Overview
Dig It Up!, the Hoodoo Gurus' second invitational concert in as many years, is an afternoon of world firsts: the Hoodoos' first live performance of their sophomore album, Mars Needs Guitars, in its entirety; Blue Oyster Cult's first Australian tour; and the Flamin' Groovies' first live appearance (since 1981) in its original Cyril Jordan/Chris Wilson/George Alexander line-up.
The event, which includes an extravaganza at the Enmore Theatre as well as multi-stage/multi-band performances in many of Australia's capital cities, marks the 31 years that have passed since the Hoodoo Gurus recorded their debut single, 'Leilani'. According to lead singer Dave Faulkner, the main problem with programming was ensuring the gig matched up to last year's standard, that being "rock 'n' roll perfection". However, he has decided that "Dig It Up! 2013 will be the gig of the year THIS year."
Other acts on the bill include the Buzzcocks, Peter Case (and band), the Stems, the Lime Spiders, the Moodists, Deniz Tek (ex-Radio Birdman) and Ray Ahn (the Hard Ons' bassist).
