Hoodoo Gurus

Double bill:
Hoodoo Gurus (NSW)
Children Collide (Vic)
Hoodoo Gurus:
Like wow. For two and a half 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. Along the way they’ve influenced an entire generation of bands which kinda explains why the likes of You Am I, The Living End, Dallas Crane, Grinspoon and many others queued up a few years back to pay tribute to the band’s 1984 debut album, Stoneage Romeos.
From the get go the Hoodoo Gurus created a distinctive distillation of music that was in their respective record collections, creating a fascinating synthesis of The Cramps, T. Rex, Little Richard, The Ramones, Suicide, Gene Vincent, The Flamin’ Goovies, Nancy Sinatra, Gary Glitter, Bobby Gentry, The Sonics and a thousand others. They spelt it out in “(Let’s All) Turn On”, the opening track from Stoneage Romeos.

Illapu (Chile)
Illapu (prounounced “eeyapu”) are a Chilean folk and Andean musical ensemble formed in 1971, in Antofagasta, in northern Chile, by the brothers José Miguel, Jaime, Andrés and Roberto Márquez Bugueno.
Illapu comes from the Quechua word meaning “Lightning Bolt”. In 1981, they were forced into exile – going first to France and later Mexico City. In 1988, due to the improved political climate, they returned to their homeland, Chile. Their 1993 album, En Estos Días, which contained the hit single, “Lejos del Amor”, won 7 platinum records.
This coming October long weekend, Australian audiences will have the chance to experience internationally acclaimed Illapu live in concert.

The Drones (Vic)
Havilah Australian Tour
“The Drones were their usual cathartic, thunder and lightning best. The new songs from their album out next month sounded strong, while they still manage to find new light within their older songs. ‘They're a pretty intense little band,’ remarked a punter standing next to me. That was the understatement of the day so far.”
– Richard Kingsmill, Triple J
After a blistering performance at Splendour In The Grass, The Drones jumped a jet plane relocating to the USA for two months. A tour with the likes of Built To Spill and The Meat Puppets and a special trip east side to hit the stage at the infamous All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in New York … what a perfect way to warm up for the release of their highly anticipated fourth studio album, Havilah, due in store September 20th 2008.
