The Dubrovniks were an Australian rock band which formed in August 1986 as The Adorable Ones.
 Early in 1987 they changed their name, which acknowledges two of their founders, Roddy Radalj and Boris Sujdovic, birthplace in Dubrovnik, a town in Croatia.
 Both Radalj and fellow founder James Baker had also founded Hoodoo Gurus (as Le Hoodoo Gurus) in 1981.
 All three had earlier associations in the Perth punk scene of the late 1970s.
 The group issued four albums, "Dubrovnik Blues" (August 1989), "Audio Sonic Love Affair" (September 1990), "Chrome" (June 1992), and "Medicine Wheel" (1994), before disbanding in 1995.
"Leilani" was the first single by iconic Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus when they were called Le Hoodoo Gurus and was released on Phantom Records in October 1982.
 It had been written by all four Gurus: James Baker, Dave Faulkner, Roddy Radalj and Kimble Rendall.
 Rendall left shortly before its release and, not long after, the band dropped the 'Le' to become Hoodoo Gurus.
 Le Hoodoo Gurus were noted for having three guitars and no bass player, creating a distinctive, layered sound.
 This was captured on "Leilani", which told the story of a maiden sacrificed to the gods and an erupting volcano while her true love looked on helplessly.
 The song was later released on Hoodoo Gurus' first album "Stoneage Romeos" (1984).
