Killing Heidi

rock

Killing Heidi are officially forever. Twenty-five years ago, their debut 1#

multi-platinum album Reflector smashed records and high radio rotation, becoming

the fastest selling Australian album in history.

There's a whole generation that doesn't need reminding that the early '00s belonged

to Killing Heidi. Weir hit #2 and Mascara #14 in Triple J’s Hottest 100. Debut album

Reflector won four ARIA awards and sold 4 times platinum as Ella and Jesse took

out the prestigious APRA Songwriters of the Year award in 2001.

For Ella and Jesse Hooper it was something neither expected. But tour after tour, the

Violet Town siblings find their explosive power pop more entrenched in the Oz rock

pantheon.

“What Killing Heidi's music meant and still means to the people that shared that

amazing time with us really blows me away. I meet so many people, especially

young women, who tell me how Killing Heidi inspired them to be themselves, back

themselves or even start a band, and I'm completely honoured that it had that effect

on people” — Ella Hooper

“Ella’s performance is as alive as ever. Vibrant and rockin’, it was clearly evident she

was enjoying being back onstage fronting Killing Heidi, especially during the harder

hitting songs such as 'Superman/Supergirl', 'Mascara' and set-closing crowd

favourite, 'Weir' – Rolling Stone
