The legendary Hoodoo Gurus are, by any measure, one of Australia's best loved and most enduring rock bands of all time.
Often referred to as the Gurus by fans, the group was formed in Sydney in 1981 by the mainstay Dave Faulkner (songwriter, lead singer and guitarist) and later joined by Richard Grossman (bass), Mark Kingsmill (drums), and Brad Shepherd (guitar, vocals, harmonica). Their popularity peaked in the mid to late 1980s with albums Mars Needs Guitars!, Blow Your Cool! and Magnum Cum Louder.
Hoodoo Gurus had a string of acclaimed pop-rock singles including "Leilani" (1982), "Tojo" (1983), "My Girl" (1983), "I Want You Back" (1984), "Bittersweet", "Like Wow - Wipeout!", and "What's My Scene?". After touring the United States from 1984 onwards they gained popularity on the U.S. college rock circuit with singles "Come Anytime" (1989) reaching #1 and "Miss Freelove '69" (1991) reaching #3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The band's biggest Australian hit single was their 1987 Top 3 hit song "What's My Scene?" or, as modified for the National Rugby League 2000s theme, "That's My Team".
Hoodoo Gurus' iconic status on the Australian rock scene was acknowledged when they were inducted into the 2007 ARIA Hall of Fame. Their induction announcement stated that the Gurus were one of the most "inventive, lyrically smart and exciting" bands from Australia. From 1960s power pop, and wild garage punk to hard driving rock and funky psychedelic kitsch their music stood out from Sydney's Detroit-inspired bands.
LOVED THIS SONG FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT IN 1984. LOVE THE GURUS.
Just saw them play this last night in LA, and two days before in SF. They can still bring it. Long live the Gurus!
Greatest Australian band of all time.
I'll give you top three.... they are really great, not sure about #1.
@@argusloud3500 Fair enough. AC/DC and who else? The Saints, Radio Birdman, Birthday Party/Bad Seeds, Midnight Oil??
The Church
What a great band..
I first heard this song while watching a surf movie. The movie was Beyond Blazing Boards. It was featured in the section of the movie showing people wiping out. It was perfect. I think their song Leloni (spelling?) was used as well. Soon after, I bought the album and we wore the cassette out playing it on the way to the beach.
pure poetry
