About Me

Alien Voodoo is a "one man band", featuring the music of Billy Ray, an artist who has been on the fringe of the music business for several years. Billy decided to work and release music under the name Alien Voodoo for a couple reasons. First of all, his last name does not rhyme with "Virus" but having the name Billy Ray has caused enough confusion in the past. As an american expat (that's Texan, thank you) living in Germany , somehow the moniker seems rather fitting. Alien, as in outsider, strange, foreigner...Voodoo, well, each individual can make his own judgment as to how that fits in. Billy has played in the following bands: Rampage, Insomnia, Beuwolf, NoWhere Fast, Line Out, and various other projects. Billy plays high energy, soulfull, intelligent rock and roll which refuses to fit any one category. Powerful, uplifting, aggressive. Emotional, poetic, and somehow graceful. Currently, Billy is recording vocals and is planning a late summer 2008 release of the Alien Voodoo album. If you like what you hear then please add me to your friends...and pass my site along to all your music loving friends as well. Stay posted for album release updates.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/4/2007
Band Website: myspace.com/alienvoodoomusic
Band Members: Billy Ray: Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drum Programming, and Percussion.
Influences: The death of Elvis, the murder of John Lennon, having country music shoved down my throat as a kid, world religions and all the problems caused by them, being rejected by every major label in the world, playing my own music and discovering that people like it, even though the "suits" don't know how to market the music, horror movies, beautiful women, late nights in too many shithole bars, walking down ancient cobble stone streets in europe, observing the mass of humanity all around me, books, bad radio stations, good radio stations, terrorvision/television, all the great musicsians I've shared the stage with, watching the Berlin wall come tumbling down, all the places in the world I've seen,good and bad, all the people I've had the pleasure of knowing along life's journey. Most of all I've been influenced by love. Two people have always believed in me, and have always been there to pick me up when I've fallen: My dear mom, and my beautiful, lovely, georgous, sexy, fabulous wife, she is my ray of sunshine on the cloudiest of days. See "sounds like" for an idea of what this all translates to.
Sounds Like: Imagine the Beatles, Metallica, the Ramones, Motley Crue, Foo Fighters, Motorhead, The Who, Disturbed, Led Zepplin, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, Velvet Revolver and Prince all together in the studio...now imagine that there are no rules... You end up with what I like to call "Elegant Decadence", music for the soul, a soundtrack of life.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: Indie
