Listen to Big John Bates & the Voodoo Dollz

BJB’s Atomic Twin melts lo-fi garage-blues with vintage melodies, obsolete electronics and atomic 60’s styles.  Big John is now wielding a Gretsch baritone while he and and drummer Tim Huston have been heisted by guitarist Christian Thorvaldson, from influential Vancouver band Slow, to start this wild and greasy ride. (Yes, the same Slow that were peers and inspirations to bands like Green River and the entire 90’s Pacific Northwest scene.)

Some old-school BJB songs have been re-imagined through the Atomic Twin lens while the band is writing new music and swaggering through some unique cover songs. Built on street cred, rat bikes and hippie muscle the band has a psychedelic vision and an industrial design. Coming soon to a stage near you ….
