About
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
