Hoodoo Gurus have announced five massive shows this December, celebrating the 40th anniversary of their first live show back in 1981; and with their catalogue packed with decades worth of legendary tunes from the Oz Rock songbook, it’s certainly an occasion worth marking!
Joining them on the commemorative run will be none other than Portal indie icons The Dandy Warhols who have been no strangers to Aussie shores over the years and, with a catalogue of iconic hits of their own, makes for a stellar double bill.
The band announced the exciting news in a press release, saying: “We are thrilled to be going around Australia to play for our fans again,” the band said in the official press release. “Even better, we are honoured to be accompanied by our admirable friends, The Dandy Warhols from the US.”
“Between the two of us, there are gonna be plenty of opportunities for crowd singalongs, and after the turmoil of the last year and a half, that’s gonna be incredibly therapeutic for everyone. You can be certain that both of our bands will be fired up and rarin’ to go.”
And it’s bound to be a hit-heavy setlist. In 40 years, Hoodoo Gurus amassed an incredible nine ARIA Top 20 albums and 9 ARIA Top 40 singles from a string of multi-platinum albums; including iconic hits like “Bittersweet” and “What’s My Scene.”
