Dirty Three

I was just reading something about the Dirty Three touring in Indonesia. Authorities in Kuala Lumpur asked that they change their name to the 'Dirt Three' because they thought they were a pornographic act. Once they assured them that they were an instrumental rock group everything seemed to go OK until the fans started rioting.

I saw them several years ago at NYU when they were the backup band for Cat Power. This was back when she would have a total meltdown on stage. The Cat Power part of the show last about 10 minutes before she walked off. Fortunately they took over and played their own set.

Dirty Three - Indian Love Song

Dirty Three with Chan Marshall - Great Waves

Dirty Three - Doris
