Hoodoo Gurus back in the US after 13 years
Veteran Australian pop-punk rockers the Hoodoo Gurus have a North American tour planned for next month--their first shows in the US since 1994.
The band, which had several hits on the US college charts in the mid to late '80s, will start with three March 16 performances at South by Southwest in Austin. From there, the group will hit New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Colorado, California and Toronto, Ontario, through March 31. Dates are listed below.
As part of their recent label deal with Virtual Records, the Gurus have reissued their debut recording, 1984's "Stoneage Romeos," and put out a two-disc DVD collection titled "Tunnel Vision."
The "Stoneage Romeos" reissue includes bonus tracks "Leilani Pt 2," "Be My Guru" and "Hoodoo You Love," along with a fold-out poster. A couple of songs from the record are streaming at the band's MySpace page.
The "Tunnel Vision" DVD features all of Hoodoo Gurus' 30 videos, plus live performances filmed in venues around the world and a full-length documentary with band interviews and special guests including Red Kross and The Bangles, according to a press release.
The deal with Virtual, which gives the band its own Hoodoo Gurus Records label, also provides for the digital release of tracks from the Gurus' catalog that have not previously been available in North America, according to the band's website.
The Hoodoo Gurus' last studio album, "Mach Schau," was released in 2004. The band expects to release a new set this spring.
