Brown, Robbie Williams, Spice Girls). Meandering through expertly delivered prog-rock sections to euphoric soulful choruses and a renegade hip-hip energy, Circus VIII are definitely a musicians band, and one to watch for 2017.”
“Do Me Bad Things were a nine-piece blues/rock/soul/metal band from Croydon, London, who formed in 2003 and split up in January 2006… In 2005, their debut album, Yes! was issued, and later in June their third single, “What’s Hideous”, was released. It was accompanied with an appearance on CD:UK, and “What’s Hideous” entered the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart… In February 2015 the Do Me Bad Things Facebook page became active again and the group posted “Stayed tuned (sic) for some announcements coming in the near future,” on 10th February. The band has since announced rehearsals, posted a reunion picture and has started a Twitter account, leading fans to speculate about a reunion, over nine years since they split up.”
