The Hoodoo Gurus are a rock band from Sydney, Australia. Originally called Le Hoodoo Gurus when they formed in 1981, they soon dropped the "Le" to become simply Hoodoo Gurus. Hoodoo Gurus had close connections to Kim Salmon's The Scientists, which included both Radajl and Baker. Original member Kimble Rendall (formerly of XL-Capris) left in 1982 and went on to become a noted music video director; he was replaced by Brad Shepherd.

With a repertoire of strong original compositions by Faulkner, their sound combined elements of Sixties power-pop, bubblegum pop, Beatle-esque harmonies, psychedelia and grungey garage rock, highlighted by the impressive guitar work of Shepherd. Hoodoo Gurus were their best on their string of widely acclaimed pop-rock singles including "My Girl", "Tojo", "Leilani", "Like Wow Wipeout", "Bittersweet" and "What's My Scene?" (the last named song reworked as "That's My Team", the current promotional theme for the National Rugby League. The film clip of "What's My Scene" saw band members appear in Wests and Cronulla jumpers)
