DOWN SELLINGS LANE
"In January 2023, the band released Down Sellings Lane, their second studio album. Twelve songs made the final cut and Down Sellings Lane delivers more of The Voodoo Preachers brand of brass-knuckled blues with a couple of exotic detours. Buchanan’s manifesto has always been grunt over gloss and The Voodoo Preachers are clearly along for the ride. ”

LIVE AT MOECHELLA 2021
In the brief window between Victorian Lockdown 3.0 and Victorian Lockdown 4.0, gigs were back. We came, we played, we recorded!
Moechella 2021 was a rock festival held on 22nd May 2021 at The Moe Hotel in memory of Riley “Choppy” Pearce. Riley battled his own mental health issues which tragically resulted in him ending his own life on 24th of January 2021. Choppy was a respectful and well-loved young man who was only 17 years old at his time of passing.

TESTIMONY
"After seven years and two albums with Amnesia Blues Band, Gippsland Bluesman and songwriter Paul Buchanan came to a fork in the road and took it. With no gigs on the horizon for ABB and plenty of time on his hands, Buchanan began assembling a new band, explored some new directions and, finally, named the outfit The Voodoo Preachers. ABB’s rhythm section (Darryl Kerr and Stuart Anderson) and guitarist (Ning Hopkins) transitioned to the new band, while versatile Gippslander Marc Leyshan from The Blues Lizards was recruited as a second guitarist. A seasoned front man and bandleader, Buchanan knew instinctively he had found the right combination who had the hunger and chops to shake down and knock up, in his own words, some dirty electric Blues. Say hello to Paul Buchanan’s Voodoo Preachers and their new album Testimony.”
