Hoodoo Gurus Do A Day On The Green

Hoodoo Gurus seem to be popping up all over the place in the coming months but just about the best place to see them will be at A Day On The Green concert.

The Gurus will be headlining a really interesting bill of Australian artists at the Seppelt Great Western Winery, not far from Ararat in Victoria on Saturday February 13.

Evermore will join the Gurus with The Whitlams’ lead singer Tim Freedman, and indigenous singer/songwriter Dan Sultan to open the show.

Hoodoo Gurus have been  pumping out their high octane brand of garage pop/rock for more than twenty years, with hits like What’s My Scene, Bittersweet, Come Any Time, One Thousand Miles Away, My Girl and Like Wow – Wipeout.

The band were a popular inductee into the ARIA hall of fame in 2007 and in their testimonial were described as “one of the most inventive, lyrically smart and exciting rock ‘n’ roll bands Australia has ever produced…”

The band recently signed a major deal with Sony Music which will see them release their first studio album since 2004 early 2010.

Kiwi brothers Jon, Peter and Dan Hume – better known as Evermore – have sold in excess of 250,000 albums, been nominated for six ARIA Awards and have topped charts with each of their three albums. Following 2004’s debut Dreams and 2006’s Real Life, they unleashed the epic new tunes on Truth Of The World: Welcome To The Show in March and shortly after won the highly sort-after support act slot on Pink’s massive Australian tour.

When he is not out front of the multi award-winning Whitlams, Tim Freedman is very often performing solo accompanied by piano. Tim’s songs like No Aphrodisiac, Fall For You and Blow Up The Pokies resonate beautifully in solo mode.

Dan Sultan is an interesting addition to the bill. His sound can best be described as roots music, equal parts blues, soul and country, and in the past two years he’s performed at nearly every major festival in Australia. His debut album 2006’s Homemade Biscuits displayed his ability to tell evocative stories through his songs and the follow-up album is due in November.

Playing times are:
4.15pm Dan Sultan
5.30pm Tim Freedman
6.45pm Evermore
8.00pm Hoodoo Gurus
