HOODOO GURUS
Hoodoo Gurus are an Australian rock band, formed in Sydney in 1981. Their popularity peaked in the mid to late 1980s with albums Mars Needs Guitars!, Blow Your Cool! and Magnum Cum Louder. Gurus’ biggest Australian hit single was their 1987 Top 3 hit song “What’s My Scene?” or, as modified for the National Rugby League 2000s theme, “That’s My Team”. Hoodoo Gurus’ iconic status on the Australian rock scene was acknowledged when they were inducted into the 2007 ARIA Hall of Fame. From 1960s power pop, and wild garage punk to hard driving rock and funky psychedelic kitsch, their music stood out from Sydney’s Detroit-inspired bands. (More from Wikipedia)
After the Passengers broke up, Angie Pepper and Deniz Tek quietly married and collaborated on a new band called the Angie Pepper Band. The other bandmembers were Clyde Bramley – later a member of the Sydney rock band Hoodoo Gurus – and former Saints drummer Ivor Hay.
