The Voodoo Trombone Quartet is the creation of Paul Thorpe. They are signed to the record label Freshly Squeezed Music.

Prior to the success of The Voodoo Trombone Quartet, Paul Thorpe was singer in Loveblobs signed to Wiiija Records and Nork Law, releasing a single on Oxford’s Shifty Disco and recording material for Eastwest Records. Following on, he produced a series of mash-ups under the guise of Braces Tower, using material from diverse sources such as Sesame Street and the Shipping Forecast. "Special Child", a bootleg mashing The Specials with Destiny's Child, appeared on the infamous Boom Selection CD and DJ Food's Raiding the 21st Century mix. Other mashes made it onto the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show Playlist and been played all over the world. Monotonik released two well-received downloadable EPs featuring original material - Psshh and Pasteism.

Voodoo Trombone Quartet’s self-titled debut album was released in June 2005 to critical acclaim. Following the release of the album, the VTQ was brought into the live arena by manifesting itself as an 8-piece band. Further VTQ material has appeared on compilations for Record Kicks (Italy), as remixes for ESL Music and on the official Arsenal album.

In 2007, the band contributed an exclusive track "VTQ from the Block", to Bearded Magazine's Beardaid.
