Dirty Three are an instrumental rock band, formed in 1993, in Melbourne, Australia. The three members are Warren Ellis (violin), Mick Turner (electric guitar), and Jim White (drums). Their music has elements of folk melody, rock energy, and 20th century classical music. Their early albums offered many aggressive, ferociously emotional songs, but since their fourth album, Ocean Songs, Dirty Three have gradually shifted their focus towards melancholy moods, escaping the song structure of most of their earlier work.

Dirty Three have released albums on Touch & Go Records and have toured with Sonic Youth, Pavement, Cat Power, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Shannon Wright.

Since 1996, Ellis has been a member of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Ellis and Turner have both released solo albums. Turner and White have released several EPs as The Tren Brothers, and appear as backing musicians on albums by Cat Power and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Turner is also an internationally exhibited painter, and runs the band's own record label Anchor & Hope. In 1999, Dirty Three joined forces with Low to record an In The Fishtank session for Konkurrent records; the result has been called "some of the best material either unit has produced."[1]
