Dirty Three have been quiet for the past couple of years. With each member of the band living on a different continent it takes more than just a phone call to instigate a rehearsal. In February 2002 they reunited in Melbourne, Australia, to demo some ideas they had been working on individually. They wound up with 20 songs, picked their favourites of the batch and went on tour with the new material. Along the way they met Fabrice Laureau, who has recorded part of the soundtrack to the film AMELIE. He recorded the sixth proper studio album with the band in a studio near Paris. "She Has No Strings Apollo" is marked by the bands signature sounds crashing together with remarkable power, fury and beauty.
