28May2002 - The Killing Heidi Realm: Number 5 for Heidi? <return to top>
It seems Killing Heidi are currently looking for a new member.
In order to emulate the next Killing Heidi record live in concert, the band is looking for a keyboard player whom would have to play keyboards and sing back-up vocals live. At the recent Forest Rally gig, Adam provided the back-up vocals.
The keyboardist would have to be able to tour for the rest of 2002, so it looks like a big  tour is coming up.
Also, the band is looking for a photographer, and a film-clip producer ..in time for the next two Killing Heidi singles.

18May2002 - The Killing Heidi Realm: Forest Killing <return to top>
Killing Heidi stepped out of the shadows today to perform at a concert rally aimed at saving Victoria's old-growth forests.
The concert and rally, which started from 11am, also featured the Scared Weird Little Guys, and Kutcha Edwards.
Killing Heidi performed 2 sets acoustically, with first set consisting of Live Without It, and Sweet. Between the sets there were various guest-speakers, as well as other musical act Kutcha Edwards.
Killing Heidi soon returned to the stage, and this time performed Burnt, It's Not Fair, Taxi Driver, Ba Da, War Town, Heavensent, and old-time favorite Weir. It's interesting to note, that Adam provided the back-up vocals for various songs and he sounded great, accompanying Ella extremely well.
The whole concert was being recorded for use on the next Killing Heidi single, tentivily titled 'Its Not Fair', and is scheduled for release around July. The follow up new album is expected to be released around August/September.
A special thanks once again to the members of Killing Heidi, their new tour manager Jo (Ann Gibson is no longer playing that role), Jenny, Steven, Marc, and anyone else whom I may have bumped into.

15May2002 - Beat.com.au: At the APRA Launch <return to top>
Drama at the APRA nominations launch in Sydney last week regarded Killing Heidi, who were performing and reading out the nominees list with Eric McCusker.
Heidi’s bassist (Warren Jenkins) missed his flight up from Melbourne that morning. He was bringing up Jesse Hooper’s guitar so Hooper had to get a store to deliver an axe so he could soundcheck. The bassist arrived half an hour before proceedings.
McCusker told the crowd that years back he marked Jesse Hooper’s HSC music exam - and gave him a good mark. The Hoopers also had a connection with another nominee, Graeham Goble of LRB fame who was up for Madison Avenue’s version of “Reminiscing”. In their early days, they’d done some demos at Goble’s home studio.
