Killing Heidi video special Killing Heidi are buzzing. Their Mascara single topped the Australian singles chart - the first time a song by an Australian band has done so since Savage Garden three years before. They almost caused a riot at Melbourne's Big Day Out when so many new young fans turned up to see them play that about 100 clung to the walls and rafters, while the 2000 denied entry hung out front. You weren't just stuffing around being lazy all those years'. Life became easier for the siblings when they moved to high school in a bigger town.
Country markets are now a distant memory for the band.
Advance orders of 35,000 for their debut album, Reflector , should propel it to the top of the album chart when it's released on Monday. It all happened so quickly, Jesse didn't even have time to find a house. Every time we get back from a tour, I just want to bum around for a few days, catch up with friends and get some sleep. I'll be sleeping on couches 'til then. So much has been made of the band's youth that Ella is recognised as underage and finds it hard to get into into clubs to see her favorite bands.
