Nobody waited in line to see
the Hoodoo Gurus. The
Australian band didn't even
pack the Drumstick. But they are
gaining speed.
The Hoodoo Gurus are a com
bination of old and new. Their lyr
ics are unique, transcendent of
typical boygirl relations. They rad-
Iiate energy equal to pre-com-mercialized
rock but with the
same polished talent of assembly
line rock. ,
The Hoodoo Gurus got their
start in 1 080 playing back-up to a
mainlng original members of the
band. After producing "Leilani
the band added bass guitarist,
Clyde Rramley, giving the band a
"tougher" sound, Falkner said.
Just three weeks before com
ing to America drummer Mark
Kingsmill joined the band, replac
ing James Baker. Kingsmill looks
like a long-haired lawyer when
compared to the radical look of
the other band members.
"I'm not going to change my
hair," Kingsmill said. "It's been
like this too long."
Kingsmill does his job well. "We
have a lot of fun when we play,"

"I don't think we'll ever play with
the dog again. He did a feature film
and we haven't seen him since."
singing dog on the Don Lane
Show (Australia's answer to John
ny Carson). Soon after they signed
with an independent label and
produced their first album,
Lei lan i.
After gaining considerable pop
ularity in Australia, they signed
with Big Time, a prominent Aus
tralian labeL There they recorded
Tojo a single that draws a para
llel between a cyclone that hit
Darwin, Australia in 1975 and
the Japanese attack on the same
city in 1942. Not the traditional
content that fills the grooves of a
single, but Hoodoo Gurus is not a
typical band.
Now on the A&M label with
their new album, Stoneage
Romeos, Hoodoo Gurus is on their
first American tour. Looking back
on the band's start, Dave Faulkner,
lead guitar and vocals, didn't think
they would ever get together with
the one personality that set the
band on the right track.
I dont think we'll ever play
with the dog again," Faulkner
said. "He did a feature film and
we havent seen him since."
Faulkner is one of the two re-
Kingsmill said.
As with many new bands, Hoo
doo Gurus is very hard to classify.
While they seem to have some
Elvis influence, they sound sim
ilar to the Doors. A member of the
audience said that he closed his
eyes and could '"almost" see
Morrison."
j The band uses pause sequence
and psychedelia, reminiscent of
the Doors. When Faulkner
screams, it sounds so much like
"live" Morrison that it is scary.
Kingsmill agreed there are sim
ilarities, but was hesitant to be
compared to the Doors.
"It's a great compliment," Kings
mill said.
Kingsmill said he didnt like to
be classified in any categories. He
said the band plays "just rock n'
roll."
No matter how Hoodoo Gurus
is classified they are usually com
pared to the greats. They have
been compared to everyone from
Suzi Quatro to the Ramones and
the Talking Heads by critics both
here and in Australia.
Hoodoo Gurus' new album ex
emplifies the bands diversity.
