"through the windswept coastal trees, where the dead come rising from the sea",
Front man to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, former front man of The Birthday Party, Nick Cave is indisputably one of the most talented singer/songwriters of all time. His poetic lyrics and jazz, rock, blues, early goth influenced fusion stands as some of the most important music of the last 25 years. Albums such as 'Tender Prey', 'The Boatman's Call' or 2004's double album, 'Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus' cement this musician's place within modern music. His strong partnership with Warren Ellis (a member of the Bad Seeds), has led to writing and recording of several soundtracks to popular films such as; 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert' Ford' & 'The Proposition'. Also an author, Cave has presented his quirky, dark comedy in; And The Ass Saw The Angel & the recent The Death of Bunny Munro. His talents and accomplishments have been recognised by critics and awarded by magazines such as MOJO, and of course the fans that continue to support his position upon the plinth of great songwriters. May he continue to intrigue, inspire and enlighten us.
