What is it about Western Australia? Dave Faulkner, Tim Rogers, the Farriss brothers, Kim Salmon, David McComb, etc. And that's just the old cunts.

I am so glad to discover them through a friend's recommendation, such an awesome band. Very underrated! :)

I was lucky enough to be right up front for both Dig It Up shows in Brissie in 2012 and 2013. Saw some amazing music from The 5, 6, 7, 8's, The Sonics, The Flamin' Groovies, Blue Oyster Cult and of course the mighty Gurus played killer sets featuring complete run throughs of Stone Age Romeos and Mars Needs Guitars. It's a damn shame the promoters decided the shows weren't profitable enough to annualize. In my very humble opinion, the Hoodoo Gurus are the best damn band to come outta Oz, and quite frankly, put 'em up against the rest of the world if you wish. Dave Faulkner is the ultimate song writer to me. His songs are loaded with more hooks than a crowded pirate ship and he is passionately in love with 60's girl groups and garage bands in equal measure and he ain't shy about letting his sense of humor creep into the songs, so that makes for some of the most fun music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. In short, I'm a Guru fan 'til I kick the bucket.

The Spanish "The Gurus" comment seems unnecessary and more like promotion. I would have removed it but for the reciprocation on the linked page. Any opinion on this?

saw them in the UK in 2007 and every bit as good if not better than the first few times I saw them in the 80s. "I am the captain of a ghostly crew/sailed the seven seas with nothin' to do"

I first saw these guys at the Metro in 87 or so and went to an after show release party later, they had just released Blow Your Cool, I believe. Talked with Dave Faulker and Brad Shephard about records and music, I remember trying to cadge a copy of the Victims Television Addict out of Dave. He just laughed and said those were long gone...after having sold about 12 copies! It was a great time for music. These guys were great: they made you laugh and cry with joy when they played. Saw them later in the mid-90's, not so good.

My old alt rock cover band of the 90s used to sing Miss Freelove '69 - great song!

Besides actually seeing them in 86 opening for the Bangles, best moment for me was seeing The Fleshtones play in a tiny basement bar in Troy NY, and noticing a familiar looking guy in the crowd, and my friend asked isn't that Dave Faulkner of the Hoodoo Gurus? I said no way. Halfway through the night Peter Zaremba invited his friend on stage to jam, and they played some rock and roll classics,
