Biography

Sydney, Australia (1981 – 1998, 2004 – present)

Hoodoo Gurus (sometimes just shortened to ‘Gurus’) are an Australian rock band which used influences from seventies power pop, bubblegum pop, Beatle-esque harmonies, psychedelia and grungy garage rock. They formed in Sydney in 1981. Dave Faulkner, Rod Radalj and James Baker were originally from Perth. Baker and Radalj were original members of The Scientists, Faulkner and Baker were also members of The Victims in 1977-79.

The original lineup band was notable for having three guitars and no bass player, creating a distinctive, layered sound. They were originally known as Le Hoodoo Gurus, but they soon dropped the “Le”.
