xotica has come to Alternative Tentacles! Get your search engines ready, the references go deep with this one! Tsunami Bomb's Dominic Davi sits down with composer/guitarist Skip Heller (producer to/protege of Robert Drasnin, orchestrator for Elisabeth Waldo, bandleader for Yma Sumac) & vocalist Lena Marie Cardinale (an operatic Sumac acolyte and former El Vez Elvette) of Voodoo 5. 

In a genre where most bands are content to imitate old records, Voodoo 5 are making new ones – brave, bold, and unlike any exotica record you’ve ever heard. In preparation of their new 7" on Alternative Tentacles Records, "Moon Over Marin/ El Tecolote/ Fire Dance". Take a moment to step inside the world of Voodoo 5 and find out how this Exotica act came to cover Dead Kennedy's Moon Over Marin with guest vocals by the man himself, Jello Biafra!
