← Le Guess Who? 2026

Dirty Three make long-form instrumental music out of violin, guitar, and drums, with Warren Ellis often sounding like he is sawing a synth line out of the air. The set will likely swing from hushed tension to full, ragged climaxes, with Mick Turner and Jim White driving the shape and Ellis carrying the melodic volatility.

More about Dirty Three

The trio formed in 1992 and have kept that line-up of Warren Ellis, Mick Turner, and Jim White. Their Bandcamp and recent release notes place them in the long-running Australian instrumental rock tradition, with a catalog built around live interplay and a lot of time spent in other people's projects.

A story

A recent Bandcamp note says four tracks on Ulterior Motives were recorded live in the band's small rehearsal space before their debut album.
