Their highly regarded 1986 debut album _Free Dirt_ established them internationally and they began touring Europe and America on a regular basis. Over the following years, constant touring toughened their once erratic live performances as their constant flow of recordings expanded their musical territories. Their landmark album, 1991’s _Doughboy Hollow,_ containing the singles “Godbless”, “D.C.” and “ Sweetheart”, achieved wide Australian chart success and is still frequently found in lists of the all-time top Australian albums. Died Pretty officially disbanded as a full-time entity in 2002. Since then, the classic _Doughboy Hollow_ line-up has occasionally reformed to play special event shows. They performed _Doughboy Hollow_ for the Don’t Look Back classic album series in 2008, followed by Big Day Out performances in 2009 and then 2012’s Dig It Up festival. 2016 saw a Day On The Green run and 2017 a co-headline tour with **Radio Birdman**. In 2021 the band performed a triumphant series of club shows, rescheduled after they were forced to cancel 2019 appearances at A Day On The Green due to illness. October 2023 will see the band perform a special run of theatre only shows with special guests Melbourne’s **Underground Lovers**. ARIA Award winning Underground Lovers have been on the cutting edge of Australian independent music since 1989. With a sound built on infectious melodies, motoric rhythms and jagged guitars, their post punk aesthetic and dynamic stage performances have seen them play with the likes of **The Cure**, **New Order**, **My Bloody Valentine **and **Primal Scream**.
