Music News: Dirty Projectors announce Australian tour dates!

Brooklyn, New York darlings Dirty Projectors are perhaps the only band in the world that could attract the praise of everyone from Bjork to The Roots to David Byrne. They have inspired pop star Solange Knowles to record a cover of their single "Stillness is the Move" while winning the hearts of music critics the world over. It’s on this wave of praise that Dirty Projectors head to Australia for their inaugural tour in March 2010. All show details below.

In 2002 the band's founder David Longstreth released The Graceful Fallen Mango under his own name. A year later, The Glad Fact introduced his experimental rock project as Dirty Projectors . Since then the ever-developing group has featured an evolving cast of collaborators, a multitude of sounds, a concept album about Eagles frontman Don Henley and, in 2007, an album that reinterpreted songs from Black Flag's classic hardcore album Damaged, entitled Rise Above. In the words of Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koening -- once a touring member of Dirty Projectors -- Longstreth has been “making his own fucked-up version of American music.”

Dirty Projectors much feted new studio album Bitte Orca is their most complete effort to date. Singers Amber Coffman and Angel Deradoorian take lead vocals on a pair of tracks, while bassist Nat Baldwin and vocalist Haley Dekle have been added to the fold, resulting in what sounds like Dirty Projectors' first fully collaborative record as a band.

“When all the singers blare in unison the beauty they summon is almost overwhelming.” MOJO

Bitte Orca's idiosyncratic, complex, and sincere take on popular music is reminiscent of David Byrne with whom Dirty Projectors collaborated on “Knotty Pine" for the era-defining compilation Dark Was The Night. In many ways, David Longstreth could be seen as this generation's answer to Byrne. Both are distinguished New York torchbearers who creates labyrinthine songs that go down easy. Dirty Projectors defy definition and comparison - they dazzle you with the kind of mystery and originality that will cause you to dance. Tour details below.

Tickets on sale Friday 4 December.

Tour dates are:

Tuesday 9 March 2010: The Hi Fi, Melbourne
Wednesday 10 March 2010: Metro Theatre, Sydney
Saturday 13 March 2010: The Rosemount, Perth

As a band we played the Pyramid Rock Festival at Phillip Island last year, that was a very awesome thing to be a part of. Was so hot you felt like you were going to die but was worth every second.

Ideal Lineup?
Reading Festival 92 was a pretty unbeatable lineup, not that I was actually there. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Mudhoney, Beastie Boys… Say no more!

Tips for attending Music Festivals?
Pace yourself, try not to one of those people passed out next to a porta-loo before the sun has even had a chance to go down. All the good stuff happens at night and you’re gonna want to remember most of it. Bands like us love to play festivals because the vibe can be incredible, so yeah… get on it and have a great time, just don’t make an arse of yourself.
