Hot off the announcement of their extremely limited, vinyl collector’s set, Hoodoo Gurus are hitting the road celebrating 40 years since they released the album Stoneage Romeos.
Originally released in March 1984, Stoneage Romeos, was the Gurus’ debut album and featured the hits Leilani, Tojo, My Girl and I Want You Back. It reached #29 on the Australian Album Chart and the album went on to win Best Debut Album at the 1984 Countdown Awards. Stoneage Romeos has consistently appeared in the Top 10 on almost every Top 50 and Top 100 Australian album lists.
The Back to the Stoneage 2024 national tour will see the band play the Stoneage Romeos album in full followed by a selection of hit songs and album tracks.
Hoodoo Gurus frontman, Dave Faulkner, said Stoneage Romeos’ was a pivotal album for the band and many of its songs have remained live favourites ever since.
“It’ll be great to play some of those “less-travelled” songs from it on this tour – even though that means we’ll be playing longer sets to fit everything else in as well,” Faulkner said, adding “Hah! To my mind that’s a win-win situation.”
The 40th Anniversary vinyl Stoneage Romeos set is released on Big Time Recordings through Universal Music Australia on Friday, 17 May 2024 and is available for pre-order from here.
