Roots & Rise

  • Magic Dirt formed in 1991 in Geelong, Victoria, featuring Adalita Srsen (vocals/guitar) and Dean Turner (bass), alongside Daniel Herring and Adam Robertson 

  • Celebrated in alternative rock circles since their early EP Signs of Satanic Youth, they defined underground grit through the ’90s 

Enduring Presence

  • One of Australian rock’s most critically lauded bands, they endured until Turner’s passing, with Adalita remaining a potent, unfiltered presence at the front 

Onstage Magic

  • Adalita’s presence remains a high-voltage draw, her voice cutting through layered guitars with unapologetic force. Live, the chaos is structured into catharsis
