The tale of the Virgins starts on a stormy night and a lowly Catholic Cardinal is having a restless night as he's having a crisis of faith. Yet he is saved, he gets visited by Legbra and he enlights the Cardinal in Voodoo and tells him to set forth and put together a band to spread the word of Voodoo in Jazzy sort of way, and that the Voodoo powers will lead him down the right paths. So he does, and happily meets the first two of the souls, who have been entrusted with the mission of showing Voodoo to the world! on the plane over to America, convenient huh? And so upon landing in the Louisiana in the good old US of A, accompanied by Dr. Juju and Black Felicity, they hire a Renault Espace from the airline rental company, and set forth to make Voodoo history.

As they are driving to New Orleans, The Cardinal gets the feeling of an overwhelming Voodoo power, they come off the interstate and start to delve deep into the Louisiana Evergreens. Unfortunately they run out of petrol down some dank dirt track but they see a house in the distance. As they trek to it, they see that it is a great old Mansion, and they are met on the doorstep by a man claiming to be a grand Voodoo master known as Baron Saturday...who wishes to join the band. Along with the Baron and his servant Zombiradoo (who happened to have a Jerry can full of petrol) they get back on the road - they drive through the night and come the morning they enter a small town called Marrero, and pull up for some breakfast. The group find a likely looking bar named St Louis No.2, offering Goose Gumbo and a coke for $3.99 . What appears to be a 1950's blues throwback, a wizard and hundred year old Chinese old woman step onto the stage. However, looks can be deceiving, these guys played some good Jazz! After the show The Cardinal invites the Trio over for a drink and a business proposal, and after a few bottles of Bourbon, they had three more members.

And so, once they'd sobered up a little they head off again toward their destination. As they are driving through the evergreens (quite close to New Orleans) The Cardinal thinks they are still missing something, a bit of Razzmatazz, and disturbed by an echoing wailing coming from a passing field the pull over and jump out of the Voodoo mobile and view the landscape. They can see the outline of what appears to be some kind of creature on a pole, in position that appears that he is being used as scare crow. Never one to miss an opportunity The Cardinal thinks "F**k it, he'll do" and with a small amount of theft and petty vandalism the band has its final member, and thus the 'Virgins of Voodoo' are born, all they have to do know is learn how to play!
