Original Goanna member Shane Howard, Marcia Howard and Rose Bygrave will perform again as Goanna for Womadelaide in 2022.
Goanna’s short recording innings took place over two studio albums ‘Spirit of Place’ in 1982 and ‘Oceania’ in 1985. Goanna disbanded in 1987 and reformed briefly for a third album ‘Spirit Returns’ was released in 1998.
Goanna also performed for the Countdown Spectacular in 2006.
Shane Howard posted to his socials today, 40 years later, an improbable and very special opportunity, to gather again and pay homage to Spirit of Place Goanna Band
Goanna’s ‘Spirit of Place’ reached no 2 in Australia off the back of ‘Sold Rock’ (no 3, 1982) and ‘Razors Edge’ (no 36, 1983).
