About
Wall of Voodoo was an American rock band from Los Angeles, California who were active from 1977 until disbanding in 1989. Though largely an underground act for the majority of its existence, the band came to prominence when its 1982 single "Mexican Radio" became popular on MTV and alternative radio. The band was known for surrealist lyrics drawing on iconography of the American Southwest.
