Hoodoo Gurus, Voilet Femmes & Sunnyboys

From the golden age of indie-rock comes three giants of the era, HOODOO GURUSSUNNYBOYS and VIOLENT FEMMES are teaming up for the very first time this summer in a three-way, no-holds barred attack on the aural senses. 

But wait, that's not all! This all-star bill also features an equally as impressive undercard with fellow indie-giants Died Pretty dusting off the dancing shoes for the first time in more than seven years, rounding out summer’s most FUN bill.

HOODOO GURUS:
For more than three decades the Hoodoo Gurus have consistently been one of the most inventive, lyrically smart and exciting rock’n’roll bands Australia has ever produced. And they’ve done it with style, panache and a wicked sense of humour.  Consistent chart-toppers, ARIA Hall of Famers, co-curators of the Dig It Up! Invitational and other accolades far too many to mention here, the Gurus have begun a new chapter of their story with Nik Reith taking over drumming duties from 30-year veteran Mark Kingsmill.
 
VIOLENT FEMMES:
A new EP ‘Happy New Year’ announced a return to recording for Violent Femmes in April, their first new music in 15 years.  Since reuniting in 2013 Gordon Gano, bassist Brian Ritchie and drummer Brian Viglione have embarked on wide-ranging tours and buoyed by the love from fans old and new, are currently recording a new album. The trio have released eight studio albums and more than a dozen singles, among them the classics as ‘Blister In The Sun’, ‘Gone Daddy Gone’, ‘Nightmares’, and ‘American Music’.   
 
SUNNYBOYS:
On April 22nd 2012, for the first time in 21 years, all four original members of Sydney band Sunnyboys, walked on-stage at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre. Appearing at the inaugural Dig It Up! Invitational the band played with the same intensity, verve and joy as they had all those years ago. It was emotional and inspired and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Fast forward to 2015 and the band have performed two sold-out tours of the country filling venues including the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, Perth Arts Festival and set a venue record at the Coolangatta Hotel. This is the Sunnyboys - alive and well in the 21st Century.
 
DIED PRETTY: 

It's been seven years since Died Pretty last toured nationally as part of the Big Day Out, which followed hot on the heels of a triumphant tour playing the highly acclaimed 'Doughboy Hollow' album in its entirety.  ‘Doughboy Hollow’ (originally released in 1991) remains one of THE all time great Australian albums, while ‘Trace’ (1993) and ‘Sold’ (1996) consolidated their place in the history books.  The same classic line-up of Ron Peno (vocals), Brett Myers (guitar), John Hoey (keyboards), Chris Welsh (drums) and Steve Clark (bass) are keen to reunite for this tour and perform their most loved songs.
