---------------------------------

Déjà Voodoo was formed by Gerard van Herk (guitar & singing) and his friend Tony Dewald (drums).
Combining 50’s horror imagery with rockabilly and country musical influences they created a sound
which gained them a unique standing amongst Canadian artists.

Van Herk's guitar only had the top four strings and he sang in a deep voice,
whilst Dewald's drum kit had no cymbals, which resulted in
a low-treble rock style they termed "sludgeabilly."

The turning point for Déjà Voodoo came with Gerard and Toni’s creation of Og Records in 1983.
The first record released by Og records was Deja Voodoo’s “Gumbo”.
The album sold relatively well in Montreal independent scene but failed to penetrate the mainstream market.
This would later be rectified with the release of Deja Voodoo’s third album “Cemetery” in 1984.
Cemetery was the first Deja Voodoo album to be sold in vinyl form, selling widely across Canada and even to
some small in the US and Europe. As well as launching their own careers, Gerard and Tony used Og records
as a way for like minded artists a venue to publish what was being referred to as unique “sludge-a-billy” sounds.
Og records continuously received tapes from other underground Canadian artists and routinely released compilation
CDs in the It Came from Canada series. In its seven year life span Og Records released twenty nine albums.
The last of which being a recording of Deja Voodoo’s performance in Finland.
