Timeline
Phillip Boa (born Ernst Ulrich Figgen; 18 January 1963) is a German independent musician, songwriter, singer, guitarist and composer.
The musical style followed by Boa and his band Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub was described in a review by NME as "a cross between B52's and Captain Beefheart".
The style of his lyrics is a mix of irony, love songs, sarcasm and is often of bizarre and deranged content.
Boa has written over 400 songs, and 21 of his studio albums made it to the top 60 of the charts.

With their album Hair and the single "Container Love", they experienced a commercial breakthrough and international recognition in 1989.
Boa's music is influenced by British punk rock and new wave; its style swings between pop and avantgarde.
A continuous charasteric are the catchy and melodic choruses, interrupted or alienated by atmospheric shifts.
Thereby the voice of band member Pia Lund and Boa's own throaty singing contrast diametrically.
After his most successful album so far, Boaphenia (1993), Boa made a deliberate musical cut to focus on a Metal project when founded the heavy metal band Voodoocult, consisting of members Dave Lombardo (drums), Chuck Schuldiner (guitar), Waldemar Sorychta (guitar), Mille Petrozza (guitar) and himself as vocalist.
Moreover, since 2001, they play two or three annual Christmas concerts at the Leipzig Moritzbastei fortress.

In 2009, the Voodooclub teamed up with Can drummer the late Jaki Liebezeit, who played percussion and drums on their album Diamonds Fall.
The album Loyalty brought them a commercial comeback in Germany (No. 13 in the album charts) and some other countries.
The album was produced by David Vella and Brian Viglione, who also played drums and other instruments on the album.
Loyalty was mixed by Ian Grimble and mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios.
In 2012, British music journalist John Robb called Phillip Boa and the Voodooclub "one of the best German bands of the last three decades".
In their song "Wir sind die Besten" (We are the Best), German band Die Ärzte sing about Phillip Boa, depicting themselves and Boa as the last true musicians.
In 2014 the studio album Bleach House was released on Cargo Records, which reached place 7 in the German album charts, the best chart position in the history of the band.
