MAGIC DIRT will be headlining the Brunswick Ballroom's third birthday weekend on Saturday 24th February with special guests Grinding Eyes and ROT TV.

Magic Dirt, the seminal female fronted alternative rock band of the 90's, formed in 1991 out of the dust and noise of the industrial town of Geelong. Before long the band were packing out pubs in Melbourne and supporting bands such as Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth. In 1994, their second EP, 'Life Was Better' debuted at number 1 on the alternative charts and stayed there for a staggering 75 weeks. In 2000 the band released 'What Are Rockstars Doing Today' which included the anthemic guitar pop smash, 'Dirty Jeans' which reached #12 on JJJ's Hottest 100. MultiARIA Award nominated album 'Tough Love’, released in 2003 saw them hit #15 on the ARIA charts. In 2006 the band forged their own label, Emergency Music which saw the release of experimental noise album 'Roky's Room', mini-album 'Beast' and the glittering 6th studio album 'Girl'. 

Over the course of 27 years the band has garnered a massive and loyal following much due to their passion for touring and working hard. Propelled by powerhouse drummer Adam Robertson, the mighty bass of Dean Turner, the super charged rock blitz of lead guitarist Raul Sanchez, and the magnetism of lead singer and songwriter, Adalita, the band's exhilarating live shows and hook laden monster tunes firmly established them as a major drawcard at festivals such as Big Day Out, Splendour In The Grass and Falls Festival. 

In 2009 the band suffered the devastating loss of founding member and bassist, Dean Turner and consequently after his passing, the band went on an indefinite hiatus. Nearly a decade later, after a chance reunion in their hometown of Geelong, the band have decided to hit the road again, in honour of their bandmate and their long and extensive legacy.
