Earlier this year, Hoodoo Gurus released their long-awaited first studio album in twelve years, Chariot of the Gods (via EMI Music Australia here) which debuted at #7 on the ARIA Album Chart and #2 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart, making it the band’s highest charting studio album in over 28 years!
2022 also marks the 40th anniversary of the band’s debut single ‘Leilani’ when the band were initially called Le Hoodoo Gurus. That humble independent single on Sydney’s feisty Phantom Records brought the band to the attention of the music industry and shortly afterwards Hoodoo Gurus were offered an album contract. A re-recorded version of ‘Leilani’ was later released for the band’s 1984 debut album ‘Stoneage Romeos’ – and the rest is history!
