25 YEARS ON // STILL DIRTYCelebrating 25 years of Dirty Jeans + more!
This Nov/Dec we’re hitting the road to mark 25 years since Dirty Jeans first made its mark. Born from a scrappy cassette demo in a Melbourne share house, it became our first charting single and a career-defining anthem—packed with handclaps, tropical guitar licks, and hooks galore!
Originally scribbled down and taped by Adalita in 1999, the song was nearly lost before being produced by Greg Wales and Dean Turner into the pop-grunge classic you know today. Released in July 2000 on our third album What Are Rock Stars Doing Today, it hit #68 on the ARIA National Charts, #11 on the ARIA Alternative Top 20, and #12 in the Triple J Hottest 100—not bad for a rough-as-guts bedroom demo.
25 years on, we’re taking it back to where it all began with a run of exclusive shows and a killer lineup of special guests. Expect the faves, a deep cut or two, and some new songs we’re itching to road-test before heading back into the studio.
It’ll be sweaty, loud, and a little nostalgic and “…that’s the way we like it!”
Hopefully see you out there,
