U.S. TOUR ANNOUNCED FOR OCT./NOV., 2020

We are finally coming back to tour the U.S. at the end of next year. About time, I hear you say. The whole tour is being presented by Little Steven’s Underground Garage, the hippest radio station in the world. Amongst many others, the Underground Garage features Count Zaremba’s Crypt, a spooktacular show presented by The Fleshtones’ own, Peter Zaremba, from midnight (ET) every Saturday.

I know many people are going to be disappointed that their city (or country) will miss out on a Gurus gig this time – and that includes some of our favourite places to play (hello, Atlanta and New Orleans!). We will be coming back again asap with a new album and a much more extensive tour next time. This is just the first step in a much more active touring schedule for the band over the next few years, with visits to many other cities, countries and planets being in our long term touring schedule. For reasons that are too boring to get into, we have to limit this particular U.S. tour to three weeks, and though we’ve squeezed as many gigs as we can into that time, we are barely scratching the surface. We’ll come back again soon, we promise.

Here are the dates for the end of next year, with ticket links for most venues (I’ll add the other links later):

FREE HOODOO GURUS CONCERT ON NEW YEAR’S EVE

I love this! Spend New Year’s Eve in a family-friendly, safe environment (no alcohol). There will be fireworks at 9PM for the kids and also at midnight for everyone else. We’ll be playing right up until the end of the old year and then we’ll get out of the way, cheering along with everyone else when the clock strikes 12.

Some people might be put off by the lack of alcohol but, speaking as a musician, it’ll be great to play to an audience that isn’t bleary-eyed by the time we come on stage. Just think – you can drive yourself home afterwards and wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed the next day. Now that’s a happy new year.

Best of all, it’s FREE! Thanks to the City of Rockingham for putting on this great event.
