:: Dirty Projectors set to storm Australia in March

By: Carmine Pascuzzi

Do not miss one of 2009's most acclaimed bands in Australia this March. Dirty Projectors can officially lay claim to one of the best albums of 2009 in ‘Bitte Orca’ according to everyone from the New York Times to ourselves at Mediasearch.

Superlatives such as ‘gorgeous’, ‘stunning’, ‘hyperactive’ and ‘undeniable’ are found all over reviews for this truly original work. What crosses the mind the most when it comes to a band like this: what will they do next? With such a diverse, experimental and talented group of people, it's an exciting prospect and Dirty Projectors have exceeded all expectations with two shows in February during which the band played their Don Henley-themed modern opera album The Getty Address in its entirety with the 15-piece ensemble Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson helping out.

Dirty Projectors are playing three hotly anticipated sideshows in Australia - in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. These sideshows are selling fast so don’t miss out on your chance to experience Dirty Projectors for the first time on Australian soil. They also play Golden Plains and Lost Weekend 2010.
