“One of Australia’s greatest singles bands.” Andrew Stafford in The Guardian (Sat 18 May, 2024).

Hoodoo Gurus first performed on Friday 4 September 1981 at the Institute Of Technology in Sydney, and were regular visitors to New Zealand throughout the 1980s – cementing a strong fanbase on this side of the Tasman.

Says frontman Dave Faulkner: “We’ve often been described as a "singles band” so for this Rewind tour we’re gonna embrace that notion by only playing songs that were released as singles. No b-sides, no album tracks, we’ll just be concentrating on the hits - and quite a few misses as well!"

"It’s funny but some of our biggest flops went on to become some of our most beloved songs. “Axegrinder” horrified radio programmers back in the day - “We can’t play that!” seemed to be their collective response - but within 12 months “Axegrinder” had become a fan-favourite, which it remains to this day. There are a whole lot of other near-misses that fall into that category. Along with all our bona fide hits, we’re hoping to play every one of our 42 singles at least once somewhere during this tour.”
