About this concert
Like Wow. For three decades the Hoodoo Gurus have consistently been one of the most inventive, lyrically smart and goddamn exciting rock’n’roll bands Australia has ever produced. Oh yeah, and they’ve done it with style, panache and a wicked sense of humour. From Stoneage Romeos and Mars Needs Guitars through to Mach Schau and Purity of Essence the Gurus have a slew of hits and tunes that have resonated with both long term fans and a new generation alike. Joining the Hoodoo Gurus in this rare, intimate rock show are Melbourne darlings Dallas Crane.Dallas Crane have become a not only a lauded constituent of the Australian rock ‘n roll scene, but a trend-proof mainstay that continues to exhilarate audiences wherever they bloody well set foot!Shoppo - you are in for one hell of a night. Like Wow indeed!

Hoodoo Gurus Biography
Hoodoo Gurus are an Australian rock band which used influences from seventies power-pop, bubblegum pop, Beatle-esque harmonies, psychedelia and grungy garage rock. They formed in Sydney in 1981. Dave Faulkner, Rod Radalj and James Baker were originally from Perth. Baker and Radalj were original members of The Scientists, Faulkner and Baker were also members of The Victims in 1977-79.
The original lineup band was notable for having three guitars and no bass player, creating a distinctive, layered sound. They were originally known as Le Hoodoo Gurus, but they soon dropped the "Le".
The fourth founding member, Kimble Rendall, left in 1982, before the release of their first single, "Leilani" and went on to become a noted music video director; he was effectively replaced by Clyde Bramley.
Radalj was not happy with this and left the band and was replaced by Brad Shepherd, (ex-Fun Things guitarist) who had been in Bramley's previous band. Radalj went on to perform with a number of other acts, including Love Rodeo.
Hoodoo Gurus officially split in 1998, but have reformed occasionally for concerts. In 2004, they released a new album, "Mach Schau" and began touring again. The song "Come Anytime" is the theme song to Australian TV show Thank God You're Here. They also performed live in the pre-match ceremony to the 2006 NRL Grand Final. The Gurus are currently touring in 2007 including several US dates.
