The Brisbane leg of Dig it Up! The Hoodoo Gurus Invitational (also starring sixties garage-pioneers The Sonics and Japan's The 5.6.7.8's) has now officially sold out. Congratulations Brisbane, you've got good taste! There are no plans for a second show so if you made the cut the 'Good Times' are yours. If not well, airfares are cheap...
Meantime, in Melbourne, latest additions include Geelong's fabulously freaky Frowning Clouds, Melbourne psychedelic groove monsters Beaches and Sydney punk sensations Royal Headache. The Melbourne Dig it Up! Is and all day affair to be held on Anzac Day at The Palace, located on Bourke St. in the city. The bands will be split over two stages and two floors with guest DJ's also alternating and the potential for some added activity on the ground floor. Watch this space...
Sydney's eternal teenagers the Hard-Ons join the Hoodoo Gurus (performing Stoneage Romeos) and Seattle’s The Sonics at HQ in Adelaide making for a mighty trifecta of rock 'n’ garage.
If you're over in Perth and haven't yet bought your ticket then any delay will surely result in disappointment as the triple-bill of Australia's Hoodoo Gurus, L.A's bubblegum punks Redd Kross and NYC's ultimate party band The Fleshtones, will very shortly go the way of Brisbane.
