The Voodoo Queens were a North London-based girl group, who reached number one in the Indie Charts in 1993.
They were composed of Anjali Bhatia (guitar, vocals), Ella Drauglis (guitar, backing vocals), Stefania Lucchesini (drums), Rajni Bhatia (keyboards) and Anjula Bhasker (bass).[1] Rebecca Lunn later stepped in for Anjula who had to leave to visit family in India.[2]
In late 1992 Anjali left the group Mambo Taxi where she was the drummer to start the Voodoo Queens. After only one concert, they were offered a "Peel Session" by BBC DJ John Peel. This was recorded in January 1993, whilst Anjali was still working at Virgin Megastore in Oxford Street. Other radio and TV appearances followed, including a further two Peel Sessions, and a busking competition against Boyzone on Channel 4's music and arts programme Naked City. The Voodoo Queens were often mistakingly thought of as part of the Riot Grrrl movement which was developing at around the same time. The band eventually broke up in 1995.
Ella Drauglis, under the name of Ella Guru, joined the Stuckist artists in 1999. Anjali Bhatia went on to become a solo artist with more dance orientated material.
