Hoodoo Gurus have been hanging out in Brazil for the last month because once upon a time they were big there … and still are.

Hoodoo Gurus were playing gigs to 40,000 people in Brazil in the 90s.

The most recent show in Florianopolis featured songs not played in Melbourne last September, ‘World Of Pain’, ‘Another World’, ‘In The Middle of the Land’, ‘Come On’, ‘Night Must Fall’, ‘If Only’, ‘Dressed In Black’, and ‘Castles in the Air’.

‘If Only’ was where Dave Faulkner wrote ‘If Only’ in 1995. It was released on the 1996 album ‘Blue Cave’.

Melbourne had but Florianpolis didn’t get ‘(Lets All) Turn On’, ‘Death Defying’, ‘Trying To Save My Soul’, ‘Dig It Up’, ‘Hang With The Girls’, ‘I Come From Your Future’, ‘Miss Freelove 69’, ‘Good Times’, ‘1000 Miles Away’ and ‘Be My Guru’.
