Magic Dirt take - œGirl' onthe road

Fri 20th Jun, 2008 in Local News

Aussie rock royals Magic Dirt are still hard at it. To celebrate the release of new album Girl, the band has locked in a mammoth national tour that stretches right through to December!

This is Magic Dirt’s most extensive circuit of the big brown land yet, and sees them ticking off both major cities and regional towns. Girl arrives Saturday 5 July, with lead single Romy already on heavy radio rotation. Expect an album that shows off the Dirt at their scuzzy, no-frills best. Anyone who has caught the four-piece play live, either at a festival or headline show, will know the stage is their natural habitat. And they’ll certainly be seeing a lot of stages in the months to come – 35 shows are locked in, with more to come.
