Amid the members' many high-profile pursuits, including collaborations with Nick Cave and Cat Power, the Australian trio returns to the ecstatic and deafening music of Dirty Three.— the dirge-y and/or deafening instrumental combo the violinist had formed with guitarist Mick Turner and drummer Jim White in Melbourne — became an unlikely staple within the international rock underground.
“Yeah, I think that’s great,” comes the typically pared-down response from the band’s stubble-faced drummer, Jim White, looking on from an adjacent Zoom window and taking occasional bites off a handheld cucumber. Ellis still sounds fired up by the chemistry they discovered during their early meetings. He cites the “sheer thrill” of “taking everything to as loud as you can and dropping it down to nothing, and nobody knows what’s going to happen next. It was kind of — explorers. We were climbing Mt. Everest.”“Climbing Mt. Everest with a wheelbarrow,” the drummer offers. This time, the metaphor lands, and he, Ellis and Turner all crack up in unison.
“They did get traction fairly quickly, and I think a big part of that was people seeing them live,” he adds. “You wouldn’t have seen anybody like it.”“Mick bought a car. It was a gold — I want to say a Duster or a Galaxie 500,” Viecelli recalls. “They drove the whole tour, all over the whole country, in that. And the gear was strapped to the roof, including Jim's drums, which were then exposed to the elements the whole tour: heat, rain, all of it.
Nastanovich recounts a time when he, White and Ellis took in some local culture in Barcelona before their bands shared a bill there. “I remember, after a brief soundcheck for both Pavement and Dirty Three, Jim realized that there was live bullfighting,, across the street,” he says. “It was a very memorable day because the three of us, Jim, Warren and myself, went over for about an hour and a half and had this amazing experience — a gruesome one, to an extent — watching bullfighting.
