Magic Dirt are one of the most formidable Australian rock bands, as frontwoman Adalita Srsen continues to balance that seductive line between the mercurial Courtney Love and Kim Gordon's classy brand of punk. After two years of mild hibernation and experimental soundscapes, Magic Dirt are back with the release of brand new studio album, Girl on July 5. With their signature style of sweetly blended hooks, dirty riffs, and tales of backstreet suburbia, expect a particular beast of a rock outfit at one of their mammoth 35 tour dates around our great sunburnt country.

Newest single Romy is enjoying a well-oiled run on the airwaves right now, so this tour is one not to be missed. Sample the new tracks off the record at their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/magicdirt.
