If there is a more flamboyant, entertaining and energetic rock goddess than Adalita then let her be known! If Adalita is the Aussie Rock Queen then The Annandale must be her castle and the stage her throne. For a small thing, Adalita certainly packs a punch when it comes to her performance, incredible vocals and stage presence all delivered with an abundance of attitude.Magic Dirt at the Annandale were, simply awesome and that is putting it mildy. These guys are the very antithesis of a ‘Boy Band’ or sweet pop group, they are loud and raw. To be honest, it’s the first time I have seen them live but it certainly wont be the last. If you like loud and hard guitar riffs then you would have been in complete admiration and awe of the night and the moment. The band is a very tight unit, and despite Dean being replaced on the night due to sickness, they didn’t miss a beat ( or any screeching amp feedback )
From the very first song ‘Get ready To Die’ to the last guitar grinding encore of ‘We Had Love’, Magic Dirt had the sell out crowd rocking away and a steady stream of heads rocking in unison.

There were some softer songs like ‘Friends In Danger’ ( a song that they haven’t played for over 10 years ) that lulled you only to snap you back to reality when the guitars grinded in. To their credit, even though they were promoting their new album ‘Girl’, Magic Dirt varied the set list, that included songs from most of their past albums and EP’s, they even pulled out some classics from their first EP.Thanks Magic Dirt for a thoroughly entertaining and memorable night, the fact that it took me days to come down from the musical high, speaks volumes.
