One of Australia’s most influential rock bands, Magic Dirt, are thrilled to announce their upcoming tour commemorating the 25th anniversary of their acclaimed second album, Young And Full Of The Devil.
Released on Friday, April 7 via Emergency Music/Remote Control Records, the reissue of this seminal album marks a significant milestone in the band’s illustrious career.
Recorded and mixed at Birdland Studios over a twelve-day period in the spring of 1997, Young And Full Of The Devil represented a bold departure from Magic Dirt’s brooding and introspective sound found on their previous album, Friends In Danger. With an infusion of raw power, beauty, and assured chaos, the album showcased their signature guitar sounds and guttural, desperate vocals on timeless anthems such as She-Riff, Rabbit With Fangs and Babycakes.
Magic Dirt’s lineup underwent a significant change during this period with the addition of new guitarist Raul Sanchez i Jorge. His arrival injected fresh inspiration and became a driving force for the band’s newfound momentum. The success of Young And Full Of The Devil propelled Magic Dirt to greater heights, leading to notable achievements such as a UK/European tour supporting The Heads and the main support act for Silverchair‘s national Freak Show tour of Australia.
To celebrate the album’s enduring legacy, Magic Dirt will embark on a 18 date national tour, performing Young And Full Of The Devil in full, plus a selection of their most loved hits.
