The EP was originally released to coincide with Magic Dirt's October 2009 Australian tour, but has become something of a sad epitaph for this much-loved Melbourne rock band with news of the passing of bassist and co-founder Dean Turner in late August 2009.

Dean felt it was vital to include our audience as part of the whole creative process and it was important for him to give something back to the fans.

We wish to honour his hard working spirit with these shows, to unite with our audience that has so deeply shown their respect, appreciation and love for Dean and his music.

"[2] The tour coincided with the release of an EP White Boy, which includes final recording projects Turner had assembled.

The remaining five track bring together a selection of new, unreleased and rare material including duets with Gareth Liddiard of The Drones and Rowland S. Howard of The Birthday Party.
