Melbourne, Australia (1993 – present)
Forged from a need to pay the rent in Melbourne, Australia in 1993, in their beginnings the trio often played residences at some of Melbourne’s smaller pubs. The three members are now based in different corners of the globe, and occasionally regroup to record and tour.
The trio released their raucous debut ‘Sad & Dangerous’, and eponymous album in 1995, albums representative of a trio finding their sound. The albums that followed- ‘Horse Stories’, 1997, ‘Ocean Songs’, 1998 and ‘Whatever You Love, You Are’, 2000 offered the 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.
The Dirty Three have toured with Beck, Sonic Youth, Pavement, Throwing Muses, Cat Power, Low, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Devendra Banhart, and many others.
