Gravy Train Ep (4tracks)

2014 second EP ever to be released by the Hoodoo Gurus in the band's history. It features all eight past and present members, performing on four songs dating from the earliest days of the band's career, three of them never recorded before! Back in September 2011, the Hoodoo Gurus celebrated it's 30th anniversary. As that date was approaching Dave Faulkner came up with an unusual concert idea to mark the event. I thought about recreating the evolution of the Hoodoo Gurus live on stage, beginning with the first incarnation of the band, when we were called le Hoodoo Gurus and had no bass guitarist, then swapping members during the set just as it happened historically, with each line-up playing the songs most closely identified with it. The concert finale was envisaged to be everyone on stage jamming together, said Faulkner. When the band got together in Sydney to rehearse for 'Splendour' they recorded this GRAVY TRAIN EP at the same time. Each line-up of the band was given it's own track though the current, most long-lasting version of the band only appears as part of the all-in version of 'Leilani 2000', the Gurus' first single and still one of the band's signature songs, this time featuring all eight current and ex-Gurus. Dave continues, We had a lot of fun, the Splendour show was magnificent and I'm sure next week's Be My Guru concert will be just as good, if not 25% better - well there will be 25% more Hoodoo Gurus on stage! Most important of all, an historical wrong has been made right with these three ancient Gurus relics being immortalized on 12? vinyl and CD, along with the ultimate rendering of 'Leilani' in all it's psychedelic, tribal glory. We love it and we think you will too.
