Mick Turner

Australian artist and musician, known as guitarist with acclaimed instrumental group Dirty Three, along with being a seminal figure in Australian 1980’s post punk being a member of Venom P Stinger, Sick Things and Fungus Brains, has also lent his unique musical prose upon recordings by Catpower, Bonnie Prince Billy and Nick Cave

Mick has been making solo instrumental records since 1997 for Chicago label Drag City.

Now touring in support of his 5th solo album “Don’t tell the driver” released on Drag City records in November 2013.

Mick’s guitar playing is like, “The way that stars are spaced out in the sky.” -Bobby Gillespie

“Mick Turner is an inimitable force, a man whose creative legacy continues to defy and mystify. His work with Dirty Three, his artwork, his collaborative projects – all have an extraordinarily strong voice emanating from within, accentuated by that stuttering, chugging, interminable guitar.” Brendan Telford, http://themusic.com.au
