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 mash-ups made it onto the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show Playlist and been played all over the world. Internet label Monotonik released two well-received 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.
