Sydney Opera House & Glasshouse, Port Macquarie present

DIRTY THREE

The most purely-expressed live act on the planet, Dirty Three, comes to the Glasshouse this March.

"They're utterly unique and absolutely world class." Nick Cave

"When you're falling in love or falling out of love, their music is particularly appropriate. You can enjoy them at the best and worst of times." actor, Noah Taylor

"Every time I see the Dirty Three, they make me cry." Chan Marshall, Cat Power

"Like a cross between Pagannini and Jimmy Page." - Bobby Gillespie, Primal Scream

Dirty Three is Warren Ellis (Violin), Mick Turner (Guitar), and Jim White (Drums). Formed in Melbourne in 1991, this violin-led trio has earned an international fan base through years of relentless touring and spellbinding live performances.

Playing live together they are an intuitive force. Via manic verbose song introductions, Ellis summons sounds and spells from his violin, White’s dexterity is awe-inspiring, and Turner is stoic and unflappable. Together they channel their poetically profound and emotionally honest songs, rather than simply perform them.

With a new album scheduled for early 2012, this tour features new material as well as songs from many of their most loved and influential works including Ocean Songs, Cinder, Horse Stories and more.

If you’re a fan, we’ll see you there, if you’ve yet to experience this band live, expect to fall deeply in love on March 12. Don’t miss Dirty Three live at the Glasshouse, Port Macquarie!

Dirty Three comes to the Glasshouse as part of The Open House Project.
