HOODOO GURUS
Stoneage Romeos
1984 Canada pressing

An absolutely perfect, jangly #80s #alternative record from Down Under.

As much as I really like the other Gurus albums as well, THIS will always be their best record. It’s just so fucking FUN on every front, and it’s mixed and produced to perfection.

This Canadian press has a different running order AND (inferior) cover than the original Australian press, but who cares? All the songs are here, and they’re all AWESOME.

As near-perfect of a 37 minutes that you could ever want.

Oggi si ascoltano gli Hoodoo Gurus, band garage rock e power pop australiana, che alla notizia che una delle loro canzoni era stata usata da membri del partito neofascista asutraliano One Nation hanno reagito così:

«We were disgusted to hear that one of our songs was played by a bunch of wannabe fascists yesterday (One Nation). Like most Australians, we have always been appalled by Pauline Hanson and the toxic nonsense she spouts. This is our message to her and her followers: don’t play our music, don’t listen to our band, do not pass go! We want nothing to do with you. In fact, we wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire».

«we wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire»

“The #HoodooGurus' 1987 hit What's My Scene? was used to play Senator Pauline Hanson on to the stage during an anti-immigration March for #Australia rally in Brisbane on #AustraliaDay.

Faulkner said when he and the other band members found out they were immediately horrified and quickly crafted a statement condemning the use of the song which they posted to social media:

We were disgusted to hear that one of our songs was played by a bunch of wannabe #fascists yesterday (One Nation). Like most Australians, we have always been appalled by Pauline Hanson and the toxic nonsense she spouts. This is our message to her and her followers: don't play our music, don't listen to our band, do not pass go! We want nothing to do with you. In fact, we wouldn't p*** on you if you were on fire.

Faulkner told Mark Gibson on #ABCRadio #Perth he had personally written the statement as "a gut reaction to the unpleasant news".”
