An
Australian rock band originally hailing from
Geelong,
Victoria, Magic Dirt spent many years on the indie label
Au-go-go before finally making their
major label debut in 2000 with
What Are Rockstars Doing Today?. Their recent releases still manage to retain their original
indie sound, despite constant lineup changes in the first couple of years. Their sound is most often compared to
Sonic Youth, while
Adalita is the kind of growling frontwoman who puts most
punk rockers to shame.
The current lineup is as follows:
Adalita: guitars & vocals
Dean Turner: bass & vocals
Raul Sanchez: guitar
Adam Robertson: drums
