The repalcement drummer was a little to cocky for a guy who basically lifted Les’ schtick verbatim, and poorly at that. When the audience asked where Les was, the band slagged him off less than graciously. With the exception of Clay Moore Mines, the kids can’t pull it off. While they’ve had a revolving cast of extras on stage, as the average age of the band decreases, the stage presence suffers. I’ve seen about 5 or 6 Deadbolt shows, most of them in the Midwest, and all featuring Les Vegas except the last.

The crowd favorite Les Vegas is listed on the album, but was missing from a recent live show in Portland Or.

An interesting side, the semi permanant line up still includes Harley Davidson, Clay Moore Mines. Voodoo Trucker has 100% of your USRDA of sarcastic homophobia, hatred of hippies, bad jokes, and double extra lazy surf riffs.
#Deadbolt band full
It may not grab your attention, and you’ll miss out on some of the clever subtleties if you aren’t really giving it your full attention. It’s still funny, but it’s not exactly the kind of thing you can sing along to. The difference is that a lot of these songs are sort of passive listeners, with the music serving as a backdrop for misccelaneous CB chatter. Voodoo Trucker ranks among some of the better Deadbolt albums, but it’s not quite as good as a Tiki Man. “The Mocker” lurks in the obscure channels of CB radios waiting to repeat everything an unsuspecting rig wrangler like Pee Wee Herman’s older chainsmoking stepbrother. In the tradtion of “BBlah blah ” the clown, VT introduces a new reoccurring character in the Deadbolt Universe, known as the Mocker.
#Deadbolt band movie
“Whereabouts Unknown” is a perfect recreation of the late 50’s and 60’s era infotainment shorts sometimes used as trailers in movie theaters and time fillers on tv networks. And as if to prove that they are in fact the laziest band on earth, they even recycle music wholesale from an earlier release, changing the voiceover only. Billy’s Dead is reminincent of “Hank Watson Stalks the Earth”.

If you are already a Deadbolt fan, expect more of the dry, (parched) sense of humor. Voodoo Trucker can be summed up as Night of the Living Dead meets “Convoy”. The unsavory band of cuthroats have stowed away on a tramp steamer leaving the tiki-zulu death masks on the dark continent behind for the swamps and the endless highways of route 666. The latest release from the self proclaimed “Scariest band in the world.” Like some of their previous albums, Voodoo Trucker has a theme.
