Dirty Three
Curated by Tropical Fuck Storm
For the past thirty-three years, instrumental trio Dirty Three occupied a mythic place on concertgoers’ bucket lists around the world, as their live performances are renowned for both fierceness and emotional charge. Armed only with drums, guitar and violin, the band is able to construct majestic crescendos and vast sonic landscapes that exist in the realm of alternative and post rock, but belong to their own universe. That singular power comes from the fury of the power trio: from the mercurial, tumultuous interaction of Jim White (drums) and Mick Turner (guitar); and from Warren Ellis’ charismatic performances, with his violin transforming into a distorted guitar, a synth or a portal to another dimension.
This artist is part of the program curated by Tropical Fuck Storm. The post-apocalyptic acid punk disco scuzzheads have curated a sonically diverse mix featuring longtime musical inspirations, friends and collaborators; artists that they've met on the road, and acts that they've been eager to see live.
