A Little Voodoo For Your Weekend

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

From Dan Dyer to Wolfmother, VTech and Filter TV went behind the scenes of Voodoo to catch up with some of the acts that graced the Voodoo Music Experience stage.

An amazing time was had by all. So let’s take a quick trip back to our wild Halloween weekend in beautiful New Orleans as we caught up with some of our favorite musicians. From future projects, inspirations, and more, these guys had no problems letting lose. And to top it all off, they also walked away with a new VTech IS9181 WiFi Internet Radio.

Here’s a look behind the scenes with the one and only Biz Markie. Biz was in New Orleans with us, rocking the wheels of steel on stage for the VTech/Filter kickoff party at the Howlin’ Wolf for the start of the Voodoo Music Experience weekend. He played the classics, did a little beat-box, and teased us with a few lines from “Just a Friend.” And after all was said and done, Filter TV talked a bit with the Biz to find out what he’s been up to.

So here it is, check it!

The Magic Behind The Scenes at Voodoo

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

There are too many music festivals on the national circuit to count, but few had the charm and talent of this year’s Voodoo Music Experience. Acts like KISS, Eminem, Jane’s Addiction, Flaming Lips and more played to over 100,000 people over Halloween weekend in beautiful New Orleans. And not even the wet weather could keep the crowds away. 

The Big Easy was the perfect backdrop for this event and before each artist/band made their way to the stage, they found their way to our gifting area in the artist lounge and walked away with a VTech IS9181 WiFi Internet Radio and Cordless phone. Here’s a quick look at who dropped by.

The Zombies Came Out To Party at Voodoo

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

At this year’s Voodoo Music Experience, located in New Orleans, we experienced three madcap days of outdoor art and music. With dancing elves, clowns, Kiss fans and zombies gathering en masse over Halloween weekend. The weekend kicked off with an afterparty at the Howlin’ Wolf on Thursday night sponsored by VTech with performances by  DJ Soul Sister, Jay Electronica, The Knux and Biz Markie.

Here’s a behind the scenes look at The Knux. More videos soon to come.

On Friday, torrential rains drenched spectators creating a muddy bog, but spectators danced the night away to French DJ duo Justice and faced the cold and wet weather to see Eminem in his first full live performance in five years. Saturday saw a change in weather and music from local musicians Irvin Mayfield and Leon “Chocolate” Brown, while Gogol Bordello caused a frantic dance party. Halloween drew thousands of costumed spectators for Jane’s Addiction and Kiss. And a bid to break the Guinness record for largest zombie gathering (4,026) fell way short (1,701). And Sunday, the festival ended with perfect weather and performances by Widespread Panic, Lenny Kravitz, and more.

Another great year at the Voodoo Music Experience.
