One of Australia's finest musical exports, the elegantly ramshackle DIRTY THREE are gonna play 2 shows in Tokyo at the end of June.

UPDATE!!!! Wednesdays Shibuya O-NEST show is sold out but Thursdays show at LUSH still has tickets, you can email to reserve them at ticket2 at toos.co.jp in English. Not sure how many are left but if you get in fast you may be lucky (we were...)

The first one is at Shibuya O-Nest on Wednesday June 28th 2006. Doors open at 6.30, the fun starts at 7.30 with the Bloodthirsty Butchers. Tickets are ¥3500 / ¥4000.

They are also playing the following night at Lush (also in Shibuya). That one is with 4 bonjour's parties and Tenniscoats and is a wee bit cheaper - ¥3000 / ¥3500 with a drink. 7 pm.

If you know nothing about the genius of Warren, Mick and Jim and their extraordinary ensemble, then please check out this review of their latest album, Cinder.

The Dirty Three are one of my all time fave live bands, and I've lost count of the number of times I've seen them play - they used to play the Zoo all the time (and sometimes bring Nick Cave along to play with them). It's gonna be so cool to see them play again - it's been at least 4 years since the last time. Way too long!
