Have you seen the Hoodoo Gurus new webseries Travel on Wheels yet?
The series is a tongue-in-cheek look behind the scenes of the making of the band’s new album Purity of Essence. A mockumentary with a healthy dose of comedy, it’s a little Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster and a little Spinal Tap. Although if you believe the band, it’s more like “a dysfunctional Partridge Family!”
“I’d always wanted us to do a radio serial back in the band’s early days,” explained lead singer Dave Faulkner. “I imagined we’d do an episode with a new song each week, something written especially for the show. Finally, after all this time I’ve realised my fantasy though here I get to be Fellini with this rockumentary, or whatever it is.”
There are a couple of episodes already up, but new ones will be added each week until there are six in all.
If you like the songs you hear in the webisodes, make sure you grab a copy of the Hoodoo Gurus latest album Purity of Essence when it hits stores on March 12.
