Live reviews

Watching the Dirty three live is an experience that will rock, vibrate, and touch you to your souls. Founded in Australia, with three members, the band has a huge international calling and fanbase. Their sound is instrumental rock, and the undertones of their australian roots abound in their songs.Watching the Dirty three do a live performance reminds you that for them, it’s all about the music. No frills at these shows, just three men and their instruments. You won’t find fancy lights, smoke, or any other over the top stage props. The band members themselves are very casual , and often face each other instead of the audience. That’s how you know that they truly have love for the music, not just the fame.The audience is super loyal to the band, and seems to feel the music with their souls, and you cannot help dancing or swaying along, as the band plays fan favorites.The best part about the band is that they are all instrumental, with no singer . This allows the essence of the music,and the emotion of the sounds to shine through. They tour all over the world , and have a huge US fanbase, as well as Europe and Australia. I would recommend spending time and enjoying the melodic sounds of the Dirty Three.

A dynamic live music scene with a violinist in motion, a drummer, and a bassist performing on stage under bright lights, capturing a moment of artistic expression.

New expanses to create. New music to share. The legendary trio Dirty Three are finally home.

The trio that paints notes like stars in the sky. Back with new compositions to play and new stories to tell, Dirty Three return with their first hometown headline show in 12 years.

No one does it like Dirty Three. Ever since their first gig at an Abbotsford pub in 1992—when Warren Ellis fastened a pickup to his violin with a rubber band to give it some extra snarl—they’ve been following their own path. 

While their peers were doing grunge, they were facing each other onstage, making rock without the ego. Jazz without the histrionics. Folk without the troubadours. Improvising rumbling, wide-open instrumentals that pull you in like oil-painted landscapes.

They don’t get together very often these days. But to see them perform is to witness three men shoulder-deep in the task. And to host their hometown return at Hamer Hall after so many years is a scintillating prospect indeed. The aching splendour. The meandering beauty. The mammoth swirl. It's Dirty Three.

“ It’s impossible to find flaw with the performance, though its x factor is something collectively felt. A kind of accruing, song by fiery song, of irrefutable proof as to how truly great this band is. ”

The Dirty Three review – irrefutable proof of 'one of the world's greatest living bands'

Sydney Opera House Celebrating 25 years since their self-titled debut album by performing it in full, it’s impossible to find flaws with the show

“Unique” is a word that’s flung around a lot. Yet most acts it’s slapped on, such as the Cure, left legions of imitators in their wake. The word wore off.

Two Australian instrumental trios remain worthy of the superlative. We suspected they were pretty astonishing from the start but we were marvelling, then, from the thickets of youth. Time did the great reveal. In 2019, no one else sounds like the Necks or the Dirty Three, still.

In 2009, Brian Eno invited the Necks to play the first Vivid festival. Last year Mick Turner (guitar) and Jim White (drums) of the Dirty Three performed Moonpix with Cat Power. And this year, the original trio with Warren Ellis (violin) is celebrating 25 years since their self-titled debut record was released by playing it in full, at a show which premiered at Vivid Sydney on Sunday before it travels to Hobart in June.

It’s impossible to find flaw with the performance, though its x factor is something collectively felt. A kind of accruing, song by fiery song, of irrefutable proof as to how truly great this band is.

The Dirty Three

I’m among good company in the gushing. Before the gig, Darcy Maine’s 2006 documentary The Dirty Three was screened. It offers neither an arc nor a deep dive. No warts are shown, let alone all of them. Rather it’s a rambling 90-minute exaltation of a Melbourne band Maine describes as “an underground band who’s famous with all the underground people”.

Amid lots of distinctly 90s camcorder-style footage, Nick Cave’s interview draws the most guffaws. “I find singers in bands quite distracting,” he says. Chief fanboy Noah Taylor says: “There’s something of Melbourne about it; the Greek and Irish music in the background.”

We discover Ellis’s first instrument was an accordion fished out of a dump. A mop was used as a mic stand for their first gig at the Prince of Wales hotel and later came the incessant touring. “I said ‘what happened to my 30s?’ and Jim said ‘you went on tour’,” Turner says.

We don’t see the gig where Ellis went so hard he was pronounced dead onstage, but we do see other “very violent, very demonic” footage. Pure fandom, says Cave, prompted him to bring them on tour in 1995. “Playing with The Dirty Three was a chance to see The Dirty Three,” he says. Taylor recalls a London gig where “people started spontaneously weeping.”

Expectations are worryingly high when the film ends. Everyone’s older now, for starters. If Ellis dies again it’ll probably be for good.

And yet. Skipped? Bound? Man-frolicked? Bucking bronco-ed? Verbs that fail to depict how Ellis’s wizardly beard and wiry limbs arrive on stage to the blaring yacht rock of Boz Scaggs’s Lido Shuffle .

It’s hard to overstress what a scorcher of a start it is. It doesn’t feel like Sunday night any more. Were the room’s groupthink translated on to screens like Italian at the opera, it would read: “Damn it’s good to see them! Are they still setting up? Where are the roadies? It’s like we’re at the pub! Man, this song is good. Who is it again? Billy Joel? Elton John? Wait, is Warren windmilling already?”

Ellis explains the Scaggs. “When you go home and have kids you won’t be doing it to Indian Love Song or Everything’s Fucked , you’ll do it to Boz Scaggs,” he says. It strikes me perhaps he really has mentally zoomed back 25 years to when his fans were fertile.

Warren Ellis of the Dirty Three.

They intersperse the self-titled record with tracks from 1996’s Horse Stories, including Sue’s Last Ride, 1000 Miles and Hope. Turner and White, as always, save their expression for the music – besides, one maniac per three-piece is a good rule of thumb.

For the lovely Kim’s Dirt (“written in Kim Salmon’s kitchen”), Ellis tosses out to the crowd three whirling toys used for the wistful whistling sound at the start. This, and album highlight Last Night, are two of those tender, dimmed-down Dirty Three moments, where Turner’s lullaby-like loops are the quicksand all the emoting is sucked back into.

White’s trunk is as still as a tree but his arms move with sapling grace; the kind of not-jazz but jazz-deft drumming that leaves you stunned every time. Tambourines tumble from the kit; mallets are dropped on their furry heads and caught on the upward bounce. Yet always you remain convinced it’s for sonic virtue alone and never for showmanship.

Warren prowls, rants (“Good Morning Australia has the narrative arc of a burp”), sits legs dangling on the stage’s edge, hugs a fan before the first song’s started, demands a Sharpie to autograph a cake of Palmolive Gold soap. He lies on his back, one shiny shoe in the air. All three seem happy. There’s a group hug at some point.

Yet Ellis’s energy doesn’t wane. Approaching two hours, he appeals to the side of stage. “Is there anyone responsible here? What’s the curfew?” No reply. A song or two later Turner does a yawning gesture in Ellis’s direction, and Ellis says the next song will be the last.

No Australian women were selected to praise the Dirty Three in Maine’s doco, which was an oversight. So over to Jen Cloher, whose 2017 song Loose Magic was written about the band: “Their songs, you know, maybe saved someone’s life,” she told me that year. “They’re one of the world’s greatest living bands without a shadow of a doubt … It speaks straight to your heart.”

The Dirty Three are playing their self-titled debut record at two 16 June shows at Dark Mofo in Hobart

An earlier version of this article quoted Warren Ellis as saying “Australian morning television has the narrative arc of a birth”. In fact, he says , he specifically referenced Good Morning Australia and its “narrative arc of a burp”.

Everything Was Fucked: Warren Ellis Discusses The Dirty Three Luke Turner , March 2nd, 2012 08:33

A few years ago, The Dirty Three were in a pickle, having to ask festival crowds for song ideas. Warren Ellis tells Luke Turner how they overcame writers' block to write new album Toward The Low Sun

Green Man Festival, 2009. The end of a damp weekend in a Welsh valley, the swollen waters of the River Dee gurgling past just behind the main stage. As a fine drizzle fell (blessed respite after the deluge that had blasted the site for much of the duration), The Dirty Three took to the stage before Wilco's headlining set. It must have been a strange time for band. Busy with their various other projects - violinist Warren Ellis with the Bad Seeds, Grinderman and his film soundtracks with Nick Cave, drummer Jim White and guitarist Mick Turner with Cat Power and Will Oldham among others - The Dirty Three's last album, 2007's Cinder had felt rather conventional, and the band seemed to exist only in sporadic live appearances.

On that night, though, they won over new converts in their hundreds, even thousands, people streaming down the hillside to watch this emotional, intense, bravura performance, Warren Ellis scything away at his violin, flobbing up into the air and letting it land back down on his suit and beard.

As ever, Ellis's intersong chat was a contrast to their music ("this song is about going away on holiday, coming home and finding out that all your friends have gone and died"), heightening its strange emotional power. Yet one of Ellis' rambles seemed to suggest that The Dirty Three were in a sticky situation. He made a full confession that the trio were suffering from a severe case of writer's block, struggling to come up with new ideas. Perhaps, Ellis suggested, the audience might like to provide some?

Winter 2012, and the violinist is on the phone from his Parisian home discussing the band's new post-blockage-clearance LP Toward The Low Sun , a brilliant return to the raw, fragmented sound that characterised their early work. So Warren, did anyone from the Green Man crowd get in touch?

Warren Ellis: Nobody sent anything in, the lousy buggers. We've had to do it ourselves. We didn't have one person, though I'm not sure how you'd send an idea. We had to bite the bullet and do it on our own.

How did you kickstart things when it came to the new LP?

WE: We had got together on a few occasions and it didn't feel like it had moved together from the last album that we'd done. I guess I was wondering if we'd said about as much as we could. When that happens, you can't help but feel a bit spooked by it. But this thing that happens when the three of us get together and play live, this energy happens that's very unique to the group, and we all still really feed off it, and really want to protect it and keep it going. Getting out and playing live certainly made us want to continue, and reminded us that we needed to work at it. We eventually reconvened in Australia and did a bunch of dates in Japan for one of Barry ATP's events. We talked a lot there, and had this time to sit down and talk and were able to realise that that was the way back into it, to approach it with the element of risk that we always like to have when we play live. We went into the studio with very little, and tried to make it more challenging again, take more risks, and really open it right up.

I think what we'd been trying to push towards on the last few albums, trying to reign everything in a bit and seeing how the way we played was affected when we made the compositions shorter and more controlled, served a purpose in one sense. But it also took away something from what was instinctively really important about the group.

What was different this time, then?

WE: We went into the studio with certain ideas. I particularly wanted to free Jim up and not have him locked into playing a beat and to be able to play as abstract as he wanted. We wanted it to be more improvised again. Once we'd spoken about it it became obvious what we wanted to do.

It feels quite obvious when the opening track 'Furnace Skies' hits you that it's a different kind of record

WE: Yeah the first two tracks were the first two things that we laid down. We're not like a jazz band or a free form band that starts to play, there's a structure to our music, as basic as it may be, and we work within that. But there's also a way that we like to be able to move things around, and play with dynamics or phrasing or whatever, that's where the fun comes in playing night after night and it feels like it could fall apart at any moment. There are times where the shows seem to work really well, and times when they seem to fall flat on their faces, and that's really attractive to us, it was always important to us to have that element in there. You can whistle a tune, most nights.

Is that element of risk what gives the emotional resonance for the audience?

WE: It's only in doing these interviews that I've realised we've been around for such a long period of time, off and on the radar but we've always been around, and then realising that the distance between our albums these days warrants a fucking comeback tour. It's pathetic that it's come to that. I just pray ABBA don't reform, I hope they hold their ground because when they do we know it's all gone to... I mean I understand they need to get together and make some money, but I guess it's a thing about getting old is you realise seven years can be a comeback. Anyway, we never really went away, we were out there ploughing the same field. I guess like you say we connected with new people. It's interesting because we've never really changed what we do, we've just been out there in some way, playing. I've been out there with the other groups I'm in, and Jim as well. It feels like there's been a continuity, but the past ten years I've never been busier. It's been great. It's how you imagine it should be when you're doing something creative.

I've just never seen the point of working and working and working on something when you can just put something out and live with the mistakes, and learn from them and move on. That's what I love about what I've been able to do with the different areas that I work on, the different groups and the film work. It all informs what you do, it's not like you pick up where you were seven years ago, you hopefully constantly are informed, and are changing the way you think and approach things, no matter what it is. It's part of the continuum really.

How different is it from the early days though?

WE: When we started, having a violin but not having a singer or a bass player was enough to get you beaten up. It was fantastic, it was so wild. These days there are festival bills filled with unusual line-ups, they're par for the course. But but then it was an unusual thing to be doing on the back lots of Australia, it'd get you kicked out of town.

Do you miss that?

WE: Ah no, I think the thrill seems to be there and you still come up against it. It always surprises me, like that festival we did, when you get that really good reaction. For quite a while it was so thrilling to know what was going to happen. You still don't know, you always get people yelling out 'this is shit' and stuff. The driving thing isn't to get up people's nose, though that was a positive aspect, I must say, it was really great to feel like you were rubbing people up the wrong way. Also the great thing was that it really divided people, they really liked it or really hated you. I remember doing shows where there'd be five people in the audience, and three of them just wanted to beat you up, and the other two wanted to beat them up, or just get drunk out of their brain. The worst thing is always indifference. People saying 'it's OK' is a polite way of saying 'that's crap'. To get a reaction out of someone without saying a word to them really was fantastic.

If you take bands as being like relationships, what's it like given you've all been having sordid affairs?

WE: Everyone's always understood that it's been great to be able to go and do different things. I think if we'd just stayed as the three of us I don't think we'd have been able to stay together. Doing different stuff is like having affairs, it's great, not that I know. I know Dirty Three, when we used to do it all the time for the first few years when we'd do it for eleven months of the year and then just go totally insane. There was point in the late 90s when I realised it wasn't possible to maintain the intensity all the time, and I had to take a step back from it. It became so all-encompassing.

What do you think your work with the Bad Seeds, Grinderman or the film projects has brought to Dirty Three?

WE: Certainly I think the possibility to try different things, to take different avenues, to explore different ideas. With us early on I was so amazed that something might have happened, that we might come up with a tune, I never really tried to question too much, and then I think after doing a variety of different things you start to be able to say hang on, let's take some control of it. I found doing film work liberating. Things are taken out of your hands, and to be told that what you've done is not what's wanted, even though you might think it's really great, and then to have to go in from scratch and do something it at first seems really daunting but becomes really liberating. Directors will say 'take your favourite thing, cut it out, then start from there'. There's something liberating about flying by the seat of your pants and letting go. Early on you need to have this sense of a gang, not caring what anyone else thinks, to help you form your identity. It's so empowering. But at a certain point after a while you need to start to take other kinds of information.

Thinking of the live dynamic, people do find you very funny. It almost informs the music, you get to dance around a bit more. People call you the front man

WE: It was never really the thing, it was jsut something that happened. It actually came from two things when we started out. People would say 'what are you doing?' I'd say 'we've got this instrumental band'. We always had such a basic narrative going on. A lot of our early songs were very melancholic and they come from a very sad sort of place, and they come out of experiences that were kind of sad. It just seemed like the only hurdle for people was that there weren't lyrics, and if only people could latch onto the sentiment it mightn't be such a problem for them. it was very early on, I'm talking after a month of playing, we already had 'Everything Is Fucked', the songs had this certain thing about them, a loneliness but also something heroic. I remember one night I started talking because I'd had a really boring day, I started telling my day and everyone started pissing themselves laughing. I just kept doing it, telling people what was going on in my day, and it seemed that at that point in time people never addressed the audience, and it felt like there something really kind of happens when you do that, people realise they're involved, they're not just stood there watching something. It just went on from that to what it is now, whatever it is now. It was never an attempt to explain what was in there. The truth in there is probably what they didn't think was the truth, and the abstract was what they thought was the truth. It's like anything, the intent wasn't to say 'this is what it's about'.

What was the best moment of this whole process?

WE: I think the best moment for me is when you realise you have something. When you're in making a recording you have these moments where you feel like something has gone somewhere, or that it's developed, or that you know just by looking at each other that something new has happened. I never know, never ever know, when I go in there whether there's going to be something in there. With this, I think it was when we realised it had gone somewhere and that we had enough material that we all felt good and positive about. That was probably a relief too.

After the concern that you might not have anything else to say?

WE: We never rehearse together, we rehearsed twice I think in the first few years, and that was the first day we got together we rehearsed in my kitchen and played that night, making the songs really long because we had to play for three hours or something. That was the way we operated. And then we played every week, in this bar. It was meant to be background music, the guy didn't want to play CDs, he wanted to do something a bit different. We'd sit in this bar, with no PA. It'd be this bar full of your mates, everybody off their brains, once a week, and no-one had to clear up the mess at the end of it. There was this space, the possibility to do whatever you wanted on your instrument, nobody was going to say 'hey look, the chorus is coming, now shut up'. Singers would come up to us, particularly and say 'wow it's amazing how much space you all take up, and you just don't get this'. We never really had any discussions apart from once, I suppose it's in my nature to be the oracle of doom, I probably asked the others at our second show, 'how long do you think we'll go for?' And they go 'well, probably until we haven't got anything else to say'. That's always been the way we've operated, none of us would continue if we didn't feel like we had something to say, as corny as that might sound. Hopefully you can always find a new way in, it's just not always apparent.

Are you still the Oracle of Doom in the Dirty Three?

WE: Probably not. I was one of those kids who when it was the start of school holidays I'd imagine it was the end. I've got myself out of that these days, but I do recall pre-empting the future on a lot of occasions as a kid and a teenager.

So what next? Would your soundtrack work ever be a Dirty Three thing too?

WE: As a group we can't function within certain kind of parameters, and I think if we did it'd take away what's interesting about the group. If we did it'd have to be a specific thing and the person would have to really want that thing that we do. A whole score? I don't know if we've matured enough for that. There's something unmanageable about us, there's something that's quite unwieldy about the way that we operate and the music that comes out. If you like that sort of thing it's great, if you don't then it's just unbearable. That's just how it's always been.

Program Revealed For Melbourne’s RISING 2024: Dirty Three, ONEFOUR, Yasiin Bey + More

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

RISING is set to return to Melbourne in June 2024, featuring several exclusive performances and festivals as well as some key debut Melbourne performances. Heading up this year’s music line-up are Dirty Three , who will play two nights at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall which will mark their first hometown shows in 14 years.

Sydney drill outfit ONEFOUR are also set to perform at historic Melbourne venue the Forum Theatre, marking their first time ever playing in the city after multiple attempts were shut down by police task forces. Other acts performing in Melbourne for the first time include Sky Ferreira , Fever Ray , Snoh Aalegra and Tirzah . The full music line-up for the RISING program can be found below.

Hannah Fox and Gideon Obarzanek, RISING’s artistic directors, have described RISING 2024 as “a festival that belongs to Naarm” in a press statement. “Some of the most exciting voices in art, music and performance offer moments of catharsis and reflection with mass music making in a church or summoning the cosmos in our town square,” they said.

“The most important part is coming together to be thrilled, bemused, shaken or delighted.”

ONEFOUR – ‘Spot the Difference’

RISING 2024 will also see the return of Hear My Eyes , an experimental film screening with a live score performed by a group of musicians. For this year’s instalment, Hieroglyphic Being will perform an original score for the 1987 horror classic Hellraiser . He will be accompanied by Robin Fox, who will also be providing lighting and lasers for a unique cinematic experience. British artist Jeremy Deller will also be providing a blend of music and cinema with his project 24-Hour Rock Show , in which music documentaries will be screened non-stop for an entire day at RMIT.

RISING debuted in 2022 , following cancelled launches in 2020 and 2021 on account of the pandemic. The line-up included boygenius ‘ Lucy Dacus , BORIS , Sampa The Great and Tkay Maidza . It returned in 2023 with performances from Thundercat , Cornelius , RVG , Birdz and Weyes Blood . In a review of Weyes Blood’s performance as part of RISING 2023, Music Feeds noted that she and her band “filled the venue with spiritual lightness” during their set.

“[The] performance [was] so perfectly contained, magnificently presented and emotionally rousing,” it read. “Everyone present would’ve gladly stayed for another encore or two.”

Dirty Three Chronology I

(february 1992 - november 2012: melbourne -chicago -paris -brooklyn).

Dirty Three

Brief early history Mick Turner (born in Black Rock-Melbourne on 12 January, 1960): starts his musical career in 1979 as member of the Sick Things (1979-1982, with a slight return in 1988). Several members of the Sick Things, inluding Mick, formed the short-lived Spew Forth in 1982 before establishing Fungus Brains (1982-1989). During the same period he also joins Dave Graney's The Moodists , with which he's touring overseas for the first time (UK, Europe and US in 1983-1984). When Fungus Brains are put on hold Mick forms Venom P. Stinger (1986-1994), a band with Dugald McKenzie, Alan Secher-Jensen and drummer Jim White. Jim White (born in Clifton Hill-Melbourne on 30 December, 1962): starts his musical career as member of the Happy Orphans in 1980, with Conway Savage [later of Bad Seeds fame]. The next band he joins are People With Chairs Up Their Noses (1981-1982). From 1982-1984 he's drumming for the Feral Dinosaurs , a band again with Conway Savage. In 1984 he's briefly in Brainshack , a band with Fungus Brains members (excluding Mick). He joins Mick Turner in Venom P. Stinger (1986-1994), a band which also briefly tours the US in 1991. In 1989 he's in the short-lived Hessian Sax , followed by King Idiot in 1990/91. In April 1992 Jim joins Kim Salmon's Trouble Makers , in June he and Warren both join David McComb's The Blackeyed Susans and Megan Bawden's short-lived Busload Of Faith , taking over drums from Tony Pola [Beasts Of Bourbon]. Late 1992 Jim joins Charlie Marshall's Body Electric , again with Warren. Warren Ellis (born in Ballarat on 14 February, 1965): starts his musical career in a school band called Paranoid . They only rehearsed, did one live show (1985-1986), and never recorded. Then he sang with a band in Melbourne called Well which played for six or nine months. In 1986 he's also briefly in These Future Kings . On January 1st, 1988 Warren leaves Australia for London (to meet a girl who did not show up), then travelling for 9-10 months in Scotland, Ireland and Hungary. Together with other musicians he's busking in the streets and bars, traveling from town to town. It is during this period that he learns to play the violin properly and to appreciate the impact of folk music songs on people. After returning to Melbourne he's working as a kitchenhand and cleaner, followed by a stay in Gippsland, in country Victoria, where he teaches at Bairnsdale High School for 18 months. In 1991 he returns to Melbourne joining Busload Of Faith . By January 1992 Warren joins Charlie Marshall's Body Electric with Jim White. In April 1992 Warren joins Jim in Kim Salmon's Trouble Makers and in June 1992 David McComb's The Blackeyed Susans , again with Jim White. When Noel Fermanis, a friend, opens a bar at the Baker's Arms hotel on Victoria Street, he asks Warren for a band to play live background music. Warren asks Jim White and Jim asks Mick Turner. They rehearse/improvise some 5-6 tunes in Warren's kitchen and perform the same night in front of an audience of 3 friends or so. The next rehearsal they record and it was later (partially) released as the "Sad and Dangerous" album (1994. Poon Village/Forced Exposure-USA). Their residency at the Bakers Arms bar allows them to experiment with their intrumental music.

Bakers Arms Feb 1992

xx-Feb-92 AU Melbourne-Abbotsford,Bakers Arms Hotel

Photo: Google street view, January 2010. Note 1: First concerts at the bar of the Bakers Arms Hotel (@ 355 Victoria Street). The hotel opened in 1876, before that it was a bakery. The pub was then owned by Noel Fermanis who in later years also owned The Great Britain (in Richmond), the Builders Arms (in Fitzroy), the Montague (in South Melbourne), The Retreat Hotel (in Abbotsford), the Windsor Castle (in Windsor), Yelza (in Fitzroy), the Edinburgh Castle (in Brunswick), the Wesley Anne (in Northcote) and the Royal Oak Hotel (in Fitzroy). Note 2: "We had pretty crappy food back then [when the Bakers Arms opened in 1990]," [Noel Fermanis] says bluntly. "But people weren't going there for the food. We were surrounded by cheap restaurants and people were eating Vietnamese." From The Age, 23-Jun-04. Note 3: "We got together because it helped us pay the rent. A friend of mine bought a bar in Melbourne, and rather than playing records, he wanted to have live music. I hadn�t seen him for about eight years or something, and when I bumped into him, he said he�d bought this bar and he knew I played music, so he said �Why don�t you get a group together and come down and play?� So, I�d just met Jim and Mick about two or three months before this took place, and we met up in my kitchen, worked out half a dozen songs, and went down and played there that night. That was kind of why we started really. We weren�t actually that focused: we just went down and played, we didn�t have a concept for the group or anything. These were just the instruments we played, there was no PA � and none of us could sing, so that wiped out vocals from the start." Warren Ellis interviewed by Damien Love in 1998. Note 4: "The Dirty Three [..] played regularly at a Melbourne bar, the Bakers Arms Hotel in Abbotsford, two sets a night for sixty bucks. The venue�s space, however, was so unsuited for the threepiece band that White couldn�t even fit a bass drum near the staging area. �I was only using a hi-hat, cymbal, floor tom, snare, and one cymbal,� the drummer says. �The first couple of shows we played, Warren and Mick plugged into one amp. We could fit everything for the show in the boot�or trunk�of the car. [..] I mean, at that time I was playing with one hand what could be defined as kick patterns on the floor tom.� Jim White, in Modern Drummer, February 2013.

Note: "Seated in the second row, stage right, eyes glazed and bathed in warm analogue lights we were presented with a prowling, menacing, dangerous, sweaty beast of a man playing the violin. The Violin. Warren Ellis was animalistic in his performance and alongside Mick Turner (bass) and Jim White (drums) the trio�s wall of sound violated every cavity in my body. Everything in me and around me vibrated, radiating from Ellis� boots repeatedly hitting the wooden floorboards of the century-old stage. The 45-minute set, comprised their recently released debut album Dirty Three, was one long instrumental epic that peaked in a crescendo of chaos that was the undoing of me."

"We set up an East Coast tour to promote the album release, revolving around a long weekend. I was so convinced on their live power, that if I got them the right shows in Sydney on the way up, then a return show on the way back would go really well. They played with the Rollins Band in Canberra (equal intensity) and at the Annandale as a headline with Kim Salmon solo supporting. They continued up to Q'ld and Paul Curtis (Regurgitator manager) helped me put together their Brisbane run through a string of cafes, and even lunchtime shows. By the second show they had to turn people away. Word was really strong. Equally on their way back to Sydney, they played an afternoon public holiday show at the Sando [Sandringham Hotel]. Word had got around. It was packed to overflowing. They continued down to Melbourne and played their first headliner at the Punters Club, again with Kim supporting. It was another full house! They/I couldn't believe it. It seemed their entire destiny was sealed in that two-week period." Recollections by Tim Pittman [Feel Presents, concert promoters], Dirty Three's live agent from 1994-present.

Note: "[A] 1970�s Music Man 115 Sixty-Five amplifier [was] bought in the USA in the 90s for Dirty Three�s first USA tour. Put it on a plane to UK at the end of that tour to do several epic Dirty Three European tours then eventually it ended up a Warren Ellis� home in Paris. At one point I had to bolt the speaker back into the cabinet. It�s rusty and fucked up and definitely the best sounding amp ever, been around the block so many times and still so sweet. Have bought it out for the Mess Esque [2022] European tour." Mick Turner's recollections. " A little more provenance. Warren purchased this at the Starving Musician, on Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara, CA, March 1995. I drove, it was rainy that day, and it was really fun hanging with Warren (I had previously met Jim White and Mick Turner in 1991 [with Venom P. Stinger]). So, Warren was trying out equipment, and when testing this amp, he played a guitar through it, full blast. He was doing some outrageous metal guitar soloing, and the shop guys yelled out: �Sign him up!� Warren had a sheepish grin on his face." Recollections by Karl Ikola, who organized one of Dirty Three�s first shows in America.

"It was frustrating to see a band of the Dirty Three's caliber open at the American, because so few people appreciated them that it sort of defeated the purpose. Their sprawling music draws from jazz and is fueled by an obvious passion and depth. Led by the remarkable violin work of Warren Ellis, Dirty Three's music flew by the majority of the pop lovers in attendance, and those who did care couldn't see well enough to appreciate it. Yes, they were phenomenal, but it could have been John Coltrane up there onstage performing and this audience would have still been screaming for Beck."

"[..] we could say that this trio was perhaps not as successful at connecting with an impatient audience because they did dodge a few cups, ice cubes and what-not. One more flying bit and drummer Jim White may have surrendered to his rage, leapt over his kit and walloped a few brats." Note: Warren Ellis: "We did a tour with Beck and in September we played an old place in Tulsa, Texas (sic), owned by some playboy. His name was all over the place, all over the stage. When we played there the place went ballistic - they started throwing biscuits and coins and bits of paper at us. Then the audience started fighting, the people who liked us against the people who hated us. When we finished, some fat guy, I think he was the promoter of the place, came over to us with two blonde women. And he said: 'Well, for $20 they'll take their clothes off. And for $50 they'll do whatever you want 'em to.'"

Poster: Photo of generic tour poster. Review: Review from Zonic Magazine (translated from German) "[...] the church pews were mostly empty. The spark between stage and audience didn't jump over. [...] Dirty Three took their time. At 10 p.m. the church should have been brought back to its original purpose, but nothing came of it. The audience didn't let the Australians go without two encores. And what started as a rather stiff concert degenerated into an unchristian party." Note: At soundcheck, Warren Ellis performs "Lili Marlene" on accordeon.

Note 1: Warren Ellis: "Then, one time we were playing this small club and it was packed, so packed that the bar staff were walking across the stage with trays of drinks. A waitress walked behind me and I didn't know she was there - I put my hand right through a glass on her tray. By the end of the song, there was blood everywhere, all over the violin and all over the drum kit. That was in Ljubljana in Slovenia. I went off to hospital and they stitched me up. When it was done, I went back to the venue and the crowd had waited around, so we played the rest of the show." (from an interview printed in The Sydney Morning Herald 27-Dec-96). Note 2: Fan: "Yes, I was there at the concert where [Warren Ellis] cut his hand. It was in the middle of November [sic] 1996. Orto was completely crowded, full of people to the last corner. (By the way, this is one of the best rock clubs in Ljubljana.) People were drinking and smoking a lot. It was so crowded that the waiters had a lot of problems getting through to deliver drinks to customers. Warren was on the small stage, surrounded with people. As he does most of the time, he was facing the other two, the drummer and the guitarist, with his back to the public. The concert was at its peak and Warren was in his "moment" when he swung his right hand back and hit a glass that someone [from the bar staff] was carrying past. The glass broke and cut his hand. They brought him to the hospital immediately. We were shocked. We thought the concert had ended. But after a half-hour or so [2 hours], Warren was back with his hand in a bandage. He took the violin and resumed the concert. The crowd was yelling enthusiastically. It was crazy... incredible. He played the concert to the end and the crowd stood up to show respect. He was shining like a diamond and the shine went to the crowd. After the concert, he was sitting with a girl at a table, drinking. It was nearly early morning when I left the club with my cousin. Warren's eyes caught mine and when I passed him, he stood up, gave me a hand and kissed me. It was a friend saying goodbye to a friend. Even though we didn't know each other, we had shared a very special world of emotions, courage, sincerity, art and magic. The lovers of great music understand what I mean."

Then Nick [Cave] called me and said, 'Hey we're going to do a couple of dates in South America. Do you wanna come?' I said, 'I'm not really in showroom condition', and he said, 'Look, that's fine, just come along, have some fun.' So I went along to that." Warren Ellis [from Uncut magazine April 2015].

Ellis' hand is bleeding after a close encounter with bandmate Mick Turner's guitar. Ellis' playing was so frenzied that he lost track of where he was. And next week [14-Mar-12], the band will again put their bodies on the line. "I remember that!" Ellis says down the line from his home in Paris. "I've still got a really big scar from that." Apparently that wasn't the only damage Ellis inflicted on himself back then in New Zealand. "I decided to go swimming and surfing and ended up in an ambulance having to go to hospital because I got thrown and then ground into the bottom of the sea. They thought my neck had been broken. That was a wild show, that one." New Zealand Herald 09-Mar-12.

Apr/Aug-97 Warren Ellis: "We had a break for about five months; we went off the road in about April, after an American tour we ended up in London, stopped touring for about five months. Mick Turner released a solo album, started playing with Jim White, and they did the Tren Brothers record. I went on tour with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for three [two] months in Europe." "We had a break in April for five months until we recorded the ["Ocean Songs"] record and we all did different things. I think that was so constructive as a group, because we had reached a point at the end of our last American tour � it was like if we didn't take a break then we were gonna break. We were walking a really line line, because the performances had become really volatile and quite violent and hysterical. It really was getting quite intense." Warren Ellis interviewed for the Boston Phoenix 15-May-98.

Chicago Aug/Sep-97

Aug/Sep-97 US IL,Chicago, Electric Audio (@ 2621 West Belmont Avenue),recording sessions for the "Ocean Songs" album, lasting a week. Engineered by Steve Albini.

Electric Audio was founded in 1997 by Steve Albini [Big Black, Shellac].

Photo: Google street view 2016. Note: "We sat down in a room for ten days and wrote a record. We'd never done that before. We met up in Chicago, and we had two very loose ideas before that, something Mick and I had been working on in Australia and another thing Mick had been messing around with when we were in Israel the year before [1995]. Other than that it was pretty much written in Chicago. We'd never done that before. I [...] flew out to Chicago, and we set up in this warehouse with all these heavy metal bands bashing away. We just sat in there and played really quiet. I guess it was probably because everything was so loud in there!" Warren interviewed in October 2006 by David Armes and Billy Hell for Perfect Sound Forever .

04/05-Sep-97 IE County Cork,Skibbereen,Liss Ard estate Poetry & Music festival #1 [Nick Cave solo]

Note: Warren Ellis was to accompany Nick Cave (and Mick Harvey), but had to cancel due to a car crash on the way to Chicago airport. �I had a car smash in Chicago,� he told me on site in Skibbereen in September �98. �By rights we should have been dead because we hit the back of a car, a friend was drunk driving, and we both went into the window, smashed it with our heads, and I was concussed and didn�t know it. I had a fractured finger as well. They wouldn�t let me on the plane because they thought I was gonna drop dead � I still had blood all over my head � and I didn�t want to go to hospital �cos I couldn�t afford it. So, in the end, another airline took responsibility for me, they let me on the plane, I turned up, arrived in Nick [Cave�]s house, went into shock and was just shaking, and my girlfriend came and took me home to Paris, where I went to hospital. So, I didn�t make it." Ellis interviewed for Cursed Murphy .

Article: Scan from The Age newspaper, 24-Apr-98. "More tales of the Dirty Three's incident-packed tour. After Sunday night's sell-out show at the Governor Hindmarsh Tavern in Adelaide, a souvenir hunter grabbed Warren Ellis's favorite violin bow and high-tailed out of there. Some kids spotted the offender leaving the pub with the bow and followed him to the local McDonald's. It was all too much for the snoops when he flagrantly waved the bow in the air, and they made a rock 'n' roll arrest, grabbing a nearby police officer who escorted the culprit back to the pub to return the bow to Ellis who was winding down after the show. No charges were laid. Ellis, band and bow hit Melbourne next weekend.

Poster: Photo of poster. Review: Scan of review from The Age 28-Jan-99. Note: "Some time in '97 [05-Dec-98,ed.], S.T.M bass player Andrew Entsch overdosed and died. His best friend and D3 sound mixer Norman Fagg was so grieved over the loss that he followed Andrew to an early grave. Norman did this just 24 hrs prior to the D3's 98 [1999,ed.] BDO appearance. That [Melbourne] show - with such an outpouring of grief and emotion - has got to be the best D3 show I've seen and an absolute BDO highlight. They were everything they are. Beautiful to the point of making you cry and completely cathartic with the rage that they can summon. The audience was stunned, overwhelmed. It was a real release for all the sorrow. Warren got blind that day and we ended up taking him to the hospital after he knocked himself out falling over a fence. It was a wild day. BDO has never had them back." Recollections by Tim Pittman [Feel Presents, concert promoters], Dirty Three's live agent from 1994-present.

Early versions can be found dating back to the 1960s with the Velvet Underground.

Alternative music has helped define new styles of music including indie rock, grunge and noise pop. The music tends to vary from the mainstream as it relates to social context and its sound. The breakthrough of Nirvana in the 1990s brought alternative rock to the mainstream in music. Throughout history, alternative rock has been defined by its rejection of the commercialism of pop culture.

  • Dates & Prices

This short Moscow tour will give you a true taste of the history, culture and incomparable urban vibe that define one of the world’s largest metropolises. In just three days, this Moscow itinerary takes in all the most iconic sights of this attraction-packed destination. After two and half days getting acquainted with the city, we’ve set time aside for you to explore Moscow your way and discover your own favourite hang-outs in a city overflowing with hidden treasures

3-Day Moscow Tour Highlights:

  • Panoramic Tour of Moscow: See Moscow beyond the postcard images on a private excursion by car through the city streets including a drive along the banks of the Moskva River. Visit the famous Bolshoi Theatre, pass by Gorky Park and the Novodevichy Convent, and admire the city from on high at the Sparrow Hill observation platform.
  • Moscow Historical City Centre Guided Walking Tour : Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of one of the world’s biggest metropolises and discover local haunts on foot, including the Red Square, the Kremlin and the multi-coloured domes of St Basil’s Cathedral.
  • Armory Chamber tour: Explore the endless treasures of this unique museum, displaying the wealth accumulated by Russian rulers from the 12th century until the October Revolution of 1917. Walking through the exhibition halls is a journey through the centuries.
  • Moscow Metro Tour : Go deep underground on a subway tour of the famous Moscow metro. The world’s deepest metro system is renowned for its palatial, art-adorned stations, complete with marble columns and chandeliers.

On your first day, you’ll be treated to a panoramic, drive-by tour of Moscow to get a feel for the immense scale of one of the world’s most rapidly developing urban centres. The city’s history unfolds in real-time as you pass lavish imperial mansions, solemn Soviet structures and luxurious modern shopping centres.

Day two kicks off exploring Moscow’s historic centre on foot, followed by a tour of the Kremlin, the seat of Russian power and political intrigue for centuries. Stand in the Red Square, surrounded by the stunning architecture as you hear stories of the people and events behind many of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks.

On your final day, we’ll head beneath the city for a tour of the Moscow Metro and its famously ornate underground stations. Art lovers should hit up one of Moscow’s many world-class galleries such as the Tretyakov State Gallery, the Pushkin Museum or Garage, Moscow’s cutting-edge contemporary art museum. History fans can follow a Soviet trail through the city including Stalin’s Bunker, while those seeking a more indulgent experience can browse trendy neighbourhoods like Kitay Gorod or shop for everything from fashion to kitsch souvenirs at the enchanting Izmaylovo Flea Market. Foodies can head to one of the countless speciality stores sampling vodka, caviar and chocolate.

If you only have a few days to spend in Moscow, this tour will ensure you make the most of your time in the city. Let the experts navigate you through this complex and occasionally overwhelming capital, giving you plenty of time to soak up the city’s most unmissable attractions.

Russia Moscow Tour

Day 1 Panoramic city tour

Welcome to the glorious capital of Russia, Moscow! You’ll be met by your driver at the airport and taken to your centrally located hotel.

After check-in and rest, meet your private guide at the hotel lobby for a comprehensive tour of Moscow by car. Visit the starkly contrasting Theatre Square to see the stunning Bolshoi Theatre, pass Tverskaya Street, the city’s main boulevard and home to the landmark Yeleseyevskiy Grocery Store.

You’ll enjoy a panoramic drive along the Moskva River, where a huge, controversial state of Peter the Great was erected. Pass by the legendary Gorky Park and the White House before a stop at the architecturally stunning Novodevichy Convent, and the observation platform at Sparrow Hills, for a bird’s eye view over this staggering megalopolis.

Day 2 Red Square and Kremlin

After breakfast at the hotel, your guide will take you on a walking tour of the historical city centre. Stroll through the Red Square, the hub of cultural life in Moscow, with its elaborate ‘stone flower’ fountain and fantasy-like St Basil’s Cathedral – a postcard-perfect symbol of the nation. Admire the grandiose façade of GUM, the city’s most luxurious shopping centre, and visit Alexander’s Garden, with its eternal flame and the chance to watch a changing of the guards.

Break for lunch before continuing on a tour of the Kremlin and Armoury Chamber, famous of its collection of tsarist fashion, with regalia such as jewel-encrusted crowns, orbs and sceptres as well as arms and armour, exotic gifts from the leaders of faraway lands, and an illustrious case of Imperial Faberge eggs.

As an option* spend an evening on a sumptuous dinner cruise, taking in the stunning sights and city lights of this mesmerising metropolis by night.

Day 3 Metro and Arbat Street

Start a day with a tour of Metro, stopping on the way to marvel at some of the most elaborately decorated stations of the world-famous Moscow subway system. Take a stroll along Old Arbat street - the most famous street in Moscow. Through the centuries Arbat used to be one of the most bohemian places in Moscow. Today Arbat is a promenade full of small cozy cafes and street life.

The afternoon is free for you to either enjoy the rest of the day on your own or choose among optional excursions to explore more of Moscow. Visit the Tretyakov Gallery or Pushkin State Museum to admire Russian art. Join locals for a stroll at the Gorky or VDNH park.

Visit beautiful Kolomeskoye Estate or Izmailovo Kremlin, or spend a day exploring the beautiful city of the Golden Ring (Russian province) - Sergiev Posad. In the evening you will be transferred to the airport for your departure to your next destination.

Metro tour – daily

Palaces for ordinary people – that was what Stalin promised to the people when the construction of the Moscow Metro began between the World Wars. The communist dictator hadn’t promised too much.

No wonder that Moscow residents love their metro. I will guide you through the bustle of one of the busiest subways in the world and show you the most beautiful stations Moscow city has.

Tour of Communist Moscow – every day

After the Communist October Revolution in 1918, Moscow became the capital of the Soviet Empire and was the center of socialist orbit for more than 70 years. This left its mark on Moscow, even if the USSR disintegrated more than a quarter of a century ago. The city streets are full of remnants of the communist regime and the Cold War. This is a walking tour where I will show you the most exciting places in Soviet Moscow: from the notorious KGB headquarters, also known as Lubyanka to the Karl Marx Monument to small hidden remains from the time of hammer and sickle. You will also learn about Stalin’s Great Terror political campaign and the system of the GULAG and how the USSR, the communist Russian republic, became modern Russia.

This place not only has trendy cafes and green squares, but here you can see the most beautiful spray works (according to Albrecht Dürer), hangout-places of the youth and hipsters, as well as learn what Moscow looked like in the 19th century. Here you will also learn exciting and even bloody stories about famous gangsters, eccentric business people and legends like the wandering preacher Rasputin, who is known in Russia either as the “holy devil” or the mad monk. To learn a little more about Moscow’s culture, this is the tour for you. On my alternative tour, you will get to know Moscow away from the tourist hotspots. This tour is of 2 hours duration and you will experience the following on the tour:

  • St. John’s Hill, a quiet oasis right in the center, where time has stopped as it did in pre-Communist times

  • DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

  • BeverleyT 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat trip - TERRIBLE We got on the bus, but couldn’t buy a 1 day ticket. They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!! The worst thing in Moscow! Read more Written August 18, 2019
  • niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019
  • IrishCueTravel 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles SLO Motion Not all their fault , but if you plan on trying this Attraction be patient! Traffic is a big problem first and foremost. But to add additional unnecessary delays; the bus stops at each site for 15 minutes at a time or More ! I gave up half way through ( 45 minutes) ; and walked back to the starting point in 10 minutes!

  • Rebecca J 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Boat element was excellent We purchased a ticket online for the boat and bus for 2 days. The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

  • Peter F 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Two Routes There is a short red route which depending on the traffic takes about an hour. The route is generally around the Red Square area. The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time.

  • WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018
