Dirty Three + Laughing Clowns play Don't Look Back Australia 2010

Arguably the stand-out performers at this years inaugural All Tomorrow's Parties Festival at Mt.Buller, the Dirty Three return to Australia this summer for a national tour - their first in almost four (4) years - performing their magnum-opus Ocean Songs, in its entirety. The tour will take in an appearance at Sydney's month long arts event, Sydney Festival and also the Perth International Arts Festival. In addition the Dirty Three will perform Ocean Songs at headline shows in Brisbane and Melbourne.

But that's not all... joining Dirty Three for the Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney performances will be long time Dirty Three favourites, Laughing Clowns, performing their early 'hits' package 'History of Rock n' Roll Volume One', also in its entirety. Yep, the same line-up that emerged after a 25 year hiatus to perform at this years inaugural Australian All Tomorrow's Parties Festivals - Kuepper, Wegener, Elliott, Miller and Spence - will join forces once more time to put new life into old classics such as Holy Joe, Sometimes (I Just Can't Live with Anyone) and Everything That Flies.
