After a pair of shows on the East Coast at the Admore and Capitol Theatre, a slimmer four-piece Voodoo Dead flew halfway around the world for a three show run in Japan.
The members from Voodoo Dead that made the journey to Japan included Steve Kimock on guitar, George Porter, Jr. on bass and vocals, Jeff Chimenti on keyboards and vocals and John Kimock on drums. Voodoo Dead’s first stop in Japan was at the UNIT in Daikanyama, Tokyo.
Kimock, Porter Jr. and the rest of the crew jammed on The Meters and The Dead over two sets. Check out the massive 20 minute “Shakedown Street” to kick off the second set.
