Santeria

Psyouthern Rock from the swamps of Louisiana

About Me


1994-2004. Formed in 1994 in the swamps of Louisiana under the pretext of destroying rock and roll. When they realized it was already dead, the band focused their energies on humbler concerns like creating their own enigmatic style of southern rock. With a line-up consisting of a drummer from India, two ex-mental patients, a neurotic, and a goofball, they went on to redefine what “southern rock” could mean—less dependent on beer guzzling machismo and more focused on small, GhostTownish elements of southern living. In their 10-year existence, they released 3 albums, conducted numerous regional and national tours of the states, and abruptly vanished from the radar in 2004 amidst rumors of voodoo curses, car accidents, homelessness, and poverty. The legend of Santeria lives on.
