On TourLocal Acts added to DIG IT UP! Hoodoo Gurus Invitational 2013
As if the inclusion of international heavyweights Blue Oyster Cult, Flamin' Groovies, Buzzcocks, and Peter Case of The Nerves ain't enough, the Hoodoo Gurus have gone and selected a whole swag of local acts (starting with The Stems), embracing a huge range of eras and styles so long as it rocks (and rolls). From the green-fuzz of Sydney's Lime Spiders to the bump and grind of Melbourne's nefarious The Moodists via the snot and bile of Sydney punks Straight Arrows and on to Melbourne’s two-girl garage queens Super Wild Horses. It's dirty and mean and mighty unclean and it's all tailor-made for Dig it Up! Get the next dose here...
