Dirty Three @ The Palace
0 Comments. 1,012 Views. Posted 3 Apr 2012 @ 3:03pm.
  Dirty Three are one of the few bands who stand apart in music today, their sound so intrinsically their own that almost no other Australian act comes close to touching them. Having just released their first album in some seven years, the monumental Towards The Low Sun, this is their first headline show in Melbourne for some time and it appears as if most of the population are here tonight...

Warren Ellis is a man with a lot to say, and barely enough time to say it. Our conversation has started out discussing the new Dirty Three album, Toward The Low Sun, before migrating across to the merits of the French public school system and segueing into the younger generation’s reluctance to wait in a world where everything is immediate. The conference centre operator has just cut into our... Read More
Dirty Three : Toward The Low Sun

  The very notion of there being a ‘definitive’ Dirty Three album is incongruous. Since the band’s formation in the early 1990s, through to its subsequent evolution into a world-renowned act of unimpeachable quality, the Dirty Three has spat in the face of simplistic categorisation, stared down patronising rhetoric and sniggered openly at futile efforts to contrive a poly-dimensional...

Dirty Three : Rising Below

The first single from Dirty Three’s forthcoming 2012 LP is a shivering, pitching tune, full of carefully misplaced guitar notes and drum rolls, like a song written and recorded in rough weather at sea. The energy is chaotic but controlled, building and breaking at different points before the final, inevitable cacophony. Lovely and interesting, as usual. Read More
The Television Sky : We Trust That The Moon Shall Guide Us

A sucker for plaintive, slow-burning 'kiss-me-I'm-dying' instrumental outfits is what I am, so, Melbourne trio The Television Sky find their recent six-tracker in good hands. Treading the line between suitably messy and heartbreakingly exultant, We Trust That The Moon Shall Guide Us is a success just as far as respectful arrangement and loping crescendos-as-foreplay are concerned. I... Read More

60 Seconds With... Charge Group

So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band? Charge Group is the band. I’m the singer/guitarist guy.     What do you reckon people will say you sound like? A guy in Europe wrote, “A transcendental bastard blend of Fugazi, the Dirty Three and Nick Drake.” Simultaneously confusing and flattering, but not too far off the mark.     What do you love about...

How does a city pay tribute to someone like Stephen Walker? A man who has spent the last 30 years at RRR ­­­- 14 of those years as station manager - deserves to be helped out and 1200 people did just that in heading to The Forum to say 'thanks' to 'The Ghost'. Along with those punters came the artists, and what a roll call it was. Dirty Three, The Skull Cave All-Stars, Gareth... Read More
The Ghost Benefit

According to the average media and technology and futurist, broadcasting is in its death throes. With its reliance on unilateral communication, broadcasting – especially radio – is out of sync with the modern interactive media age. Paradoxically, it’s radio’s inherent intimacy that Triple R broadcaster Stephen Walker – aka The Ghost to his dedicated legion... Read More

Well how time has flown. It felt like we were just at Meredith, or was that Golden Plains?   With an outrageous lineup of bands all weekend, it would be easy to lose your head and forget your ticket and ID, but please remember it, even if you are 102.  Your ticket must be around your wrist at all times - no wristband, no entry.   We’re pretty much ready again: gumboots,...
