  • fond memories - down the snow under an alias (forgot), at the cross (potts point) for live ABC TV - nzoz do you have clips from that show possibly 83-84???

  • Yes, I do believe I do... I'll see what I can do about uploading it.

  • Mars needs guitars and Stoneage Romeos are icon albums

  • Hoodoo Gurus were a great melodic Australian band and among the most underrated ones! Their finest album Stoneage Romeos (1984) deserves to be heard again!
