Song of the Day #784: Dirty Three

Photo: Daniel Boud I learnt long ago in my working life, that the secret to happiness was to either be on holiday or planning your next holiday. It doesn’t matter where to or for how long or how long away it is, you need that light at the end of the tunnel to get you […]
Song of the day – 452: Dirty Three
For when words are pointless.
Dirty Three – Toward The Low Sun (Drag City)
If you want to be immortal, have them play Dirty Three at your funeral.
Ensemble Pearl – Ensemble Pearl (Drag City)
Imagine a German Dirty Three. Of if you’re feeling cynical, imagine a 10-year-old boy pretending to be a monster, stomping all over Tokyo in a nuclear-induced haze.
Kurt Vile & The Violators + Mess Esque @ Princess Theatre, Brisbane, 03.04.2023

By Tom McCall It’s a sold out Monday night show at the Princess Theatre and it’s somehow the first time I’ve been there since it’s reopening as a live music/performing arts venue in 2021.

Xylouris White + Amaya Laucirica @ QAGOMA, 08.06.2018

We’ve come to see Xylouris White and Amaya Laucirica. The cost is $20. On entry I get a mixed, slightly strained vibe. An art gallery transforming into a classy […]
