A Guru By Any Other Name

A 7" single that came out at the end of 2008 that I just heard about was "St. Peters Infirmary" by The Persian Rugs. The Rugs are essentially the Australian group The Hoodoo Gurus (well, 3/4s of them) under a pseudonym. Or you could call it a side project. Whatever. The sound is very similar to the Gurus stuff, only there is much more a predilection for sixties garage rock here, complete with Dave Faulkner playing Farfisa organ instead of guitar. The single's b-side is a tune called "What's a Girl Supposed to Do?" and the single was released by German label Screaming Apple Records.
