1.20  Warren Ellis: On how Dirty Three saved him

Australian musician and film composer Warren Ellis has lived many lives, as a teacher, busker, a recovered heroin addict, alcoholic and famously a sonic experimenter in successful bands like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Grinder Man and Dirty Three.  

2024 marks thirty two years of the instrumental rock trio, Dirty Three. A band, Warren Ellis and his friends guitarist Mick Turner and  drummer Jim White formed in Melbourne in the mid 90’s.  

Here’s Maggie Tweedie speaking to Warren Ellis about Dirty Three’s expansive new record, Love Changes Everything. 

2.20 T.G Shand: Music for complex relationships 

Ōtautahi- based Annemarie Duff, previously of Melbourne shoegazer band Miniatures, has been producing music under the moniker of T. G. Shand since 2018. 

T.G Shand’s songs have been regulars on student radio charts over the last few years, and she has just released a new single ‘Scenes’.  

However, Annemarie has taken this offering a bit further. Alongside the release of the song, her studio has created data visualisations based on the weather of Banks Peninsula. Charlotte Ryan finds out more.
