Remember Magic Dirt, the band that played Crowbar the other week? Crossed over to Triple J, came out of Victoria, all of that. This is Adalita, who fronted Magic Dirt. Connection made? Great! I'm not going to write about Adalita because I reckon a woman should do that. If you would like to describe Adalita to the readers of this guide, please send your blurb in to contact@sydneymusic.net. Thanks!

Now this is interesting - project of former Snakadaktal and Two People member, record was produced by Simon Lam (you know him from Kllo, the impossibly attractive cousins from Melbourne that knocked out some proper bangers and slow-burns over the years. "Riding on rough textures, grit and determination". I'm listening.

Remember Magic Dirt from playing Crowbar the other week? This is Adalita, who fronts the band. I reckon this blurb would be best written by a non-man. So... if you would like to describe who Adalita is, we'd love to put your blurb here! As with any other gig as well! You can write in via contact@sydneymusic.net
