This October, two bands come to Australian shores: Nick Cave Solo and Grinderman. This is an opportunity, a chance you may never have again to see Nick Cave and his cohorts Warren Ellis (violin/mandolin/bouzouki), Martyn Casey (bass) and Jim Sclavunos (drums) through two completely different prisms in one evening and on one intimate stage.

Each of these special shows will open with a Nick Cave Solo set which sees Nick holding court from behind the concert grand piano, aided and abetted by the now longstanding solo line up of Warren, Marty and Jim. After this “solo” set, Cave will emerge from behind the ivory, shoulder an electric guitar and become one quarter of the mighty Grinderman, these same four musicians utterly transformed. If you’ve heard the record, you understand.

Just imagine it. Many of your Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds favorites reinterpreted in singular style by Nick at the piano, followed by the full-blown catharsis of Grinderman’s existential howl. This will be one for the ages and it happens only here, in Australia - this October.
