Question: Which band formed first, Sydney's Hoodoo Gurus or Wire?
Context: Crank is Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus' sixth studio album, released in early March 1994.  The album was produced by Ed Stasium (Ramones, Living Colour, The Smithereens), who had mixed Hoodoo Gurus previous studio album, "Kinky" in 1991.  It was the band's first release on Zoo Records. Wire are an English rock band, formed in London in October 1976 by Colin Newman (vocals, guitar), Graham Lewis (bass, vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar) and Robert Gotobed (drums).  They were originally associated with the punk rock scene, appearing on "The Roxy London WC2" album – a key early document of the scene – and were later central to the development of post-punk. "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). Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus have released nine studio albums, thirty-six singles, two extended plays, six compilation albums and four video albums.
