I took the night off work years ago to see the Hoodu Gurus at Heaven in Adelaide - even though I was told I couldn't get the night off. Got found out, but no consequences. worth it! Great show. They sounded really, really good. Songs are timeless, still love them.
Great interview with a great UNDERRATED songwriter / musician! It's so good to watch an interviewer who's done the homework and asks intelligent questions.
Love this guy and his music. Dave is a pioneer and legend of the Australian music scene and the Hoodoo Gurus have helped shape this country's soundtrack. 'What's My Scene' and 'Bittersweet' & 'Miss Free love' phenomenal songs and Music Television Mainstays. Great questions by Jane too. Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview with us all!
A beautiful man who presents and represents without needing to do either. He's safe and comfortable in who he is without ever having to mention it. As a queer person, I find this especially inspiring.
Love this deep dive with Dave. Saw them at Thirsty's in Mobile Alabama on their first US Tour and that was it! Favorite band all time. So many great shows through the years. Can't wait to see them again. Thanks for sharing!
Instantly takes me back to the 80s with the whole HG vibe, with the cavalcade of songs you could really tap your feet to. Also had that really good classic guitar sound and a great live act. Must admit I have been overseas for more than 30 years, but as a kid growing up, we really were spoilt for choice with bands like the HG, the Oils, Rose Tattoo, the Johnnies, and the rest, who could turn it on live every week down the pub. Thanks Dave!!!
Start of US Mars tour, 1985, a dark club in Berkeley California, long set, encore jam with Flamin' Groovie Cyril Jordan. Total blast. Been a Gurus fan ever since.
A fascinating watch. Left with the feeling there is a LOT more to find out about Dave the man ....... particularly on a personal note. That aside, great to relive the enjoyment he has given me since seeing their first ever gigs in Melbourne in the early 80s. Thx.
A great subject to interview. There were a couple of times Dave seemed to want to be more introspective but the interview moved on....a great part of the Australian music scene.
