Melbourne, Australia (1993 – present)

Violinist Warren Ellis, guitarist Mick Turner, and drummer Jim White are Dirty Three - an instrumental rock ‘n’ roll/folk trio considered one of the most prestigious Australian acts.

In their beginnings, in Melbourne, Australia, in 1993, the trio played very often and had residences at some of Melbourne’s smaller pubs. In the years that followed, they played other Australian cities, and toured relentlessly overseas. Now since the three live apart from each other in Paris, Melbourne, and New York, they only occasionally regroup to record and tour.

The trio released their debut ‘Sad & Dangerous’, and eponymous album in 1995, albums representative of a trio finding their sound, their experimentality and more raucous side of their music. The albums that followed- ‘Horse Stories’, 1997, ‘Ocean Songs’, 1998 and ‘Whatever You Love, You Are’, 2000, ‘She Has No Strings Apollo’, 2003, offered definitive moments of the trio’s career. ‘Cinder’, released in 2005, essentially continued musical traits developed in their previous albums, and although it continues in the spirit of ‘Ocean Songs’, ‘Cinder’ differs and diverges from their previous works in that it includes new instruments and, for the first time in their career, lyrics. The arrangements are generally shorter and more concise than those on their earlier albums. Perhaps most notably, instead of the usual recording live technique, they opted for the first time in their career to record in the studio individually.
