KILLING HEIDI
25 Years of Reflector Australian Tour

Killing Heidi’s iconic debut album, Reflector, is turning 25, and to celebrate, the band is releasing a special anniversary edition and hitting the road on tour. A defining album of the Y2K era, Reflector captured a moment in time where explosive teen energy met the thrill of a new century.

Reflector, the fastest-selling Australian album in history at the time, is getting a special anniversary release on vinyl and CD, complete with demos and rarities. The band will also hit the road to perform the album in full, giving fans the chance to relive the band’s explosive moment of arrival.

“It’s an unlikely success story, for sure,” says Ella Hooper, looking back on the album that made her and her brother Jesse household names. “Sonically, it was so adventurous, we were so young, and it was such a wild-looking band for the time. But the songs connected because they’re authentic teen stories. I think that’s the hook that’s made it last. Our shows give people the chance to remember who they were during that time and reconnect with those feelings.”

“For a lot of people, Reflector is hardwired to some of their greatest memories—the soundtrack to leaving school, their first kiss, their first car.”

Killing Heidi was the perfect storm of ‘99/2000. A 4x platinum, #1 debut album that tore the roof off the Australian pop-rock establishment, fusing the energy of grunge to the new electronic frontier. Their space-glam fashion traded ‘90s flannel for futuristic colour, glitter and flash. They blitzed the ARIAs, dominated the Hottest 100, and won APRA Songwriters of the Year.

“The whole thing from a creative perspective was super exciting,” says Jesse Hooper. “We were absorbing other people’s expertise and thriving on being the kids in the room with all these great, talented adults. It was a pretty wild entry into the music industry.”

That energy is still alive today. After a massive reception at recent festivals, Killing Heidi are back, sharper, stronger and ready to deliver Reflector in full, start to finish - track by iconic track.. something they have never EVER done, until now. After the final notes of Black Sheep ring out, the band will return for an encore of rarities and fan favorites.

“The driving force now,” says Ella, “is to give people the best Killing Heidi show they may not have got in the early 2000s. We’re better players now; we’ve got a killer band covering all those myriad keys and vocal parts, finally. It’s insane fun.”
