So we were totally hanging out with Warren Ellis the other night. True story. Well, by "hanging out" we actually mean that we were at the same birthday party, standing across the room, admiring his epic beard. Had we felt the nerve to go up and say hello, he might have told us about how Dirty Three will boldly break cover with an extensive Australian tour in early 2012, including their own headlining shows, festival appearances and their first ever performance at the Sydney Opera House. Or he might have told us how the band will also release a new album. Instead, he probably just wondered who those weirdos were that were staring at him all night.
Dirty Three’s last tour of Australia was in 2009 when they performed their album Ocean Songs in its entirety as part of the Don’t Look Back classic albums series, a run of shows that sold-out across the country. This was a tour that confirmed Dirty Three's status of one of the greatest live acts in the world.
