The Living Proof presents: PHILLIP BOA AND THE VOODOOCLUB - play singles + songs from their catalogue

In the organizer's words:

Phillip Boa and the Voodooclub is a German avant-garde pop and independent band that is strongly influenced by the songwriter, singer, guitarist and producer Phillip Boa. The music is influenced by indie/alternative rock and avant-garde. The style of Boa's lyrics is a mixture of absurd reveries, love songs and sometimes bizarre and disturbing content, but Boa's greatest strength is perhaps that he always manages to find poetic beauty that underlines everything he writes.

Phillip Boa and the Voodooclub are one of the most renowned and acclaimed German bands, also recognized by international critics (ARD - Germany's and the world's largest public broadcaster). To date they are the German band with the most "Album & Single of the week" awards in the British music press (8 x "Single of the week" and 5 x "Album of the week" in the NME, Melody Maker and Sounds).

Phillip Boa was among the top 20 in the survey "Made in Germany- the most influential German musicians". Furthermore, Boa is considered one of Germany's most distinguished songwriters, his lyrics are often described as "full of mysterious metaphors, stories and sharp wisdom". Phillip Boa and the Voodooclub are also known for their extremely loyal fans, who admire Boa for his radical independence and often call him "The Master".

After many intense years and albums, the retrospective "Blank Expression - A History of Singles 1986-2016" was released by Capitol Records/Universal Music and reached number 8 in the German album charts. In addition to the most important singles, the collection also contained 12 new songs with the album title "Fresco - A Collection Of 12 New Songs". The band's last official album to date was 2018's "Earthly Powers" (Cargo Records), which reached number 3 in the album charts.

In 2023, the band re-released their iconic album "Boaphenia". Originally released in 1993, the album is now considered a cult classic. It was recorded in London, New York, Long Island and Malta and produced by Tony Visconti, Craig Leon, Eroc and Boa. Boa himself said that Boaphenia was inspired by his experiences in the early 90s, particularly the cultural and social changes that were taking place at the time. He also named his most important musical influences: David Bowie, Brian Wilson, Lou Reed and Can. The extensive 30th anniversary edition includes a collection of 10 brand new songs entitled "The Porcelain Files: A Collection of 10 new Songs". Released by Capitol Records /Universal Music, the album once again made it into the top 10 of the German album charts.
