KILLING HEIDI
Forest Place, Perth
5 Dec 1999
by Trisha Farnan

It was a hot day in Perth on Sunday, 5th of December, when Killing Heidi were going to perform free in Forest Place (well, just outside of it). But I was rearing to go. That day I had another thing to do: go to the Rock It festival, which included Beaverloop, Jebediah, Killing Heidi and silverchair, who headlined. So I was pumped. I met my friend Cheryl on the train and we headed into town to see Killing Heidi live and get our cd singles signed.

When the band came out it was so exciting. They talked to this bald guy (I think he was from 96 fm or something) and Ella was so sweet, as usual. Then they kicked into their set - it was acoustic, so Adam spent the whole gig sitting at the signing table - as you can see from one of my pictures. Ella's voice was beautiful as per usual, and their renditions of songs like "Mascara", "Kettle", "Superstar" and "Weir" (it's been so long I can't remember all of them!) were stunning. Ella was really good with the crowd (also as usual), talking between songs and being generally cheerful.

Overall, despite the heat, it was such a good day. Especially when we went up to get our cds signed. Ella and the gang were all so nice, nice enough that they let us get a photo taken with them, as you can see. Afterwards we headed on to Rock It - I got a few pics of Killing Heidi there but they were no where near as good - or as close - as these. Rock It rocked (as the title would suggest) and I went home tired but content. Afterwards I was utterly convinced that Killing Heidi are not only an awesome band but very nice too.
