Dirty Three

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Melancholy instrumental trio Dirty Three formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1992, led by classically-trained violinist Warren Ellis, who began writing and performing music for art openings and plays and also tenured in the groups Blackeyed Susans, Paranoid and the Nursing Mothers. After enlisting Blackeyed Susans' guitarist Mick Turner and drummer Jim White -- veterans of Melbourne bands including the Sick Things, the Moodists, Fungus Brain and Venom P. Stinger -- Ellis formed the Dirty Three; at the group's debut performance, he used a ru...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT.

The Dirty Three have created their own brand of violin-infused rock and carry this torch of innovation even further with Whatever You Love, You Are. There are some characteristic Dirty Three moments on this album; the final song "Lullaby for Christie" would have fit in perfectly on their first self-titled album. The song swoons and breaks with a delicate yet powerful melody. There are some key explorations on this album that, even if they don't always succeed, depict a band that is far from comf   [ read more ]

There have been many attempts to integrate instrumentation, other than the guitar, bass, and drums format, into so-called rock music. Many bands have gone through an Eastern or psychedelic phase, adding strings, tabla, or some other seemingly eccentric instrument to their sound. For the most part, bands like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and others make these new instruments sound out of place in a rock setting. But the Dirty Three -- an aptly-named Australian drum, guitar, and violin trio -- cr   [ read more ]

This Aussie three-piece (guitar, drums, and violin) loves long and highly experimental instrumental jams...perfect for melancholy rainy days. "The music Dirty Three create, as an all-instrumental drums/guitar/violin combo, is all mood--dusky, slow-burning, melancholy. It's music for those times you find yourself awake at 4:30 in the morning, still drinking but not getting any drunker, waiting for the sun to rise since there's 'no point in going to bed now anyway.'" --Pitchfork Media

On their debut, Dirty Three seems to be working out future ideas. Most of the songs are quite lengthy, and some of the more repetitive numbers are often hurt by this ("Kim's Dirt," "Turk Reprise"). As a result of the band's experimentation, however, we see a different side of the group not witnessed on later efforts. For instance, Warren Ellis sets down his violin to play bass on "Jim's Dog," a song that seems like it would fit perfectly on a film-noir detective movie soundtrack. One of the g   [ read more ]
