Dirty Three’s Mick Turner launches King Crab Records
5 December 2001

Guitarist Mick Turner, of Melbourne, Australia musical chimeras and promiscuous collaborators Dirty Three (violinist Warren Ellis and drummer Jim White along with Turner), last month announced the launch of his new label King Crab Records with the release of a triplet of EPs. The fledgling indie will follow up soon with another triple EP release.
    Out any day now (perhaps already in an independent record store near you) will be Three Pieces For Violin by Dirty Three violinist Warren Ellis, his first solo project. Ellis’s wife recorded the set in their home.
    Also announced and out soon is Prepare To Die by Nate Denver under the banner Nate Denver’s Neck. Denver sings and plays bass in San Francisco experimental noise/jazz act Total Shutdown.
    Finally, King Crab will imminently release the Observatory EP by New York singer/songwriter Burd Early.
    If you haven’t heard Dirty Three you have still probably heard the band’s members, who have played and recorded with Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Blackeyed Susans, Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens, and Cat Power. This past May the band collaborated with Duluth, Minnesota trio Low for an EP titled In The Fishtank, out on Dutch label Konkurrent. | King Crab Records | | Dirty Three | | Total Shutdown | | Burd Early | | top of page |
