Adalita (Magic Dirt) Solo Debut & Tour news. - Something Gratifying To .

The goddess of Australian rock is set to vent her debut album through Liberation on March 4th. Magic Dirt's Adalita has an amazing career behind her with some of Australia's best releases from the band. The final match of days have seen her work a smattering of solo gigs leading up to a National support slot with Blondie and The Pretenders in December of last year.

She released the 'Hot Air' EP on Nov 26th and had been steadily workingtoward finalising the liberation of the album. I'm certain it's been a long road after losing her long time friend and band mate Dean Turner who also worked with her on the transcription of the album. I interviewed Adalita before her Empress solo show on 31st July and asked her how she felt finshing the album "So it feels like a big weight is only about to be lifted off cause its been very hard work getting it all together. Every gradation of the way its been very difficult work but worth it." Her solo gigs have been some of the better I get always been to. The raw emotion that fills the way and completely captivates your aid is overpowering and such a joy to be a piece of. The songs are personal and Adalita puts so much more of herself out there without the lot behind her. It is something that everyone should witness. To conincide with the firing of her debut, there is likewise a chain of tour dates with special guest Amaya Laucirica, another Melbourne singer-songwriter. Amaya is Melbourne's very own Hope Sandoval and is only beautiful to hear. Grab a transcript of the EP now. It features 'Hot Air', taken from the solo album, 'Fur Seal' and 'Taxi Club', two unreleased new tracks and 'Wrapped Up', a track of an Eddy Current Suppression Ring song.
