Fantastic! My dream day would be hanging with the Hoodoos in New Orleans. That has to be the maximum amount of fun that could possibly be had by anyone.
Have to say that going on a road trip with the Gurus to New Orleans for a week of Mardi Gras partying would be something I would love to do! Gurus a great band and Mardi Gras is an experience in its self, quite a lot of fun and its not all the BS that you see on COPS episodes where drunken frat boys try to punch police horses, rush the parade floats or start riots over beads.... Thanks for posting this video!
The Guru's became good friends with The Bangles while touring North America. I think Brad was dating one of them for awhile. Also, the backing vocals on this track should sound familiar to Bangles fans :)
Louise G I read about that; I think the Gurus cut both "Blow Your Cool" and "Magnum Cum Louder" in LA aand worked out of the same studio as the Bangles... Both groups had much success in the college radio circuit back in the mid to late '80s with the Bangles going more commercial. This was a great song and a great video.
I definitely hear similarities. Gurus are more 'pop' oriented for sure. Oils way more socially conscious and I love both. Last time I saw the Oils was Dublin in June of 2019, epic show.
