WEBVTT - 🎙️ EXCLUSIVE CHAT: Hoodoo Gurus

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Gold Hello there, it's Jonesy Demanda driving your home.

0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 2>We have had some incredible people come in for our

0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Friday Field sessions. We've had solo artists, we've had duos,

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>we've had a quartet member Jersey Boys. But one thing

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 2>we haven't had, and we've been quite desperate, is a band.

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>And today not just any band. We have the Hoodoo

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Gurus to tear up the studio. Dave Faulkner, Brad Shepherd,

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Rick Grossman, Hello, Hello, Hello, well steady on. Actually, have

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>you ever been the kind of band to do those things?

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>To throw TVs out of windows?

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 3>Or is all that apocryphal? I think the worst we've

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 3>got was a cheese planter. You make a mess. We

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 3>weren't happy the hotel afterwards. We make our beds in

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the hotels when we leave.

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Hospital corners and a tidy vol.

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 4>So.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>But you, I mean, obviously you've lived lives, but you've

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>never been known for being the crazy guys.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm guessing no.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, especially for me as a singer, I kind of

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 4>put myself in cotton wall a little bit. These guys

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 4>can cut them cut up if they want, but they

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 4>generally don't do that either.

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 3>So we're pretty clean living.

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>And because of your voice, I know that you know

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>you hear Mariah Carey care is sleeping with humidy, fires

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>on certain angles and things like that. Do you at

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock say sorry, I can't stay at this loud restaurant.

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 2>I have to go.

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 4>Uh. It is the fact that I've got to be honest,

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 4>you know. But I generally don't go to restaurants anyway.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't drink a glass of wine or

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 4>anything on the day of a show, and even probably

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 4>the day before a show. I'll be careful about that.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I'm a little bit of a hermit when

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 4>it comes to you have to be your instrument, my instrument.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 4>It's not the greatest instruments, so I got to take

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 4>care of what's there. But you know, it's just, you know,

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 4>I enjoy playing so much that it's not a sacrifice

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 4>to give up a little bit of a you know,

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 4>a bit of drinking and carousing in the day before,

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 4>when you're gonna have so much fun on stage next night.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, it seems more and more that that's not the

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>case anymore the old days.

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 4>Ah, Look, you know that we have our moments back

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 4>in the day, and you know, I'm sure there'll be

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 4>some moments ahead of us. But you know, when you're

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 4>working a lot, you don't want to do a bad

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 4>job for people.

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, did you have.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Any idea when you were first recording these songs how

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 2>universally iconic they'd become.

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 3>No idea, of course, you know.

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean every song was written just bere because of

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 4>something that was striking me at the time, and then

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 4>take it to the band and get in rehearsal and

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 4>see if it works for everyone else. And that's what

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 4>as as far as we ever thought, you know, we

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 4>pleased ourselves. And then the next thing, you know, people

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 4>are sort of doing what they want with them afterwards,

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 4>and you know, using them for weddings and funerals and

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 4>all sorts of things, you know, becoming quite involved in

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 4>people's real lives outside of you know, we could ever

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 4>imagine that.

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>What are some of the stories you've heard about how

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>your music has been used?

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, definitely, you know, as I say, weddings and funerals

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.399
<v Speaker 4>and sometimes the same song which is quite of amazing really.

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 4>What it was a song called Castles in the Air,

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 4>which is from the Kinky Elm, which is the one

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 4>they had one thousand. I was away on it and yeah,

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 4>that song, I actually say at a friends wedding. Jonathan

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 4>Docking used to play for the Sharks, I was that

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 4>he just missing that one. And then someone wrote to

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 4>me recently I said that they've played it at their

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 4>dad's funeral and you know he loved the HOODI Gurus

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 4>and and that song.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 3>It's all about you know.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 4>The cycle of Oh actually is more about connection that song,

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 4>So it makes it works for either sort of thing,

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, making connection or you know, losing a connection

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 4>with someone that you still are connected to.

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>But it's good that you guys have come in for

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 1>the Friday Field sessions. We've only had anything but success

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 1>so far.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 3>It will be anything about success.

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>We've had nothing, nothing can possibly go wrong. So boys,

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>what we're going to do is because we've got the

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>full compliment of guitars and bass, so this is a

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>big deal.

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 4>We unfortunately Nick couldn't make it our drummer, but you've

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 4>got the three piece versions acoustic style, so we're going

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 4>to manfully manage without the drums to cover as a

0:03:58.400 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 4>former drummer.

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Still right where you are, step up, right where you are.

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not stepping in, so we're going to come back.

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a break and then the Hoodo Gurus live

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>for the Friday Field Sessions on Gold
