Dig It Up! was a gas! Everybody said so. Curated by the one and only Hoodoo Gurus, Sydney’s Dig It Up! – which took over four venues in Enmore – proved that, if you create a one-off experience with an inspired line-up, the people will come in their droves.
And with lines around the corner on arrival (the only line I’d see all day), it was clear that the people had indeed come out to see some of the best music in the world.
The event was held in honour of the thirty-one-year recording career of Australian garage legends the Hoodoo Gurus. Dig It Up! highlights the iconic band’s finely honed musical taste and inspiration by way of multi-band / multi-venue appearances in both Sydney and Melbourne and single stage events in other capital cities.
And it was such a success that the band thought – why not do it again! And they are and this time, they and a host of other talented acts, have found their way to Twin Towns.
For the 2012 Dig It Up! Hoodoo Gurus performed Stoneage Romeos, their much loved debut album in its entirety. For the 2013 edition of Dig it Up! Hoodoo Gurus will again perform a full work, their equally impressive second album Mars Needs Guitars (a feature listing in 2010 book: 100 Best Australian albums) and home to singles Like Wow, Wipeout! Death Defying and the classic Bittersweet.
It’s another first in a series of firsts for Dig It Up! 2013 where, once again, the Hoodoo Gurus have put together an ultimate (live) mix-tape for fans of real rock ‘n’ roll. Let’s get the party started…
So who else is coming?? Well what about the Flamin’ Groovies, Blue Oyster Cult, Buzzcocks, Peter Case and The Stems? Yep let’s get this party started!!
At Twin Towns, special guests are Blue Oyster Cult. BOC may be the ultimate ‘cult’ band. Revered by punks, metal heads, sci-fi geeks and horror movie fans alike, BOC have carved out a 40-year career via a string of complex hard rock albums and killer live shows. The author Steven King adores them and so does Dave Graney. Their best known track Don’t Fear The Reaper, was a US top twenty hit in 1976 and the album it came from, Agents Of Fortune (featuring a collaboration with songstress Patti Smith) achieved platinum status, while the overall catalogue sales are in excess of 24 million. They also provided Radio Birdman with the album title Radios Appear, a lyric taken from the track Dominance and Submission. This will be the first-ever Australian tour for Blue Oyster Cult and it’s all thanks to Hoodoo Gurus.
